:) It's fine, and yes, it is pretty funny. Poop always is to some extent.

I know that that was not supposed to be funny, but I could not help but
laughing. I like the ones that come on a roll that you buy from the pet
store because they are sturdier and more organized. They are on a roll, so
you don't have to deal with this lump of jumbled up bags.

I've never liked using the sandwich bags as poop bags, probably because I
associate them with sandwiches, and everybody knows the adage "You don't
s*** where you eat".
It's really just personal preference though.

I like the idea of the conference call before class to meet t he others in
the class, learn your room numbers and instructor, and a few extras. TSE
used to send out a recording or other material, but we didn't know the
instructor until we reached school. I don't actually mind this so much, but
that does seem like a nice touch.
I sure wouldn't buy toys. I have found it increasingly unlikely that I s
hould buy any until I've been home for a while. Many are expensive, and
often my dogs don't want the ones I chose. I don't know why.
