I loved the idea so much I bought a crate that came with casters. I put the dog in the crate, bag on top of the crate, CRUNCH! Guess I needed to buy some separate casters with some extra beef to them! Really - the bag wasn't that heavy!

I had the experience that A.A. lines when coming home from the St. Louis Nationals was going to charge me 80.00 extra baggage to bring my crate dolly home, I had left the dog and crate with the Handler. When I got home my husband fixed one of my crates with Casters that snap on and off and a cloth bag that came with my crate with a zipper in it is perfect. I just snap the casters on when my dog is brought to me in the air port and snap them off when the dog is being checked in. put the casters into the bag. and no dolly is needed. I take a extra leash with me to snap on the crate to drag it around with me inside the air port. and lead my dog. Just a idea for all of you ? sure works for me . Oh and I bungee my baggage on the crate or put it inside the crate. Emilie C.Woodruff Windvane Kennels 5877 Gardi Road Kamloops,B.C.
