Thanks LS! What about the fundle messenger bag? looks manly enough for my hubby to carry around too....lol, even tho he carry around my purses with hesitation.

The mesh is so so on it. But it doesn't matter because your dog's head will
always be sticking out, you can't really close the zipper all the way, because
when you do the padded sides of the bag close on top of your dog's head,
making it tough to breath...it's hard to explain, I just find it doesn't work. It's
only good for carrying your pup around, but never for hiding her. Also it does
not have a sturdy bottom, so if you wanted to put it on top of your stroller
or on the ground, it would lose it's shape and may become uncomfortable for
your pup. It's really just for carrying imo. I only use it when we go on long hikes
and I don't want Bella to walk the full day. I'm very critical when it comes to carriers
though, I know what I want and I need it to serve a purpose...maybe if you are easier
going you wouldn't care about the details.

I'm very picky when it comes to certain things like this. I rather hear your review and go by it than just seeing online stores. Like it has to have a sturdy bottom, she has to breathe well in it, strong mesh, not easy to get out, etc...etc...

Better be picky/safe than sorry!

Exactly! Because 1. our pups' safety and comfort is key...and 2. those carriers
aren't cheap! So if you order and are unhappy, it's an expensive mistake.

LS would the fundle be big enough for 5.4 lb Toby? I can't really tell from the picture...

YES! The one I have is "standard" size, and I can fit Chanel in it(8.5 pounds,
very lean and long), she isn't comfy in it by any means though. And Bella who
is 2.5 lbs drowns in this Fundle, so I put two towels folded 4 times each so she
sits higher up. In my opinion it is ideal for a 5-6 pound dog.

That's great! That is going to be my next major Toby purchase, lol. But I will have to hold off because I just had to buy a new computer so money is tight now. Did you buy it from fundle or a retailer?

Ashley I bought it many years ago...when I had my Pom, it was for her.
At the time I had a friend in the pet accessories business, she got me
a good price from one of her dealers. So I don't know what is the best
place for you to buy one. BUT I'm sure after Christmas during boxing
week and such lots of online stores will have good discounts.

Sorry I was no help.
