When his blue heeler, Waylon, wants to go for a walk at Golden Gardens, Oakley Carlson doesn’t want to spend time and trouble assembling the dishes, toys and other necessities.
“I couldn’t find an all-in-one bag, so I decided to create it,” said Carlson. He sketched out a blueprint, which he took to a seamstress for a prototype, then connected with a Seattle-area manufacturer for Dingo-Dog-Duffel, a finished product made of heavy-duty, machine-washable canvas.
Snap off one end and it’s a food bowl. Snap off the other end and it’s a water dish. Along the middle is a square dispenser for plastic “waste” bags and a mesh pocket for cellphone or keys. Shock cords at each end can hold a toy or a towel, and there’s room for more stuff inside.

Cool! I have a couple of dogs, and this could be useful.
Thanks.
