If anyone is interested in buying it, look online for better prices. I got it for $124 with free shipping.
Also, this isn't a carrier I'd want to carry for long periods of time. It's big and an awkward shape to hang off your shoulder. Basically, it's a very nice bed on a rope.
I bought it for trips to the vet, traveling, and anywhere we will be sitting for a while.
They make a mini version that might be easier to carry but it would only fit puppies and small dogs around 3 pounds and under.
Jill, if you read this, thanks again for your help. The mini would not have worked for Big Gus.
