The one thing I hate about owning a dog is picking up poop. But I see it as a small payback for all the joys of having Joey in my life.

I can only imagine what it must be like for those who don’t have the pleasure of petting his soft fur, teaching him tricks, taking him for a walk or watching him wag his tail in his sleep.

I always make sure that his poop bag carrier is clearly visible so that people with yards can see that we pick up after each other.

After awhile, picking up poop becomes a Nike — you just do it. Make it a little more fun to do with your own DIY hand-knit poop bag holder.
