Harry Manilow here with an important story about why preparation matters.

Good morning neighbors,

Harry Manilow here with an important story about why preparation matters.

One day my humans took me out for a walk on a beautiful sunny afternoon. The leash was on, the birds were chirping, the squirrels were suspiciously active… it was shaping up to be a great walk.

Before we left the house one of them checked the poop bag holder and said the four most dangerous words in dog-walking history:

“There’s one bag left.”

The other human said,
“That’s fine. One will be enough.”

Friends… it was not enough.

A few houses into the walk I politely handled my business like the gentleman I am. My humans proudly used their one single poop bag, tied it up, and congratulated themselves on being responsible adults.

They were feeling very accomplished.

And then…

About twenty steps later…

It happened.

The Second Poop.

Not a little bonus nugget.
Not a polite afterthought.

A full second situation.

My humans froze.

One of them whispered, “No… no no no.”

The other checked the empty poop bag holder like maybe another bag would magically appear.

Meanwhile I’m standing there calmly thinking,
“Alright, Phase Two is complete.”

Now my humans are standing in the middle of the neighborhood holding one full bag… staring at a brand new problem… with no backup supplies.

There was panic.
There was whisper arguing.
There was a brief and very serious conversation about using a leaf.

A leaf.

It was not a big leaf.

So my humans did what embarrassed humans sometimes do… they left it and hurried home.

But to their credit, they did the honorable thing.

They grabbed another bag and performed the Walk of Shame Return Trip back to the scene of the crime.

All while the neighborhood Mrs. Kravitz was standing at her window… watching the entire situation unfold like it was her favorite daytime television program.

Eye contact was made.

It was not comfortable.

Anyway… the situation was eventually handled, dignity was partially restored, and a valuable lesson was learned.

Which brings me to today’s announcement.

To prevent this kind of neighborhood humiliation, I convinced management at Zoomies & Purr to help everyone get properly prepared for spring walks.

Now through Sunday:

Leashes
Collars
Harnesses
Poop bags
Poop bag holders

20% off.

Because the only thing worse than forgetting poop bags…

…is realizing you needed two.

Learn from my humans.

Be prepared.
