Tote Bag Mania
 But I ordered a tote bag today and had to share my excitement with somebody. 
I have been wanting a tote bag to cart around Harry's stuff for some time now. I have used a few I have around the house but I kind of wanted one that was just for him and I could leave packed. So last night I google "dog breed tote bags" and found my dream tote. It is an organizer tote with six pockets around the outside and a zipper. The only thing I was not crazy about was the monongram available of the sheepdog - but after a nights sleep I decided that the compartments and size (20"w x 14"h x 6"d) and the zipper were ideal. I drag all kinds of paraphanalia to the dog park, Dog Scouts and agility school - not to mention to dog friendly events around town. So I can hardly wait. I already have the bag packed in my mind. I had it monogrammed to say Sheepie Stuff. It was supposed to say Sheepie Mommy like my screen name. But then I decided my husband and sons would look silly with a bag saying that and they have often offered to carry Harry's bag of junk. (I am not complaining about the help). Here is a link of my find: http://www2.llbean.com/product/46058.htm Thanks for listening to my gushing over a tote bag! I figured only you guys would be nice enough not to think I am nuts! |

I share your mania!!  I like tote bags, too and have no idea why.
That one's really cool!! I really like LL Beane stuff, too. It lasts forever. All my niece and nephews book bags have come from there and they do their best to beat them up so they can get new ones.  But the darn things just won't wear out. 
Congrats on your "find"!! 
This is the one I have for all the dog stuff. Mine is blue. http://www.petguys.com/-700603005820.html |
| Judi, I LOVE it!!! I have one for Panda...and I call it Pandas diaper bag I dont keep it loaded all the time but pack it up as needed...food and water bowls, cookies, toys, leash, brush, etc.....
when we go any where, it goes too...so I guess im in your club...I want to see the finished monogramed product though once you receive it....... |
| Looks great |

This is Izzie's bag. Light blue and off white. No monogram. I just really wanted something with a zip-top so if it got knocked over everything wouldn't fall out  We keep it mostly packed...poop bags, water bowl, etc... |
| I had one like that, too, Amanda. I really liked it too. It held up well. I think I gave it to my SIL. I was the tote bag queen for the longest time. Then, I went on a cleaning spree and gave most of them away. |
| I love the bags! I have totes for ours too.
I bought a blank canvas bag at hobbby Lobby for my "Simon bag". I made a stencil out of vellum and put the basset sillouette in the center. I painted it with acrlyc paints. then I added all around the edge all the stuff he does - Basset Buddies Rescue, AKC- CGC, Therapy Dogs Int., Rally RN and RA. On the inside I stitched a panel of fabric and made different sized pockets. I keep it permanently loaded. It has a water jug, dish, a copy of his health records, snacks for both of us, chapstick, hand sanitizer, extra lead and collar, his bandanas, his personalized caps (for TDI visits) and other stuff. LeAnne made one for Chewie too. She is more talented - she made a full color painted OES on the front - it is beautiful! |
| SheepieMommy, my mil bought me the same one. |
| Great ideas! My Mom tells me the pups need their own tote bag as I use whatever black tote I find in my closet. She said she used to have this really ugly brown tote she used for our first sheepdog, Ahlus. Whenever she pulled it out, he knew he was going to Grandma's.
Dawn, do you have a picture of your bags? Any interest in you or Leanne making me one? |
I love the idea, and it looks like a really nice bag... but for some reason it won't let me see the OES one  |
| No pictures - yet!
I'll try and work on that. 
We might be interested in making some. It was a lot of fun to do. |
| Great idea think I will do the same and put my avatar pic on it and maybe I'll paint one of Dutch also to go along with it just so she doesn't feel left out

| Stacey,
Try this link and then select the dog breed choice on the right: http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores ... at=5236-tn As I said, I am not crazy about the OES embroidery as much as the bag. But I wanted it to be personalized. |
Yeah I did that before, the first page is fine, I can see the bag with a golden on it i think, but when I click on the dog breeds section all I get is red x's... my stupid net connection is too sporadic lately.  |
| Hi
I too share your love of totes 
It's amazing how much stuff a person needs for 3 pooches 
I've had this sheepie-to-go tote for over a year & feel much more organized. No more poochie stuff rolling around in the back seat. Here is the pix of my ll bean tote...love the pockets & the zip top that keeps noses out! Diane...highly recommend it  |
| wow, I really like that design! I too am a tote-bag fanatic.
We travel quite a bit with our dogs, and it occurred to me this last summer, that there was something odd about the fact that my dogs now have nearly as much luggage as I do! |
| We went from Baby tote bags to sheepie ones
They really come in handy with all the sheepie kids stuff. |
| That's fantastic! I love it. What a great idea. |
