I claim: 1. A pet feeding and storage compartment, comprising:a bottom base unit, a top surface cover unit, and an inside storage compartment wherein the inside storage compartment is formed within the bottom base unit and wherein the top surface cover unit is movable attached to said bottom base unit or allowed to open and dose about the bottom base unit and wherein the top surface cover unit is sealed in dosed position of said bottom base unitthe bottom base unit includes a pair of end walls, a pair of sidewalls and a floor, an opening extends within an upper end of the bottom base unit between the pair of end walls, the pair of sidewalls and a floor wherein the opening interconnects with the inside storage compartment;a pair of end panels are positioned within the base unit wherein the end panels are parallel with the end walls and positioned dose to an end wall, each of the end panels and the end wall defines an end cavity, the end cavity is comprised of a width great enough to receive and encompass a hinge;the bottom base unit includes a plurality of rollers rotatable attached to said bottom base unit the rollers are positioned upon the four lower corners of the bottom base unit, the rollers are each positioned within a notched portion extending within the intersection of the sidewall, the end wall and the floor, the rollers extend within the notched portion a sufficient distance so the outer surface of the rollers is flush with the sidewall and the end wall, the lower surface of the rollers also does not extend a sufficient distance past the lower surface of the floor;the top surface cover unit covers the opening leading to the inside storage compartment wherein the top surface cover unit includes a ceiling panel positioned within the top surface cover unit wherein the ceiling panel is parallel with the top surface cover unit and floor, the ceiling panel defines a ceiling cavity with the top surface cover unit, the ceiling cavity is comprised of a width great enough to receive and encompass the bowl containers wherein the bowl containers extend within the ceiling cavity, the ceiling panel, the end panels, the floor panel and the sidewalls define the inside storage compartment of the top surface cover unit and bottom base unit put together;a pair of upper openings extends within the end of the interface of said top surface cover unit and intersect with the ceiling cavity, the upper openings each receives a bowl container and secures the bowl containers within, each of the upper openings includes a channel extending around an upper perimeter of the upper opening and a plurality of slots extending upwardly from each channel, the slots are spaced apart along a perimeter of the channel to form a twist lock configuration between the openings on the interface of said top surface cover unit and the bowl containers;the bowl containers match up with the diameter of the openings, the bowl containers includes an upper lip extending around an upper perimeter of the bowl containers and a plurality of securing portions extending from the upper lip, the securing portions are spaced apart along a perimeter of the upper lip to form the twist lock configuration between the openings on the interface of said top surface cover unit and the bowl containers, the securing portions enter the channel through the slots and are rotated in a clockwise manner in the channel and past the slots so that the securing portions no longer are aligned with the slots, the upper lip of the containers is also flush with the interface of said top surface cover unit;the bowl containers are also replaced back within the upper opening and secured within the upper openings via positioning the securing portions of the bowl containers within the slots of the channel and then rotating the bowl containers in a clockwise manner so that the securing portions of the bowl containers are not aligned with the slots of the channel, rotating the bowl containers in a counter clockwise manner releases the bowl containers allowing the user to clean the bowl containers;a pair of connecting hinges movable attach the top surface cover unit to the bottom base unit, the hinges extend within each of the end wall cavities so as not to interfere or engage the pet food within the inside storage compartment, the hinges also extend upwards wherein the top surface cover unit extends in an upward manner from the bottom base unit when opening the top surface cover unit from the bottom base unit to gain access to the inside storage compartment wherein the hinges would fold down into the end wall cavity when the top surface cover unit is in closed position, the top surface cover unit remains parallel to the floor of said bottom base unit while opening and closing the top surface cover unit about the bottom base unit and inside storage compartment via the hinges;the connecting hinges include a first member and a second member, the first member is pivotally attached to the bottom base unit within the end wall cavity, the second member is pivotally attached to the first member and the top surface cover unit, the second member is also positioned upon an inside of the first member, the first member and the second member are comprised of elongated structures, the first member and the second member are comprised of rigid and strong structure to provide adequate support for the top surface cover unit about the bottom base unit;a floor panel is positioned within the bottom base unit wherein the floor panel is parallel with the floor and positioned close to the floor, the floor and the floor panel define a floor cavity, the floor cavity is comprised of a width great enough to receive and encompass the adjustable handle wherein the handle extends within and out of the floor cavity, the floor panel, the end panels and the sidewalls define the inside storage compartment of said bottom base unit;the bottom base unit includes the adjustable handle, the adjustable handle extends within the floor cavity when not in use and extends outwardly from the end wall when being utilized, a grasping portion of the adjustable handle is also positioned within an indentation extending within the end wall when the adjustable handle is not in use, the adjustable handle slid ably adjusts with respect to the bottom base unit and is comprised of a telescopic configuration;the bottom base unit includes at least one locking mechanism and includes a pair of locking mechanisms to secure the top surface cover unit to the bottom base unit in a closed position, the locking mechanism extend between a end wall and the top surface cover unit, the locking mechanism includes a latch pivotally connected to the end wall adjacent the top surface cover unit, a loop member extends from the latch, a hook portion extends from the top surface cover unit directly above the latch, to secure the top surface cover unit shut upon the bottom base unit, the loop member is extended over the hook portion and the latch is pivoted inwards to a parallel position with the end wall, to opening the top surface cover unit about the bottom base unit and thus release the locking mechanism, the latch is pivoted outwards away from the end wall to a point where the loop member may be removed from the hook portion thus releasing the top surface cover unit from the bottom base unit;the bottom base unit also includes at least one end handle on the end wall of said bottom base unit, the end handle extends from the end wall, the end handle is positioned below the locking mechanism of said bottom base unit;the top surface cover unit interface includes at least one upper handle, the upper handle is positioned within a recessed portion of the top surface cover unit and is centrally position with respect to the upper end of said top surface cover unit, the upper surface of the upper handle, and the interface of said top surface cover unit, are flush so as to allow the user to stack objects upon the interface of said top surface cover unit without engaging the upper handle;a double pouch attached and is extending from the rear sidewall of said bottom base unit, the double pouch includes a closure mechanism to open and dose the double pouch thus securing the items within said double pouch.
