The innermost liner of the dog chow bag is impermeable plastic, thats why the soy-bean oil dog chow *never* stains the outside of the bag. It makes an excellent Brand-Name, all-weather-bag for those that want to travel incognito. (If it rains you flip the bag inside-out and then no-one will know that its a Dog Chow bag anymore; but c'est la vie!) Just give the inside of the bag a quick wipe with a clean towel and you're ready to Deep-Six your M-Six! Not only that, replacement bags are as close as your 7-11, Can't say that about B&H! Can't beat the price either. And, I have a lifetime supply. Everytime I ride the New York Subway and I see a Dog Chow bag, I *know* there's a Leica in there somewhere! Can't recall seeing any diaper bags yet, great idea, just right for the millenium, and maybe a new trend is starting. I'll take a look next time I'm in the East Village. Good nite to all, its late, and I have to feed my dogs. Robert Hudyma email: rhudyma@netcom.ca.com or rhudyma@aol.com
