Question Do Airlines Weigh & Measure??

I'm wondering what your experience has been with airline travel - will they weigh & measure the bag?? I'm flying Northwest soon & still haven't bought a bag - in part because of size limits.

Northwest says the bag can't weigh more than 15 pounds, even though I know other airlines say 20. I would like to get one of the bags on wheels, as I am taking 2 and together they weigh about 8 lbs and I think the wheeled ones will keep them from knocking together and be easier for me to move thru the airport with. But almost every wheeled bag I see is outside of Northwest's measurements of 17Lx12Wx8H inches and they all look like they weigh too much by the time I add the dogs.

I also was looking at the new AKC Sherpa Carrier for 2 - but it's outside the measurements. I don't want to spend a bunch of money on a bag & then be in trouble when I get to the airport.

And yes, I know what all the airlines say about flying with 2 dogs.
