Thanks Nala's mom... I'm hoping the custom bag turns out. I love the other two Angie made for my other dog. I still think the metro bag, esp the color you got and also the gold one, are stunning though.
The carrier I use right now during my current dog's puppy/baby phase, has matching mesh on the bottom of the sides, almost the same as the Metro bag. I have been called on it SO MANY TIMES. Just last Thursday we were turned down at a restaurant, they saw the small mesh area and asked if there was a dog inside... they wouldn't even let us eat on the restaurant's porch area outside, with the dog in the ZIPPED UP BAG. They told us we had to go put her back into the car. We were out shopping and I was not about to leave her in the car, so we didn't eat !!
This also happened in a movie theater - they saw the mesh part and asked if there was a dog inside and yup you guessed it they didn't allow us in. We have watched numerous movies in the same theater with my puppy when I used the other bag without visible mesh.
My dogs are all very well trained and none will even make a peep during very loud movies or in restaurants. Even when other dogs lunge and bark at her, she will just ignore them. So, I was pretty upset, dogs can be better behaved than many children but they allow the kids inside.
I never had this problem with the carriers that completely cover the mesh area - EVER. And I've been sneaking my dogs into places for 10 years!
So, I'd have to either modify the Petote metro, or get the custom bag. I live in Los Angeles so we are eating outside at restaurants and shopping outdoors all year round with our pooches
All my best to you and your gorgeous yorkie babies. PS. My Baby NARS is a Juicy Couture fan and she told me to tell you she loved the topknot
