I don't particularly really like carrying mine around, it makes me a bit self conscious actually, haha. I mean, I have a small chihuahua and I've tried to take her on hikes and stuff, and she usually doesn't last too long before she starts pulling against the leash and kind of refusing to walk, I assume she gets tired because she generally loves to walk around outside, but only to a point. So I'll end up carrying her around and it makes me feel like Paris Hilton or something when you're carrying around a little chihuahua. People love to make the joke about carrying her in a purse... it's not the mostly manly look for a guy. But hey, whatever, I know my dog isn't a pampered little brat, she's just small and gets tired. At least I'm not that person on the trail that has to fight and use all of their strength to hold their giant dog back from jumping all over you when you walk past!
