I attended a pet fair and grand re-opening at our local pet shop, Pet Haven, in Burbank over the weekend. It was a great opportunity to spread the word about Dodgerslist and canine disc injury. I got tons of dog food samples that I'm going to package into gift baskets for the raffle on Claire's facebook page. And, I discovered this easy craft:
This cute little guy has a very inventive mom. She couldn't find a travel/carry pet bag that had the pockets she was looking for, so she bought a regular purse from the gap that was roomy enough for her little pup, cut holes, and hand stitched some plastic canvas of the type used for needlepoint or cross stitch.
The purse was lined, so she was able to insert the plastic canvas in between the layers, leaving the sheet whole for added stability. She made multiple windows on several sides and recycled an insert for the bottom from another bag that she didn't like as well. The purse she used had both handle straps and a shoulder strap, so she's able to loop the bag over one shoulder, or carry it freestyle.
I never thought to alter a purse to make it into a pet carrier. And I love the added pockets in her bag! I'll have to keep my eye out for one that would suit our needs.
