I said "Loki OUT" and he hopped out. Now he randomly hops in and stares at me like, "OK I'm IN and yesterday you gave me a treat for this." When I was a at store one time, a lady had a little 4lb Yorkie girl who kept hopping in all of the carriers. We were laughing so hard at her. Her mom said she loves them because it means she gets to go somewhere and she doesn't want to be left behind! Really, the hard part is getting them to not climb/jump out when they get all excited. Have treats ready!
You can carry this like a purse so they are kind of cuddled up next to you and feel secure. If you have a hard time with the purse ones, there are pouch kinds too. There are also slings. Good luck!
