Travel Hack: When You Forget The Dog Leash

So we were visiting family for the long weekend. I got my own things packed.  All the kids’ things packed. Even the husband’s things packed. We get to a service station and realize that we did not pack the dog’s things – we forgot the dog leash. As if I don’t have enough to think about when getting ready.  We did grab the dog food, just not the leash. And while we can trust the dog at home with no leash, we can’t trust her in a strange place.

Brilliant travel hack for when you forgot the dog leash!

So my husband came up with a great idea – the strap from a duffle bag or computer bag!  It already has clips on either end, so it can easily attach to the dog’s leash. It’s pretty strong, and we had several to choose from.

It worked out quite well for us on the weekend, and I imagine we’ll be doing this again if  when we forget the leash again sometime!

I live in Bowmanville, and am a mom to four young boys - it can get a little loud in my house. I am a Christian, a part-time French teacher, a piano teacher and former homeschooler. I love finding the best deals, which will come in handy when our boys become hungry teenagers! We just moved to a house with more outdoor space, and I'm still getting used to life in the country (a walk around the block is a lot longer here!).
