I Succeed!-Kristen

I like to be prepared. That is why it took me an hour to clean out my car today. It feels good to know that if I (or anyone else!) need something, whether it's water, snacks, dog toys, or duct tape, I have it. My standard organization policy for the car is two shoe-box sized plastic containers. One is a first aid/picnic supply kit (the two things are essential for travel!), and the other has extra dog and people supplies. Some of this didn't fit or wasn't hygenic enough to be in the first aid kit. I frequently find myself opening this box at agility trials and trips to the park.

Today Luna's eye got irritated by something, and I was glad to not have to rush around trying to find what I needed. I pulled out the eye drops without any sort of search or extra trip to the store.

There are numerous listings of people/pet first aid kit supplies online, and I used one of those to create that kit. I threw in paper cups, plates, napkins, and forks for those emergency meals, as well as a roll of duct tape. My 'adventure' dog kit I have been working to form through trial and error and is as follows.

Adventure Dog Kit

• Muzzle
• Collar and Leash
• Plastic Bags
• Water Bottles
• Bowl
• Canned Food (with a pull tab!)
• Cleaning Spray
• Dog Toy
• Granola Bars/Goldfish Crackers!
• Tissues
• Sunscreen
• Bugspray (people and pet safe!)
• Permenant Marker

I will have to make sure I keep these supplies stocked as we begin adventuring further and further from home with more and exciting adventures. Don't be caught unprepared, put your kits together today!
