That's the one thing I really like about the Celltei bags. There is a zipper so that you can completely close the openings. Also the zippers lock in place so that you furbaby can't work them open.

Hi, Here is my post from another thread, along with the photo. This is from the thread: http://spoiledmaltese.com/forum/index.php?...c=2219&hl=Angie

".......Celltei's site was so easy to use. So anyway, I called them because I want my bag to work in the car, too. With taking two to the groomer at the same time it is easier if Catcher is in his carrier in the car so I don't have to fuss with him to get him inside it to take him in. I can't hand carry two dogs at the same time and I don't like them walking on the ground and floor at the vet's, which is where the groomer is.

So, anyway, the lady (Angie) that I spoke with at Celltei was just wonderful. She said that their new version of the Classic Tote-o-Pet was going to have a flap on it that can be used with a seat belt but they still had the old model in stock and wouldn't be adding the new feature until all are sold. BUT she said she would make one of the new styles for me. It will take 3 weeks but that is OK with me. I am so glad she told me about this.

The price of these bags is really reasonable... I sure hope I like it...One of the things I like is that the dog can stick his head out of the small opening and his body stays inside..... anyway, here is a photo. http://celltei.com/cltosm.html"

I have the small Juicy bag and I don't like it.  That is not to discourage anyone from buying it but Bella is able to wiggle her way out of the flap.  I am thinking of trying the velcro to close it off b/c it is just a hassle to keep her in it.  It is so cute and I love it but I end up using my Petote bag just b/c it zips all the way.  Maybe she needs more training to keep her in there.

By the way Bella is just about 4lbs and she fits in it fine but she wants to wiggle out!

I have a question. When Brit is in her carrier she is always perfect still. When I do go to a store that lets dogs come in, I let her stick her head and front paws out, and she is so still that people think she is a fake dog!

Well, if she is the type of dog that sits still would the Juicy be okay? So the Juicy does not zip all the way closed?

All this talk about scrapbooking has gotten my interest up.  Do you have to possess any artistic talent for it?  If so, then it might not be for me.  I failed arts and crafts in kindergarten.  Actually, I'm thinking my daughters might like to do it.  I assume that the craft stores carry supplies?  Or are there other sources?  What would they need, besides a stack of photos, to get started?

Saltymalty~ You don't have to have any talent (lol) I am not talented with arts and crafts at all-but this I can do and it is SO MUCH fun and the end product is priceless-albums of your family-they make AWESOME gifts too. Its something you could do with your daughters too. I like to get together with both of my daughter in laws and we do it together when we can-its so nice too cause we share all of our stuff! Michaels carries lots of scrapbooking supplies, Target carries some, but the best is to go to a Scrapbooking store if you have one in your area-its awesome-they offer so much. Alot of them offer classes to if you'd be interested in that. I was doing Creative Memories for awhile-going to classes and that is a blast-but mostly I do it at home now. My hubby turned one of our bedrooms into a scrapbooking workshop for me and I love to go in there and just lose myself into the memories of the pictures I'm putting in my albums!! -My goal is to go back and redo albums of my children when they were younger. But right now I'm trying to keep up with the grandkids!!

(oh yes and of course trying to get pictures of Ruby Jean for her album)

RJ's Mom, I'm headed to AC Moore's after I drop the kids off at school! I have so many photos, and my digital camera uses CD-Rom so I have ooodles of digital images too. I think I'm going to let all three kids (my son too) work on scrapbooks for my mother and mother-in-law (although she won't appreciate it) for Mother's Day. Thanks.

Brit's Mom, the Juicy bag is perfect for a pooch who likes to "hang" out. The pup is strapped in so she can't fall out of the bag, but you do have to be careful and place her on an even surface so the bag doesn't fall over. I usually carry her. I always prefer a satchel bag to a shoulder strap so I don't really use the strap. For me, it hits too low on my body to be comfortable. I am about 5'8" and the bag hits just below my hip when I use it. I'm going to take it to my bag guy and have it shortened. I am hoping to use the excess leather from the strap to fashion a closure for those times I don't want her head popping out of the bag. But I'm kind of lazy when it comes to things like that, so it might never happen...although it was a good idea.

edited: The new Juicy terry bags have a lock closure on the zip down window side of the bag. I didn't really like the colors nor the terry so that's why I chose the stem bag. I had originally tried to order the pink one, but that's a whole other story....I'm happy with the green bag.

