| strollers, a slightly cheaper alternative I dont know how anyone else feels about pet strollers but i wanted one and i was going to pay $60 for one to put Gatsby in but i didn't have the money and they wear to short for me to push comfortablyso my grandmother had a incredible idea we went to a used baby store and bought a nice tall baby stroller that the seat lays down flat we paid about $23 then we went to the dollar tree and got a large mesh laundry bag we took the string out and it fit perfectly over the open part of the stroller we secured it with velcro and snaps. it fit three small dogs from 5 to 10 pounds but might fit more i just only have three i know some of you have kids and might have strollers around ither way i paid about $27 stroller bag thread snaps and velcro i cant post i pic because mine are to big but if i can figure it out i will i dont think it will work with umbrella strollers but it might be worth a try

| Wow I would like to see pics if you can post them. I had thought about doing something like that if I ran across a baby stroller. I have the pet gear stroller and my two are a little crowded.

| this is a great idea you have I used an umbrella stroller (for just 1 yorkie) I made a little hole in the back, fastened a small cord & snap and hooked it to his harness so he can't jump out. But he doesn't like it, he would rather walk I only used it last summer when he was tiny, & we went camping. |

| Go Grandma ! What an excellent idea ! I have wanted a stroller too, but hubby said they are too expensive, since we don't know if Pistol would like it. I see his point,....buuuttttt, I bet he would go for this idea. He loves to make something useful out of something not used anymore. Sounds right up his alley. Thank Grandma for the awesome idea ! |

| What a good idea! Too bad I didn't think about doing this before.My daughter has a thing for finding the "purfect" stroller and has sold about 3 of them at garage sales in her quest.lol.PS- she seems happy with this last one it is a 3 wheeled one!

| I had trouble with this because my computer is also my company laptop so I couldn't download the camera software. I got an SD card reader that plugs into one of the USB ports instead. No software to download, works kinda like a memory stick and it lets me download to any computer with a USB port. The card reader only cost me $10, is about the size of a matchbook so I can just throw it in my purse, and is worth every penny I paid for it. |
