| sling carrier anyone? Kiwi has started pawing me around the house for me to pick her up and carry her. I have bought numerous carriers. But they are too bulky for around the house. Any recommendations about a sling carrier? Many are the internet look too bulky. I saw a woman in a store one time and she had a apron type garmet on-It reminded me of painters smocks-she had a deep pocket in the front and she carried her dog in the pocket. I'm not sure Kiwi would jump out of something like that. I think a sling carrier would be safer.

lol.. if you are asking my opinion i really don't think you should give in... by giving in you are telling her that she is in charge and that is how a lot of behavioural problems begin! instead try interacting wtih her on the floor with her toys, or going for a walk or giving her something like a Kong to keep her busy... | |

| Thanks for your advice. I do appreciate it. I bought her a Kong today. Both my husband and I have been giving in and picking her up when she paws our feet. We need to work on this. We have not been very good about using the no word.

| Hi there. I just got this new sling/messenger carrier for Murphy and Mia and they both love it. I bought it from Shana at Tinkerbells Closet and it was very affordable. It is nice and light and very comfortable for me and the babies.
