In addition to using the long plastic bags that our home-delivered newspapers arrive wrapped in to pick up dog poops, we bought a Bags On Board Dispenser with Doggie Clean-up Bags to attach to the leash. The little white capsule holds a roll of 12 bags that you pull out individually. It's a handy gadget.

Today at Target, I picked up a Munchkin Diaper Duck Dispenser, which is the same product but with a plastic duck attached to the cap and sold as a way for parents to compactly store bags to contain soiled baby diapers while on-the-go.

I wonder if I'll have one of these dispensers attached to my wheelchair when I'm old.
