Cloud 7 for Tumi Pet Carrier

Delivery!
(On time!)

Everything is so carefully packed.  Love it!
 This is a furry, machine-washable pad that is then velcro-ed inside the bag.
(Summie wished they made one in her size!)

The thicker edge on one end provides support like a pillow.

Bruno's bags are in storage, and last week, we offered his Cloud 7 to a Good Samaritan, who had just rescued a pup from a killing shelter(!).

We've kept his Wagwear Messenger with us.  It's nifty.

But it doesn't offer him a structure for nap time, or privacy.  It also doesn't zip up, something we must keep practising for air travel, and for those unforeseen moments, when incognito status is required.

Bruno has been super with our new living arrangements.  However, he does get a tad displaced especially at bath time, for previously he was zipped up in his tote that was kept right by my bathroom sink.

Now that the new pet carrier has come, he's not feeling as lost.

He has a safe and comfortable place to go.

He makes himself right at home.

Settles in a jiffy, waits for me.

When zipped up, there is a design feature that allows the middle piece to pop up like a tent.  This gives Brunz the height needed within for if he wants to sit up, and look out.

One end can be unzipped and extended/lengthened to create more leg room.  The other end conceals a good sized-pocket.

Other thoughts:
Positives-  Well-made, discreet style, well-ventilated, holds its shape, surprisingly light-weight.  Bruno is 2.5 kg on a fat day; along with the carrier, we are still within the weight guidelines for in-flight travel.

Negatives-  Too costly.  Also wished that the top flap could be rolled aside, and held in place, like the "window" shown below.

Wished it also had a sleeve, like the previous design, that you could then slip over the handles of a roll-along bag.  

It is though, a sleeker and more practically-wrought bag, offering the pup, an alternative to my lap!
