Fashion For A Hike

The weather lately has been delightful.
Took advantage of it by going for a Golden Hike.
It was also a great Golden Opportunity to 
wear my recent prize from Roxy The Traveling Blog.
What do you think?
It is a doggie backpack made by Aussie Backpack.
It is a wonderful backpack great for hikes or long walks. It is made of 100% cotton canvas. It’s breathable cotton mesh across the top, lets air in and does not make me hot. There’s a D ring on top where you can attach your leash and also serve as a harness. The two storage zipped pockets on the sides are spacious and enough for you to bring important necessary stuffs for your hike/walk.

As a whole, the Aussie Backpack is made well with a few things that could make it better. First, the D ring that is used for attaching a leash is plastic. Secondly, there seems to be lots of straps and they are too long. We had to cut it out so it will not drag on the ground. 
Lastly with its name, you would think it is made in Australia.
It is not. It is made in India.

I was comfortable wearing the backpack on our hike. I just had to rest.
I was not sure if the hike made me tried or the photo shoot.
All in all I had a PAWSOME Golden Hike.
Golden Thanks Roxy, it was a fabulous prize to win in your giveaway.

Lots of Golden Woofs

    That is a very cool back pack. Did you carry along some treats for when you took a break along the way?

    Looks like a wonderful idea to me. Wonder if they make small ones that would fit me??? Puppy kisses, Miss Mindy

    Very nice, Sugar! Thanks for the heads up on the backpack. Our weather is still too hot to do much with the boys, without embarking on a four hour trip to go north. We want to go hiking with our boys this winter!

    Sam

    P.S. Mom made us some of your Cheesy Bone treats, and has since made a few other varieties by changing the recipe. Thanks so much! They are so very tasty!

    I think you look very grrrreat in your Vest. I like the idea that they gave you LONG straps… better to have cut off some than to have had them TOO Short to work.
    I would not like the plastic D ring either, though. Better safe than SORRY.

  7. ♥I am Holly♥ says:

    Sugar, you look gorgeous in your hiking gear!! With you smile and good looks, you really should be a model!! Lots of love, Debbie & Holly

  8. Moose says:

    Sorry I missed your B-Day Sugar! I will be 10 pretty soon too. Looks like you had an awesome adventure!

  9. Maggie and Mitch says:

    What a beautiful backpack, Sugar! It looks like there is plenty of room for treats while you're hiking!

    Love ya lots

  10. Karen and Gerard says:

    Glad you had a great golden hike! Our dog loves walking too, but don't think she would want to wear a backpack since she doesn't like wearing her winter jacket all that much. It looks like you could fit lots of treats in it though, maybe even a water bottle?

  11. Bailey Be Good! says:

    What a great backpack! Hmmm, I could carry some toys and some cookies in there… ;)

    Woofs & hugs <3,

    Enjoy!

  36. Bailey says:

    What a great prize. Now they have you carrying stuff though. We have to think about letting Mom know about this dog carrying stuff.

  37. sagechronicles says:

    That's a very pawsome pack, Sugar. Mom's thought about one for me, but I don't like that kind of stuff. Maybe when I get older. (Yeah, sure. That's what she thinks)

  38. Peggy Frezon says:

    Cool backpack. I don't know if Kelly would put up with carrying one or not. She prefers that I serve as her pack mule! Hugs to Sugar!

  39. Madi and Mom says:

    MOL Sugar girls need easy and convenient purses and this seems to be perfect!!
    Big kitty hug,
    Madi

  42. sprinkles says:

    Congrats on your prize, Sugar!

    That backpack looks like it would hold LOTS of treats for your hikes.

  43. Carol's Critter Corner says:

    Sugar, you look fab in your new prize. It looks comfy and wouldn't mind having one for myself. It looks handy with a lot of compartments. Have fun with it.
