[nagdu] Before and after class

[Star Gazer]

I tried using the produce bags and just didn't like them. I remember asking
for them at the grocery store. This was my first dog and I was young and I
felt very awkard trying to explain that I wanted the bags to pick up poop.
Not sure why as the grocery store sells items for both input and output, but
that did bother me.

Rebecca, I am the same way. First I have never had a pup that didn't have
huge big piles of poop. Thus the sandwich baggie would be too small. Second
way way way back when I had my first guide I got a case of the rolls of
produce bags. I am on my thrid dog, and I still have 3 rolls left. They are
big bags. They cost less than 50 for the whole 4roll box. So that is what I
use.
