Hmm...do we have a show your pet thread?

This may be a bit cheesy for you, but if it were me- I would take a bike rack ($60 at Walmart, $25 on craigslist) and secure the bags to it. If I wanted something more aerodynamic and aesthetic, I would turn it into a boat tail like on my Insight. As long as the top can open the baggage can go in and out, and when it's empty the hatch can be opened no problem.
Nice animals! Yes, adoption is the only way for us. I would never pay for a dog. I do like pure breds, but I prefer mutts. They seem to be healthier.

I already have one of those strap on bike racks, so putting a container or bag on it might be an idea. Especially since the rack budget is slowly dying. I spent $175 on adopting the puppy, then needed to buy a shampooer/shampoo for $240, puppy food/toys/Nature's Miracle for $100, then Duke got sick with an ear infection, eye infection and the runs. His vet bill was $340.

The shampooer was on our list to buy, but after Duke had several accidents in the house, we really needed it.
