How sweet!! I had a chihuahua puppy that I did that with. Had a two sided purse and kept her on one side and my stuff on the other. She had to be fed every 2 hours so I couldn't ever get back on time. So why chance it? I just took her with me. She bonded very closely with me. She has even been to dinner at Applebees in my purse!! Funny thing though, now that she is older and healthier she doesn't like to travel at all. Makes her nervous.
