Abstract: A pet waste and other item storage case is secured to the pet for carrying. Instead of the pet owner/walker carrying a waste bag, they now have the option of the pet carrying a storage case for retaining the waste and/or waste bags himself/herself. In addition, to a waste compartment, other pockets may be included to carry other items including, but not limited to, pet items (e.g. food, water, toys, extra baggies, etc.) or owner's items (e.g. cell phone, keys, etc).

Abstract: A method and apparatus is included for retaining a grouping of floral water tubes in a vertical level manner. The retaining mechanism comprises a thin semi-rigid foam sheet with a plurality (e.g. twelve) holes for retaining the floral water tubes. The individual foam sheets can come in large collections of sheets or rolls and may be individually separated (perforations) into sections of twelve. The foam sheets are loaded with floral water tubes and then filled together as a group. The tube covers are added and then the foam sheets with filled tubes are stacked together. The twelve tube sections may also be interconnected by male/female geometric shapes located on each end/side.
