Default Takin' the Pooch along

So anybody on here have pictures of pet carriers? I'm looking to take our yorkie russell on the road with us and I've been looking at several carriers. I want something sturdy and well built. I've also been looking at mutt muffs. My bike has true duals and I figure that since the wife and I wear hearing protection, then it'd probably not be a bad idea to hook Maggie up with some too.

What's everyone else do?

Might also look into some type of eye protection for the pooch depending upon where you end up mounting the carrier. I've seen pictures of where they mounted / fabricated one that fit into a saddlebag for the family friend. Can't find it now but it's been a long while.

Thought about that for my puppy (80#'s plus expecting another 80#) but it was going to take a sidecar to haul a Newfie around....LOL

I saw a guy last summer with a trailer on his bike that had his dog in it. It was a 50+ pounder dog. He looked content and got some crazy looks to boot.

I've been looking for a carrier too, the T-Bag one looks best to me. It's also the cheapest but I got to go back to work so I can get it. Have to take the mini rat terrier with us this summer.
