When I carry Jamie though I hold him with my 3 middle fingers on his chest and my thumb and pinkie behind his front legs and my palm supporting him. Other than him just dangling down by the hip, the purse harness seems to create much the same hold. So maybe it isn't that uncomfortable. Either way I probably won't be going out to get one. I'm pretty rough on purses (tossing it in the car, dropping it right inside the door, accidently bumping into people with it...) so I think I'll just keep Jamie up in my arms.
see! that's what i mean... i also hold Kash as you described. he basically straddles my whole forearm when i carry him around the house, so all four legs are dangling there (just like this purse carrier thing). i think the only difference is that when i'm holding him on my arm there's nothing surrounding each leg (like how that purse has a hole cut out for each leg)...

Kash is very comfortable when i hold him like that, so i'm having an internal fight with myself about this product.

the website describes the material as soft and stretchy (as not to cut off the circulation to the dog's legs...) they even have certain ones lined with faux fur...

anyway, i still appreciate everyone's input.
