| help needed Ok yall I need help I have searched and searched for a bag that would hold my teapot Callie whose about 15 pounds and that would be big enough to go across my plus size body and I can not find one. I have really bad anxiety and some how Callie gives me a strength nothing else has and I think I could do so much more if I had her in a bag with her head poking out right there next to me. I feel like maybe i could go to yard sales and the farmers market we have here like I used to love so much but I just cant find a bag that would be the right size for her and then fit over my plus size body. I bought a pattern for four different type doggie bags but I am not a good enough sewer to make one and I would have to try and make it bigger then the pattern calls for. I really need help finding a bag or making one or anything please.

| aww.. try a plus size clothing shop and buy a bag u like that is big enough to fit your teapot in ..or simply buy a dog bag you like but sew in extra materiel on the strap to make it fit our boy is a little smaller but still a teapot and the thought of carrying him about all day is a back breaking thought |

| Have you thought of getting a "carrier" much like people use with a baby? I found one when Toby was teeny tiny and he loved it. Another suggestion would be a good sized purse - you'd have to sew in a clip for his leash but either a purse or a messenger type bag might work. I'll d some checking online and see if I can find a website with any examples of the carrier I had for Toby.

| www.glamourdog.com/dog-carriers. Go down near the bottom right and click on "specialty carriers" Check out the 7th one down in the mddle row, the Black Mesh PetPocket. It comes in a size for 10-19 pounders, and can be worn on the front or back. This is a bit different than the one I had but looks like it might work. Good luck!

Yorkie Yakker | bag a pup Send me some measurements and I will see what I can do. Glad to know that your baby helps you get out and do things. 15 pounds is a load to carry around. I think I'd try some kind of back pack design. Either that or put the bag on a wide strap that would go over your shoulder and let you rest your baby against your opposite hip. Laura |

| There are sling-type carriers that Moms use to carry skin-kids. Perhaps if you look in baby supplies, you can find one? Good luck with your search. BTW, you're not alone: I find that my little Bella can drop my BP by 15 points in a matter of minutes - she has a very calming effect on me. |

| I found this it's a little pricey but , hey it's in canadian dollars and the fact that it has wheels is good if she gets too heavy to carry around. Good luck with your search. Poochey COUTURE |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | You may want to consider purchasing a dog stroller. Much easier to push 15 pounds than carry it.

| I am going to post a link to a site I found this morning just searching around.... I have never bought anything from them, but it might have the type of bag you are looking for! As soon as I read your post, I went hunting for it! hope this helps, scroll to the bottom there are a few different carrier type purses/bags. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.yorkierescue.com/images/storeimages/hb2-1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.yorkierescue.com/storelist.html&usg=__Sc1yVidNSDE2smau9QF9go8q4Ns=& h=268&w=450&sz=48&hl=en&start=15&um=1&tbnid=IqLsfo O3RrYK3M:&tbnh=76&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dadult%2Byorkie%2Bstep%2Bin%2Bpurse%26 hl%3Den%26sa%3DG%26um%3D1 |

| Pet Fly's size medium carrier is really big, and I think would probably fit your 15 lber. I agree you might have better luck with a stroller though! 15 lbs is a lot to carry - I have a very hard time with my 11 lb girl. Welcome To Pet Fly's - Trendy, Edgy, Airline approved pet carriers for traveling in style, comfort and safety on board a plane, train, automobile or just hanging out with you. - the medium or super-size would be most likely to fit your girl. You can find Pet Flys for sale on several websites, so just because something is sold out here doesn't mean they might not have it on another website. Just Pet Strollers - Free shipping on pet strollers from Pet Gear, Kittywalk, Happy Trails, Petzip, Burley and more - great prices on strollers here. We have an AT3 All Terrain and it easily fits both of my girls.
