| How does your dog travel?? I was just wondering how many of you use carseats for your Yorkie's?? I get strange looks going down the road but Schatzie loves her carseat and it keeps her safe as her harness attaches to the seat. There have been a few times I've had to hit my breaks pretty hard but the seat kept her safe and not "fly"... She enjoy's looking out the window and at times barks at big semi's passing us...Id bark too if I could cuz those semi's make me nervous, LOL

| Yes, I have a carseat for Pixie already!!! It's blue, looks almost like yours too. I think carseats are a great way to enjoy a ride with the pups and also very safe for both, he driver & the dog.

| How does your Yorkie like the car seat? Do they lay down while being driven or are they upright and looking around the whole time? My Yoda lays down for the most part. |

| What a precious picture of Schatzie. Thanks for sharing. So far, P.J. is either in his tiny carrier, with the seat belt secured around the cage (when I am by myself driving), or I am holding him (when hubby drives). As I was typing this, I thought to myself, hmmm he probably needs to be in his carrier when my hubby drives too. Especially considering the lead foot that my husband has. |

| Oh my gosh - how cute ! As you might know, I'm new to the yorkie lifestyle (and loving it!!). I didn't know about these carseats - I've been carrying her in her travelling crate. I'll be getting one of these for her. Where can I find it? |

| Fast Eddie - yes, Schatzie can lay down, sit up, or turn around without getting any sort of tanglement by her attachement to the carseat, it is wonderful. Avborges - almost all pet supply stores carry them. I will do some research again to find out where I got Schatzie's. It was only like $20.00 Not a bad price to keep them safe huh? It has pouches on both side ends (mesh bags) and a front zipper pouch to hold goodies (treats) and or what not. I had it when we had Half-Pint who was only a little over a pound. I purchased a small kids pillow to place in the seat to lift her up a bit cuz she was too small for it. (imagine that) However, Schatzie fit's perfect and she is a little over 7 pounds. Again, I will get back to you on the web site where I found the seat at.

| My boyfriend doesn't have a car yet. He's actually getting one next month. I was thinking of getting one. I saw the car seat at petco. Good to know there are other people who have them. Sometimes when I tell people what I have for my dog or what i want to get, people look at me as if i'm nuts and say that he's not my child but you know what, he is my lil baby Schatzie - I feel like i'm looking at Rambo's twin. I can't get over how much they look a like. |

Rambo's Mama, my husband tells me the same thing about me thinking that Schatzie is a baby and how I treat her like one, especially with the things we buy her. I don't care, LOL I love it...she is my baby!! And I pulled up Rambo's picture you attached to show my husband and he said, "oh Schatzie is soooo cute"...Im like, "honey, that is not Schatzie, it's her twin Rambo", hehehee
