Suitcase dog.

Oma needs a little siren and flashing light now. This is the coolest thing you can ever buy for your dog, the Ruffwear Palisades pack. They also make a very cool pack called the Aproach that is much cheaper, but the Palisades has some nice extra features, two camel back style water bladders, a nice tensioning system, heavier overall construction, and most importantly the bags detach from the harness.

For now I just have the bags packed with all the hiking junk I never bring with me. Once she is more used to it I'll start filling the water bladders. Oma should be able to carry more than ten pounds around with little effort. When I start running Pack Monadnock again she will be carrying all the gear. For now I just use it on her daily walks to wear her out quicker.


Ready to go!








Just the harness. I like how the reflective material gives her a Tron effect.
