today i finally broke down and bought a backpack carrier for leonidas...listen to my reasoning before you judge me too harshly :)
i'm taking him on our family vacation to colorado in a few weeks, and although he's a great walker, sometimes he gets tired out and his little legs don't have the stamina of, say, hudson or jack (my parents'/cousins' black labs, both of whom will be in attendance). so rather than leaving the little guy at the house (where he could pee on things and scratch up doors) while the big dogs get to go on hikes, i figured i'd find a way to carry him in case he gets tired.
i considered the baby-bjorn style with the carrier in the front, but then i saw this other product and it has room to carry treats and a water bottle, and i could zip him in rather than just using a drawstring (in case he tries to wiggle out), so that's what i went with. now you can judge; i know i deserve it, haha.

I'm disappointed that this post isn't accompanied by a picture of your new carrier in use...!
i had a leonidas-sized dog in high school. one time i took her on a hike and she got tired and i zipped her (with her head poking out of course) into a small-sized duffle and carried her off my shoulder. she loved it. strangers made fun of me. my point- i feel ya. nothing but love here. and also i want a picture too
so.excited.
so.so.excited...
