Want your best friend to “hang out” with you while you shop or grab a bite to eat al fresco? A big boxy carrier just won’t do, especially if your four-legged wonder is a toy-sized dog that loves to snuggle and be near you. The PuppyPurse is functional and fashionable. It has easily adjustable straps and can be worn like a shoulder bag or a fanny pack, across the chest or carried like a purse. That kind of versatility means you and your little Prince can move about ready for just about any adventure, your hands free to pet your pet, something you can’t do when he in a traditional carrier. The purse’s insides wrap your dog in soft, luxurious faux fur with all sorts of finishing touches and fits most dogs under six pounds. The Coco Chienelle has a khaki-colored cotton bodice and light brown poly border trim ($70). The PuppyLove has a white bodice with colorful flowers ($65). When you buy the Bark-for-the-Cure puppy purse , which sports a pink ribbon pattern, 10 percent is donated to breast cancer research ($85). The Disco Dog! (pictured) comes in pink or black, airy organza with mirrored sequins ($75) . If your pup is in the mood for something more casual, the BabyBlue Jeans purse made of denim will do ($69), or consider always appropriate Basic Black ($69). To ensure His Wagness is comfortable, follow PuppyPurse’s size guidelines (scroll down). Another trendy and hands-free way to carry your puppy around is in a sling. This designer sling comes in a pinstripes with a skull and rose design or a koi fish print and can carry dogs of up to 18 pound ($69). The Pooch in Bloom sling has a floral and polka dot pattern, two exterior pockets for personal belongings or treats, and adjustable safety hook that attaches to the dog’s collar or harness, and holds dogs up to nine pounds ($65) . This simply structured sling in solid black or brown fits dogs up to 19 pounds and has a large zippered pocket for treats and one for your cell phone ($80).
