Junee wouldn’t move out of the picture. No matter how many times I shooed her away, she returned to my feet. She knew I was either leaving her behind to go walk another dog (she sniffs me extra hard when I return home) or it was time to walk her. Although I’ve had both of these tote bags longer than the day I adopted Junee three years ago, both bags have become my “dog walking bags” since 2021.

As an Amazon affiliate, I earn a percentage from purchases with my referral links. I know some consumers are choosing to boycott Amazon for its DEI removal. However, after thinking about this thoroughly, I want to continue promoting cool products from small businesses, women-owned businesses and (specifically) Black-owned businesses who still feature their items on Amazon. As of the first date of Black History Month 2025, each new post will ALWAYS include a MINIMUM of one product sold by a Black-owned business. (I have visited the seller’s official site to verify that Amazon Black-owned logo.) I am (slowly) doing this with older, popular posts too. If you still choose to boycott, I 100% respect that decision.

Anyone who peered inside either bag would quickly figure out I have a dog. Why else would I have a foldable water dish, a leash, biodegradable poop bag rolls, a veterinarian business card, pet vaccination records, a Wag! fanny pack and a Wag! cap? However, there is one item in the bag that might seem confusing to a snooper. Why is there a pile of random paper organized on one side of the bag that displays everything from old Toastmasters meeting agendas, online purchase receipts and pay stubs for jobs I held multiple years ago? The answer: Spring cleaning.
