| Anyone ever have problems with bringing you Yorkie with you anywhere? I recently decided to take Patrón to Biology lecture (Only 30 students) and he just sat inside my large messenger bag all class and chewed on his bully stick. He did finally get noticed (I do sit in the front row also) after my professor saw my bag have pointy ears popping out at the end of class. Does anyone ever have problems taking their Yorkie out anywhere? Walmart? Malls? I mean we all know we would love to take them everywhere like a child but what is the limits. Sorry if this seems to be an idiotic thing to be asking but I am curious. Thanks! |

| I took her into Party City and was asked to take her out (and not very nicely). Other than that, we took her into Office Max and had no problem, and we take her to Petsmart. I don't feel like dealing with hassles, so I usually don't try to bring her too many places with me.

| Anyplace that serves or sells food items - it's against federal law to take them in. Therefore, you could get kicked out. Also, some places that don't serve or sell food have posted on their door that dogs are not allowed. Most places are not a problem though. I think it's nice you took your pup to class. There was someone else here that used to take theirs in a bag to class, too.

| I think it depends on who you are dealing with. I have taken mine to Academy, Atwoods, Movie rental places, my hair salon, etc. I have never been told to take her out but I do not take her where food is sold. However, if they did not have a sign posted and they did not sell food, if they asked me rudely to leave I am not sure I would ever go back. That is just how I am. My mom always said two things 1) You attract more flies with honey than vinegar 2) Treat others how you would want to be treated. I found out when I got older that my mom is a pretty smart woman.

| I try not to take Lucky out as much only to usually the petstores....I just want to avoid my giving a "what do you mean, he can't come in? Look how sweet and clean he is" look to the person telling me to leave! lol I take it personally when they say 'it's a dog'....it's not a dog....he's my furbaby!! and I know I'm not the only one that gets offended when they are told that!! So, I just keep Lucky's shopping for when he can come to the petstore with me.....

Oh my!! you take your baby to class with you? I have never tried it I think it would be very frowned upon. Did your professor say anything? I know my professors would notice our class sizes are only around 10! But i have been kicked out of target, and wlamart as well

| In CA you can not bring a dog into a hair salon. We own a salon and we never ask anyone to take their dog out. Actually, we have dog treats for them. I have been asked to leave Home Depot. I still take her in - it just depends on the person working at the time. Sometimes they are just jerks. I took Gina into Sports Authority and some dumb women (shopper) said really loudly, "There's a dog in here!" It was like, "yeah, so what!" Cherie

| Couver and Khloe go everywhere with me. I try not to take them to places where food is served, but occasionally they do go hidden in their bag. They both ride together in one of their Kwigy Bo Alex bags. They have been to every store in our city, and I have taken them to class with me before. The only place I have had issues with is Costco... I had Couver and just wanted to grab something really quickly, but they noticed my large bag and asked me to leave. I say just buy a nice bag, and try to only go to places that don't serve food

| haha! I'm with everyone else on that one. I take Kaji with me everywhere I possibly can. I think it sucks for him to be cooped up at home all the time. He so patiently waits for me to get home from work Mon to Fri, so the weekend I try to plan places where he can go. I take him everywhere, especially places that don't sell food. I usually go to pet feed stores, petsmarts, old navy, and ross since he can walk right in and it's never an issue.

| Kaji goes with me when I go get my hair cut. They never said anything and I don't sneak him in. I'd like to know that too.

Wow that is a strange law. But there are many places with strange laws. Mine goes with me and sits in my lap the entire time. My hair dresser loves her. I am glad she gets to go. It is just another place I can show her off.
