I have the same concerns with my Tessa. I have had my purse stolen, just pulled it off my shoulder and ran off with it. Nearly stepping on my 2.5 lb Yorkie Thank God he didn't pick him up (I don't think he saw him). Bad experience. So yes I really worry about leaving Tessa at home by herself and about taking her with me in her purse bag. I never put her in the grocery cart (afraid someone will take her(they cut the strap with knife). And afraid someone will pull the bag off my shoulder. I think bag with strap across body is definitely better choice. And I can't help but wonder if some of this has to do with my age now (68). |
