These days you can get reusable bags for a buck each. Safeway, Tops, and Grocery outlet all sell them for that price in my neighborhood. Given that Olympia is still a small town, I can't believe you can't find them for a buck or two in urban areas.

If we had a dog porthole, Chloe the dalmatian (sweet but DUMB) would bonk her head every time. I guarantee it.

Kato the coon hound, OTOH, would use it to Plan And Scheme. And spy on the pit bull next door.

That picture of the pooch porthole makes me laugh and laugh.

It's awfully cute. Our spastic Beagle would love it but it would definitely be crazy making.

The first place I saw those $1 reusable bags? Walmart. Haven't seen them at Target here yet.

Trader Joe's has nice reusable bags. I purchased two of them and they happen to be perfect for carting the 35-40 audios books I borrow per month from the library. But I seldom remember to take one with me when I walk out the door without a plan.

While I'd rather use my gimme bags than to buy new ones, the compact nature of the Baggus does make them more attractive on that count.

You can get them for a buck here as well. They're all over the place.

OK, this is awesome. I just got invited to a conference call with a guest speaker who is an Assistant Professor of Popular Culture and "a national expert on social networking sites." Should be fun.

after all my linking to other design-y impostors, I figured I'd better confess! They look awesome & ... I can't believe I'm talking about a bag.

Ha!

The designy ones were cute, but the baggus fold up real small, even if you've lost the self bags like I have for haf of them, so they're easy to slip in a handbag or whatever. Makes them handier for me than my free ones.

It needs no explanation, the Pets' Observation Poodle from Hammacher Schlemmer. Nine inches wide and 5" deep, it gives "the inquisitive canine," which is cataloguese for "dog," a panoramic view of things at which to bark.

The only possible advantage I could see to getting this for The World's Stupidest Dog is that, maybe, eventually he'll rupture his vocal chords and be permanently muted.

But that would only be after many months of "BARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKISEEATREE! BARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKISEEAFLOWER! BARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKISEETHESUN! BARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKIHEARTHEWIND!" by which point I would likely have gone insane and chewed my own eardrums out.

Ironically, that will be the night the zombies come.
