    She doesn't wear it on every walk, but she's grand with it on, doesn't seem like she loses energy with it, we just put in a 750ml water, small bowl, ball and poo bags.

    Yeah we have the same one Brodi is modelling. :) The had them in Airside the last time I was in there too. I got it for carrying our long training line for practicing our training in the park. Also I used it on a walk on a hot day and put water bottles in it and he was fine with it. Handy cos I could put his treats, poo bags and my keys too so I didn't have bulging pockets! :rolleyes:
    It doesn't rub or move around too much. A few weeks ago I left it on my guy while he was playing with my phone in one side and tracked him with GPS lol!! He ran around like a maniac and no probs. I was hoping to take a look at more expensive ones at Pet Expo next week but Country Hounds won't be there :( - that said somebody else at might have them there?

    :pac::pac: There was a method to my madness!! When I was building him up after his op we had to gradually increase our walks so we went from 10 mins to 60 mins which came to 3.4kms.. I was worried that if he was just off lead playing we weren't covering the same distance and it mighn't be the best for the leg since we need it stong etc.. so I walked up to the field in the park with him and let him run around and he made up 1km just up there - walk home the long way and we make the same distance ;) The app is called RunKeeper btw.
