Old post I Know.. I stumbled on it in the Lab Rats award links lol.

Just wanted to chime in & Say that I just throw my mask into the bag that came with it.. I have the Swift Girl one (see my signature lol) But it came with a pink drawstring bag.. It is hanging up on my hose hanger thing (I put a cup hook in the wall, then used a velcro "baby toy keeper" to hold the hose..) SO I just hang the 1 string on the cup hook.. throw my mask in & pull the other string tight so it closes.. SO far it seems to work.. keeps cats & creatures out lol.

Oh... someone found a small thread about bugs. There is a much longer and grosser bug thread. Don't have time to look for it though. Maybe later if I have time and want to really gross the newbies out.

Don't know if this is the one Pugsy is talking about but it is gross none-the-less.

Nope that's not the one. The one I am thinking about has several pages for reading enjoyment.
Might as well have a little fun.
Warning...not for the squeamish or faint of heart or for those easily worried about bugs (not germ bugs)

Well, I guess I'll put my Mini Schnauzer on Cpap Watch! He'll eat anything that moves!!! Even dustbunnies, so my house is really clean