My personal obessessions....

My husband started me on cars. The first car is my baby. It puts out well over 400 horsepower and will take any vette (except an 05 Z06) and has beaten vipers.. Its an 86 Z28 with a built 350. I love that car, put the interior in it myself

The other is my hubby's new car.. its a 98 Trans Am convertible. It's fast and fun and beautiful.

My other love is traveling.. I love traveling.. I've been to half of the states in the country..

Beyond that I love my macs, pup and ofcourse my hubby.

 

[saltymalty]

I love the red convertible! My first car was a red convertible, so I'm kind of partial to them....it was a 1967 Karmenn Ghia.

 

[rubyjeansmom]

Oh Yes!! I forgot to mention those terribly ridiculously expensive Longaberger Baskets!!!!! I love them!

I don't know that I would call coffee an "obsession" with me...but I definetely HAVE to have it in the mornings...more like an addiction...I like mine with plenty of Splenda and Fat Free French Vanilla Creamer!

YUMMMY!!!! I am def. a "don't talk to me until I have had my coffee" type of morning person!

 

[k/c mom]

I'm obsessed with tea... particularly Tazo blended teas. I have seven boxes of all sorts of blends here at home and a little "tea bar" set up in my office at work. I have about 12 types of tea there and drink about 5 large cups a day at least. I try to drink plenty of both green and black teas and often put one bag of each in my cup so I can get lots of anti-oxidants and all the good stuff that is in both black and green tea. My total favorite is Tazo Organic Spiced Black Tea. It has a "kick" to it with the added ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamon, cloves and star anise..... soooo good!

I also love the Yixing purple clay tea pots and little cups that go with them. I use them when I have time to relax and enjoy them on weekend mornings. I have five pots and would love to have lots more.... but just how many tea pots does one person need!

i think m really going to get into the orchid thing...i cant wait for them to arrive..i hope my cats dont kill them. here is one of the beauties im expecting:

 

[rubyjeansmom]

Wow--that orchid is beautiful! Do you need a greenhouse to grow them or can you do it in your home? That would be a great obsession!!

 

[dr.jaimie]

u grow them inside! all they need is a window for their light..they seem pretty easy to take care of. my mother has 3 and are doing fine. im so excited.

 

[k/c mom]

Lady M, your new orchid is beautiful... I know you will enjoy having it in your home.

I'm in to orchids, also. I have three at the office and I'm down to two at home. I've had the best luck with re-blooming with the ones that have lots of foliage, not the broader leafed phalaenopsis. I've never gotten that type to re-bloom and no longer buy them. I've had great success with types such as oncidium and small and large cymbidium. The flowers on the oncidium are very small and not as showy as some of the others but they keep re-blooming so nicely and some have nice scents... one smells like chocolate! At work I have them in my office in a large window with a deep window sill. Orchids like nightime temps 10 degrees lower than day and they like to have a breeze on them. At home and at work, I keep a ceiling fan going most of the time. Here are a couple photos of one that I purchased recently. All the rest of mine are smaller ones.

Close-up view of the flowers:

I have also had good luck reblooming the thinner leaf variety like Sher's bottom photo ( couldn't even tell you the name, but they have purple flowers). I have the brownest thumb in the world. My cleaning lady waters them for me once a week and I don't give them any fertilizer or do anything else. For some reason I am rewarded every 6 months or so with beautiful flowers.

 

[dr.jaimie]

the ones i bought are cattleyas...they are supposed to be one of the easiest to grow. but they have the broad foilage. they require the least watering, and are both supposed to be fragrant too. ive been cheatin on SM and visiting an orchid forum to prepare myself for their arrival. my mother also has 3 different varieties at her home and has givin me some tips too.
