stuffing a dog
mimosa bought zz a pair of boots the other day...but becuz they didnt quite fit (and considering she was far more interested in chewing her booties than wearing them), we exchanged the boots for a doggie bag instead.it's quite funny to try put zsa zsa into the doggie bag...she's like a jack-in-the-box...her head keeps popping out! 2 people are required to complete the task of stuffing her (yes, stuff her) into the bag. One to push her head in and hold it there while supporting the jiggling bag, and the other to zip up the bag without zipping any of her copious fur in the process.
Anyhow...once inside, she's pretty sedate. In fact, the minute you pick up the bag and sling it on your shoulder, she gets the hint that she's going "gai gai" and so will stop jumping and wriggling inside. 3 minutes of carrying, we could actually unzip the bag slightly for her to put her head out.
Interestingly, after she realizes that the bag is just another mode of transport, zz actually appears to enjoy the ride. Shiok ma...the rocking motion...get to go everywhere, see everything without even having to lift a paw.
Just look at her enjoying the ride! The mutt is resting her head on the bag flap and just watching the world go by. ;P
