When transporting Annie to the vet I normally pick her up under her two front legs and drop her, hind first, into the carrier, which is upended with the opening facing skyward. I now have a carrier that opens from the top as well and would like to try this method when I take Annie to the vet in a few days. How should I carry her when putting her into the carrier (which has only a short drop) so that it isn't easy for her to spring right out again before I get the lid down? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
