In my earlier post about the things I carry around, I had keys on a dog keychain in the photo. That keychain was a gift from my friend Jennic, who has the most adorable toys in her shop at KangarooBoo!
I have an annoying habit of leaving my keys at home and locking myself out, so I tried putting the dog keychain with the keys. Have you noticed the keychain’s resemblance to my dog Molly? This is not an accident…my adoration of spotted dogs started when I was a toddler and read “The Poky Little Puppy” ad nauseum. So I thought that having a keychain that played into my interests would help me to remember my keys.
Sure enough, it helps a ton. Molly is the last thing I see before I leave home, which reminds me to take my mini-Molly so I’m never without a dog. Go ahead and laugh, but maybe you’ve never sat outside your home for hours while locked out.

I lost my keys so often in high school that my resident advisor (I attended a residential science and math high school) gave me a key chain I could attach to my clothing as a graduation present.
Once, I locked my **still-running car with the three-year-old inside it**. Ack! I’m happy to say that my clueless key days seem to have dwindled as I’ve gotten older–though strategic leaving of keys at home when not needed on outings probably also helps minimize my lost-key days.
