Layla has a friend to stay

Layla and Lilly have been mates for several years now. An unusual mix - One so big and one so little. lilly is an escape artist and usually comes to our house to hang out under the house??Go figure!!! So while her human mother, who also happens to be my best mate has gone away Lilly has come to stay.

They are funny dogs really, a bit like 4 year old children I find. having had lots of experience with 4 year olds. The girls have swapped beds on several occasions now. Layla also gets her nose out of joint if Im giving too much love to Lilly. Too much can be merely saying hello to her.

In any case they have run together, shared bones, frollicked on the verandah and reminded me of the joy of dogs playing together. Its nice being part of their pack.

Welcome to the Houndbag Blog!

I have a dog, a very big dog, and she requires extensive paraphernalia on our long walks along the coast each day. This got me thinking as I balanced poop bags, treats, balls, money for coffee and papers, not to mention a bag full of sh@t!

I realised I NEEDED a Houndbag to carry all this stuff, so each morning walk became an exploration of how people balanced their stuff, and research became fun.

So it's here that I present the Houndbag, an item I hope will make dog walking a pleasure, avoid unnecessary fines, as you will never get caught short without a poop bag again, always have somewhere to stuff the “stuff”, find your phone, treat the dog and shout yourself a coffee for your effort. Oh and did I forget to mention that if your dog leash breaks you'll always have a spare one attached. Did I think of everything? I hope so!

So, from me and the big dog, enjoy your walk!
