| Dog carriers Sorry I haven't been on, by the way, dealing with a loss of a family member ATM so been v busy. So my boyfriend got me this bag, for jasper. I really need it because he goes everywhere with me, and if he is in the bag then there won't be. Problem going into lot of stores, rights...? Too dangerous tying him up outside, so think it will help. Just worried he won't like being inside it. It's only for the stores and transport situation. He has no problem being carried but hs never been used to. Crate or anything. Any advice. Thanks This is the bag btw Puppy Angel Coco Carrier, Large, Pink:... it's cushioned nd ventilated window, nd a part to clip the harness. |

| That's very cute. I would just try to work with Jasper at home in it...get him used to it. Throw a few treats in it..maybe a toy I know he'll get used to it...especially if it means he gets to go more places with you. Also, very sorry for your loss. Prayers for healing during this hard time going out for you.

| Thank you. Funeral was today, <3 Yes I think leaving it on the floor for him to sniff, then try some treats or a toy in it, then maybe setting him in it, and eventually carrying it'll will be my way of testing it. He always gets ready to be lifted when we enter the shop so it's the transition of getting into the bag, will make things so much easier for me. I've had some rude comments when I have tied him outside in the past. |

| Yeah, this will be so much safer for him than leaving him outside, too.

| Lol I just seen this article of reasons to use a bag. It's very funny, and not to be taken too seriously Dog in a Bag Pros No need to pick up your dog's crap in the street, it goes straight in the bag. You can wear animal fur and animal rights activists can't say a thing. People know you're a lady with money to burn. It's harder to lose a handbag that barks. It's a good conversation starter. Your bag has a deterrent with teeth for curious theiving fingers. If you bump into Paris Hilton in the street she might comment on your dog-handbag-coolness and become your best friend. If you talk to yourself in the street you won't look so crazy, people will just think you are talking to your dog. You can get away with taking your dog into a shop, how cool is that! Carrying that extra lump in your bag will help you burm more calories and lose weight. Dog in a Bag Cons You look like a dick! Other dog-obsessed idiots will want to talk to you, or if you're lucky they'll just smile and stare. Dog suffocation risk. You're out of luck if you have a cat / ferret / fish / lobster etc. (actually, maybe you could keep a lobster in a handbag... but what if it snips the strap?!?) An expensive mutt may make your handbag more of a target to thieves and there's a shortage of pet detectives. You might not do so well in that job interview. Paris Hilton might become your best friend. The dog will think it's the pack leader and your it's bitch. Just ask the Dog Whisperer. Your dog might chew your expensive designer handbag. If you're really unlucky it might try to make sweet doggie love to it. You'll need a big bag for that German Shepherd. |

| My dog loves his carrier:) I have a bag for Teddy and he loves it so much! When I get the bag out of the closet, he starts spinning around in circles of excitement! When I put him in his bag, I pet him a little bit, and it ever he seems to be moving around, I just put my hand against the mesh, and he sniffs my hand happily and knows that I am there for him. When I get home and open the bag, sometimes he pops his head out, then puts it back in, and goes to sleep even though he could get right out! Some pictures of Teddy in his bag |

| oh my I love the dog carriers. There are many that look like handbags and are very comfortable for the pups! Good luck in your "hunt" for the perfect bag.
