Is this it? If so, yes, it is very purse like....I like it but not the price so much!! I will look for it on ebay, or if someone on YT has one to sell contact me!!

I was on Amazon earlier today, they also have a few on there. I'm not sure if the price is cheaper than eBay tho.

I am looking for a purse style carrier with a shoulder strap, feeling that may be more secure, but I don't know.

I take him with me to run errands, shopping, bank, etc.

Does anyone have a thought on this topic? Am I being paranoid?

There is no way I could carry ZoE in a bag hanging from my hand...she is way too heavy! I have three large kwigy bos and alternate between which one I use based on what I'm wearing.

I always keep Zo tucked safely under my arm, while in the bag. If I set the bag in a shopping trolley, I use a carabiner clip to attach the bag to the cart, so no one could grab the bag I run (I do the same thing with my regular big purse, although I usually shop with a crossbody bag that I never take off). A little paranoia is good, if if keeps you safe.

Here's a pic of ZoE in her gunmetal kwigy bo.

Amazon.com : Snoozer Kelsey Cross Body Pet Bag, Sage : Soft Sided Pet Carriers : Pet Supplies

I have that bag and a 7lb yorkie, I posted a review of it on here. I like it, it's much lighter than the jaradan bags.

I never let anyone hold Lola, and I'm always paying attention to her or I have my fingers under her buddy belt and leash around my hand, I also do that if someone wants to pet her.
I have a fabuleash and I really like the clip on it because it requires two hands to remove, but it's too short and rough to wrap around my hand.

Another great idea! Thanks!

ZoE is so cute!

Jaraden company has gone out of business. So whatever is out there that is it. I know Kristin (Maximo) sells Jaraden. You can contact her and see if she has any

How is it on your shoulders? Some of the past bags I've had are really uncomfortable and leave grooves.

It is great on the shoulders....the strap widens out and is padded where it lays on your shoulder, so it is not a problem with digging down into your shoulder!

I cant believe Jaraden went out of business!! I love my bags! Maybe they will be putting them ALL on sale soon!

I KNOW!!! I have emailed the company.....when people are selling junk, I can understand going out of business....but these carriers are great....strong, solid, well made, heavy duty zippers, great shoulder straps, .....what a shame if they really are going out of business!

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).
