Good photos. Leah, this one with the dog held in place by a cargo net particularly caught my eye, because it reminds me of carrying 2 energetic (not to say neurotic) Shi Tzu in a milk crate bolted to a tandem rear carrier. I had lashed the dogs in place with shortened leashers, but the female, the neurotic one, panicked when we exceeded 8 mph and took a dive over the side, causing the bike and 4 occupants to go down. This almost crushed the female, dangling by neck, between crate and asphalt, but I managed to save her. A cargo net would have worked better.
