Yes, its not too early to get the trashcans locked up.
However, you will only "forget" to p/u the items once.
Laugh!
The bad news is the dirty "items" can make the dog very sick.
Running to the vet sick.
The plastic alone is scary, what that can do to the internal workings of a b's tummy.
This isnt MY Story but its a good one

Its a radio program. The guy told a story of how his parents got a Basenji. They wanted a dog that didnt slobber…shed or any of that. They tell the HORRORS of the dog lol. Because they didnt know anything about them lmao. BUT they gave the dog away in another state I think...and the dog made his way back home. Its great.
