Like many city dogs without the benefit of a big yard, Gidget is taken on walks at least three times a day.  For even the briefest of these walks, GidgMom grabs a particular small shoulder bag permanently packed with a number of items:

1. ✴ Poop bags (4, as peops may need to bum one)
   

2. ✴ Cash (corner stores and cabs, if need be)
   

3. ✴ Pepper spray (off-leash dogs & 2-legged animals)
   

4. ✴ Whistle
   

5. ✴ Flashlight (tiny LED)
   

6. ✴ Comb (touch-ups & burrs)
   

7. ✴ Moleskine notebook & pen
   

8. ✴ Leash for strays (Gidget’s a magnet)
   

9. ✴ Vet hospital magnets (for newbie dog owners)
   

10. ✴ SamoyedMoms.com cards
    

More than a few blocks on summer days will entail carrying a water bottle and drinking cup.  In that case GidgMom either will add a water bottle carrier or a small rucksack.  The rucksack’s contents include a dog First Aid kit and other items that will be photographed soon for inclusion on this page.
