| Can't Decide on a Carrier I have a great tote for hiding Sydney, but I would like to get a new hands-free one where she can have her head out. Her old front pack is too small. I did some searching and I found one that looks similar to the healthy back bag. I would rather have a sling versus a front pouch What do you think? Messenger Pooch Pouch - at Dog Houses Pooch Pouch Messenger Pet Carrier - CatsPlay.com - Fun furniture, condos and climbing gyms for cats and kittens. The other one is a bit different but still a sling. I can't tell if she would be able to have her head out, though: Amazon.com: Vo-Toys Jeep Urban Sling Khaki: Home... They are both in my price range. Syd is 9-months old and weighs about 7 pounds. If you have any other ideas, I'm open. Thank you! |

| If I'm understanding what you want correctly, you might want to look into these: Fundle Dog Carrier - Cherry Farm They appear to have different patterns and colors too if you search around a bit.

| I looked at the fundle and that would be my first choice...if I could afford it. I hate when that happens. lol I do appreciate the suggestion, though. Any thoughts on the two bags I found? Does one look better than the other? |

| Of the ones you posted, I think I like #2 the best. I really don't like #1 with the dog on the guy's back, though maybe you could situate it so the dog was in front of you. #3 just looks a lot like a regular tote bag to me. I can't recommend any personally since I've got bigger girls who need the sturdy carriers. Good luck! I forgot to add I have read good things about Celltei carriers. Here is a link to the clearance section: http://store.celltei.com/sp20susa.html. Hopefully, they will have something similar to what you want in your price range.

| Those bags look great. I really like the pocket, but it's out of my price range. They do look like they are well made, though. Thank you. Just because I can't get an expensive bag now, doesn't mean I can't down the road. I will keep those on the list. As for my choice #1, I wouldn't put Syd over my back to walk around. I know what you mean. I would carry her in the front. There's video of a woman with the bag in front of her. Thank you again. |

| the trouble with fundles I have been searching for a FUNDLE in Canada for months, it arrived today and I took my little guy (approx 5lb) out for the first time. I have some concerns. My Tucker can not have his head outside unless he is standing on his back legs, he slides down to the bottom and the top (the pads) close like a spring over his head when he trys to rest. The only air is from the little bit of netting on the top which does not afford him much airflow when the top closes so tightly. To have air FLOW there needs to be more than one place for the air to get in/out. I bought the standard size because of his weight. I am now thinking of adding some large decorative gromets to the front and back and making a full mesh top that will attach with snaps/velcro to increase the airflow when he wants to rest. I have to say it is just as comfortable as everyone said, and aside from the issue with size and breathing it's a wonderful thing. I saw a pad on the Korean website that is used if the unit is too large but I can't seem to find it on any North American site, I will probably just make one. I know that I am an overprotective Mom, but has anyone else had these issues? |

| Hey Babe... If you're willing to save up for a bag, I would save for a Kwigy-Bo Carrier. They are amazing. But they are pretty pricey. $$$$$$$ Here's the link to my thread with the Kwigy Bo we bought from RDB911- http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...o-carrier.html The messanger one you listed looks cute and easy to carry. I would get that one over the Jeep one FOR SURE. The Jeep bag looks like a duffel bag and is not as fashionable/cute. Also the messanger bag looks way more functional for a pup's need. Good luck with your search!! Snick & Viv
