Dog Supplies - the great Bon-ton bag search

Being a good dog owner, I strongly believe in picking up after my dog, and in pooper-scooper laws in general. Not that I enjoy doing it - who does - but the streets would be impassible if we didn't do it.

So, a few days ago I realized that we did not have enough bags with us to survive to the trip's end. This afternoon, we ventured into a large store I noticed in the Gare area of St. Remy to find bags for my Bon-ton bag holder. Although it was a large pet and plant store, with many nice items, baggies was not one on the shelf. The manager could not tell us when she would be receiving more.




Who would think this would be such a difficult item to find? In the US, one just walks into Petsmart or Petco and grabs packages of rolls without thinking twice.

We then tried Canimouse, a cute little store in St. Andiol including a self-washing station for dogs and cats as well as animal supplies, but still came up empty.

Next stop was a small store in Plan D'Orgon which again had nothing.

So onward and upward to Cavaillon, into Brico Marche' and voila, not just rolls of bags, but Bon-ton bags, a triple pack which is more than enough to keep the streets clean from Avril for a few more days.

Merci!!
