Duncan loves his new basket

Chiweenie Duncan is 12lbs. 19 inches long back (6 inch legs; a chiweenie is a chihuahua dachshund cross). He jumped in immediately after assembly. It had been previously and improperly assembled i could tell by marked support bar and others but it was clean and Duncan didn't seem to notice any smells. I bought it to use for when I go back to the office he will sit in it under my desk. And to encourage him loving it he gets special treats in it.With his length I would NOT force him to stay in the seated position for a long time, but put it in the bed/down position for any extended stay, but it's the best we could do, I didn't find any other rolling thing that would have been larger yet also Airline approved. Not that I have plans but you never know.So I keep it in my car front seat and as you see he has figured out how to perch atop it and get a good view. I am not sure the netting would hold up well to his full weight, so I keep the front mesh wrapped up to keep it from getting torn. He really leaps all over it.I'm taking it really slow, we have only wheeled once so far in the safety of the kitchen while he licked peanut butter off a wooden spoon (to ensure he associated the movement with good things). I don't see any problems at all with this item. It can hold his 12lbs and a small handful of toys and so forth.I've leashed him to it once while I was at a jobsite but he can tow it around so it won't actually hold him, it's not heavy but it seems strong enough, he has lain on all sides, flung himself around in it, he has clawed the heck out of the fleece insert and it shows no sign of damage; he likes to dig furiously for a solid minute and then take a snooze.He loves this thing so much. I was apprehensive since he refused to get into a cave bed i got him, but that the "ceiling" can be left open made a huge difference.It's a great priced well made item. I'm so glad I got it.
