Reader tip: Reuse newspaper bags on dog ‘duty’

November 19th, 2009, 5:33 pm · Post a Comment · posted by Samantha Gowen, Pet Tales editor

orgpaper112408Pet Tales wants your handy tips for cleaning up — or living with — our furry friends. As you know, they produce a lot of debris: fur, dandruff, and yes, waste.

Today’s tip involves recycling, if you will, and was submitted by Patty Royce, who walks her dog, Annie, twice a day:

My mother-in-law, who lives with us, gets The Register every day.  We have found the orange baggies they put on the newspapers are invaluable as doggie poop bags. (Probably any one who has a dog and gets the Register already knows this.)

A man around the corner from me also made a wooden dispenser that he strapped to a metal street pole.  He puts his orange bags, neatly folded into squares, inside it — and I can tell people are using it.

If you have a tip to share with Orange County pet owners, send it to Samantha Gowen at sgowen@ocregister.com. And thanks, Betty!
