Did your bag arrive? Mine was delivered today! OMG! I love it!!! Thank you so much for the suggestion. I was really unsure and then went ahead on a leap of faith. You know it is just a bit smaller than another I have, but the other looks like a diaper bag and this one really does look like a purse! It is amazing! I am looking forward to using it. Also, I was a bit unsure about the defect they mentioned on the pet screen, but even though when I inspect it I see alot of pink, but when you look at the bag normally, you can not tell, it blends right in with the pink behind it. So again, thanks! We sure got a great deal!! I am amazed how well the Jaraden bags are constructed!

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

OK, so I also get this cross body bag and I have used it once. We were out for several hours and I made several stops. This one is great! Jack was happy as can be inside and it was very stealthy. A couple cashiers asked if he was in there and I let him peak out the side and say hello. Otherwise he wasn't noticed as far as I knew. I even stopped in a place to get a quick salad and set it on the seat next to me and nobody noticed him in there.

One thing I found is that if the strap is not shortened sufficiently and the bag lands more on your legs the passenger gets bumped about more than one would like as you walk. Nobody needs a passenger with motion sickness. So easy enough to correct by adjusting the strap. I also felt much more secure having the crossbody strap. I may add a loop to put a clip on the bag that attaches to a belt around my waist as added security.

I have a Jeraden Windsor, given to me by a dear friend, when we got Katie. It's a heavy bag, but it is beautiful. They put a lot of thought into making a well-ventilated, nicely structured, comfortable bag for a dog.

I worry about this all the time when carrying my pups. I have voiced this concern to my hubby, so he's aware when we are in public that we need to be alert. I figure if someone tries taking my purse, they will have to get past my 6'4" 280lb hubby to steal our babies

You know, before we got Jack, I never thought of this. One reason we chose the breed was to have a portable pet. We did not feel that we wanted to bring a pet into the family only to be left home alone and boarded when we are away. My plan has always been to have my little buddy with me most of the time. I discussed this with the breeder and wanted a good temperment that would lend itself to being a good traveler and good errand runner. I didn't imagine this risk. Well, at least I am aware and am taking measures to keep him safe.

I am blessed with Jack who is a very stealthy buddy. He is very content to hang out in the bag. No barking, whining, or trying to climb out. I am thinking that if he is this good as a playful pup, we are golden. Fingers crossed!

No you are not too paranoid at all. If I took my baby on the road with me a lot I would be paranoid too. I don't know how structured or fancy you want the bag to be but I make a cross body hobo style pet carrier the "Pooch Pouch". Feel free to visit my FB page Bella Dawn's and take a look.
