This treat bag, folks

So @dogs-on-logs mentioned the Etsy shop where she got her vests (https://www.etsy.com/shop/GiveADogAHome) and I went to look. The dog vests are very nicely designed and all but DID YOU SEE THAT TREAT BAG?

IT'S A HINGE. A ONE-HANDED HINGE.

Do you know how long I have been looking for a treat bag that stays open, but also closes easily? I have *so*many* fanny packs, including three I made myself, with zippers and velcro and stiff leather with flaps that fold over.

This beautiful thing has a hinge that pops open easily one-handed and pops closed too, like when a horse has spotted the source of the treats and wants to investigate:

... or (more importantly) keeping treats from falling out when I need to be bending over doing Chore Things. Or, you know, posting trot. (Or jogging, I suppose, I bet some people do that while out with their critters.)

There's so much room in there for dog treats, horse treats, the maker even suggests a couple tennis balls.

There's a pocket in the back perfect for sliding a phone in & out. I've been using it, it works great, but since I'm using the phone to take pics I have cardboard so you can see it. The sides are also pockets, the maker suggests using for poop bags & such.

Plus this front velcro pocket, which looks good for Coggins papers, ID, maybe a little cash, definitely pen and checkbook on farrier day, etc.

I initially thought that loop with the snap was going to be pleasantly handy for hanging the bag while not in use, but once I put it on I realized it was probably for attaching a dog leash. It is, of course, working great for hanging as well.

DO YOU SEE THIS WONDERFUL THING??
