A Tool, a Hat, and, of course, Poo Bags

It's been an period of fabulous, soggy finds! So soggy I've found myself air drying individual poo bags as I walked or ran and even using my clothesline! I'm thinking I might just be the first person EVER to carefully clothespin unused dog poo bags to their backyard clothesline. I'd be honored receive THAT certificate!

Bag #1...bonus points for paw prints.

Bag #2 found on the greenbelt while hiking.

Bag #3...it was windy so I had to hold it down.

Bag #4

Bags #5 and #6...I love a two for one find!

Bag #7...you can't tell, but it was a challenge to reach down far enough to get this treasure.

Bag #8...bonus points for zebra stripes.

Bag #9...super soggy, but clean!

A tool! Definitely saved someone a flat tire and maybe we'll use this odd thing.

Found a soggy hat! After washing, this went into my "donate to those who are homeless" bag.

Cool accidental pic of us running...looks like we're going super fast, eh?

Soggy Bag #10

And then my favorite find! I was driving to HEB and Costco and on the way I saw something blue in the gutter. I obsessed over what I hoped it was the entire time I was shopping. So when I stopped on the way home and checked it out, well, I was thrilled to see it was 11 bags all connected in one fabulous long line!!!

Super Soggy Bags #11 through #22!!! Bonanza!!!!!

I had to hang them on our clothesline to dry. Our chickens in the background were hoping it was a big worm.

A Perfect Storm of Dorky Awesomeness

So I've been thinking about doing this blog for a while, I'm almost embarrassed to say. It's been the perfect storm of dorky awesomeness that's spurred it into fruition. You see, the thing is this. I'm a little bit obsessed with the things I find when I'm out walking my dog. And we walk A LOT! I figure we clock close to 20 miles a week on average. And on our walks I've had this mad, crazy habit of finding things. And by things I mean brand spankin' new doggy doo bags...and other cool stuff, too. I know. I know. Really? She's going to blog about this? The short answer is yes.

Here's the thing. For a long time now I've walked my dog, Hazel, and before her, Scout, and I've never, ever bought those doggy doo bags. Ever! I've actually managed to find them on our treks. When I said the perfect storm of dorky awesomeness, I have to show you my haul from just one week.

Four, Five, Six (all still stuck together)

Bonanza!!!

And then I found this, the icing on the cake. An awesome new stamper that I can use with my students when we study winter.

I know, right?!?! Fabulous!

I'm just going to trust that you understand how amazing and wonderful all of this is. 

Signing off until my next fabulous discoveries....
