I know I just wrote (too much) about picking up dog poop, but something else came up that I felt like I needed to add.
My girlfriend got me a thing that you put on the end of the leash for poop bags. Like a toilet paper dispenser, but for picking up dog crap.
Anyway, the bags it came with are thin. Like, really thin. So thin that I imagine it would float away if you let one go on a completely windless day.
Being so thin, when picking up fresh dog crap, I can totally feel the temperature and texture of the specimen more than I could with my old bags, as if the bag is not even there.
And this is not something I want to deal with when trying to enjoy a nice walk in some fresh air. I totally wasn’t expecting it the first time I went to clear up after my dog so I let out an audible groan which I’m sure would have looked/sounded bizarre to the people around me…
So, I need to either find better bags that don’t make me want to heave every time I go to clear up after my dog or just put up with it.
I know a dog poo bin in garden is the economical way to get rid of it but I can hardly take it with me when I go for walks! I’m definitely looking into getting one for my garden but I’m still not sure how to deal with my latest issue.
Also, I’m not sure whether to tell my girlfriend because she got me the bags as a thoughtful gift but I’m sure she’ll be able to find the gross funny side if I do tell her. I wish she had got me some thicker, earth friendly poop bags instead!
Just thought I’d share that with you guys.
Oh, and yes. Yes, that is the way I just announced that I got a girlfriend.

I'm sure she's gonna love making her debut in a post about steamy shit. lol
Congrats on the girlfriend but I'm so sorry about the crap barrier not being sufficient.
Can you empty the “bag dispenser” and stuff in sufficiently thick bags?
I have these bags. While convenient, not only are they thin and you can feel everything, they also don't mind ripping…which is how I covered myself in poop that one day! They do have thicker ones that can go in those dispensers, but they are more expensive.
And you forgot to tell us which of your four factoids wasn't true. I need to know!
I was wondering when you were going to tell everyone about the girly 🙂
A girlfriend who thinks to give you ultrathin poop bags? How romantic!
Congrats!
A girlfriend who brings your four footed pal gifts always gets good girlfriend points – even if the bags are thin.
My parents used to use the newspaper bags – they tell me you have to be careful now though – the bags are biodegradable and dog shit seems to speed up the degrading process.
Yay girlfriend! Besides being thoughtful enough to bring you poopy bags, what else should we know about her? Do we need to be protective and tell her that if she hurts one of my favorite bloggers she'll get the rusty spoon treatment?
And yes, which factoid was false??
Poop bags are the ultimate in romantic gifts.
So, you're new girlfriend is subtly suggesting that you double bag….
Yes, that's how I congratulate you on dating smart women.

The “rusty spoon treatment” sounds nothing like the “aunt jemima treatment!”
What a great handwarmer on a cold day! Plus, now you can actually feel if your dog is getting enough fiber. Double bonus.
I use those! They don't break, even if they are thin – the newspaper bags: those are THIN. Congrats on your girlfriend!
Wait WHAT?!!! I've been replaced, just like that??? Youngman, say it isn't SO!!!??
Well, congratulations. I've been waiting for you to realize that, although I'm old and decrepit, I'm the right woman for you, but if you're not going to figure it out, then it's your loss.
Love,
Janie
Congratulations on having a lovely person to present you with gifts of thin crap bags! =D
(When I saw the title of this I was already prepared to comment with “Okay YoungMB, one post about shit is okay, but two in a row is outright” but since it was your own way of making a big announcement, I shall forgive it. 😉 )
Whoop Whoop! Can't wait to hear more about the girlfriend and the poop.
Congratulations on having someone to split the duty of picking up doody with!
Also, you're right about those bags being so thin you can actually feel the heat and contents. So… why can't they make condoms the same way?
With such sweet-talk about caressing warm dog-turds, Youngman, I'm sure your girlfriend will linger by your side for many years!
hahaha you are too much! But I think the same exact thing everytime I see my sister use one of those!
