finally, my dog poop can gets its proper recognition! i'm so chic i can hardly stand myself. ;-P
I have a big metal trash can like this in my kitchen, all the time, for dog-proof trash storage. :) I like the way it looks, too, better than a white plastic trash bin...
I used the IKEA Knodd bin as my son's diaper pail; it's great at keeping in the smell, and it looks sooo much classier than a Diaper Genie.
I can't wait to not need it anymore. :)
