Twenty-one of you entered to win this RUNNUR cross-body pack, and you gladdened my heart, because all of you carry as much gear as I do when I walk Chloe — and many of you carry even more (including wonderful Janina, who includes a first aid kit and a mini survival book when she goes running or hiking with her Dachshund). Your ideas, as always, are great, and I encourage you all to read through the comments on the giveaway post to see what your colleagues are trying out.

The randomly-chosen winner is Janet, entrant #3, who says she’s “usually overloaded with stuff. I’m carrying my keys, wallet, phone, poop bags, a water bottle, a ball or other toy to play with if we’re going to the dog park, treats; and, of course, if we’re at the dog park I’m carrying the leash. Also, if I’m leaving the apartment complex, my husband makes me carry my 9mm.”

Congratulations, Janet and pup! I’m thinking the gusseted inner pocket will be the best choice for a bulky object like a handgun (and I’m also sincerely hoping it’s the joke I think it is!). Please e-mail me your shipping address, and I’ll get your new RUNNUR personal pack to you. Thank you again to everyone who posted a comment, and to RUNNUR for sending me the pack to review and give away.
