Austin with Koko - Backpack Poodle

I named this series "Austin with Koko" but, oddly, did not capture any blogworthy images of her while she was with us.  It was a trip back in April of 2021 just to see how she'd do on a long car ride with a stay in an unfamiliar place.  Turns out she did very well in both aspects, though obviously disapproved of anyone else being at our rest stop along the way.

I did get a shot of this doggy, however, unable to resist swinging the Bigger Cahoona up for a quick one.  What an awesome way to carry your pooch around.  Reminded me a little of my brother-in-law in Taipei, who carries around his chihuahua wherever he goes (except possibly work, because he's a policeman).  His dog is so small that he totes him around in a fanny pack, modified with mesh so he can breathe and look out at the world.  The casual observer would not even know that he has a dog in tow.  Don't mess with it, though - being a chihuahua, he'll snap your fingers off if you reach into his cubbyhole for a pet.
