| Mall in Columbia SC Well, I thought I would let u guys know NOT to take your dogs to the Mall in Columbia, SC. We were on vacation passing through. We stopped at the Mall and I put my girls in their bags. Their heads do stick out, but that was all. So, as I am walking through the Mall a Security guard comes up to me and tells me I have to leave. So, I say no problem. I am walking to leave and I look back and he is about 5 steps behind me. I say are you goin to walk me out? He says yes. I say I know the way and I promise I am leaving. The rest of the gang was shopping so I was goin to the car. I get outside and it is so hot. So I turn the car on and take the girls to the grass and give them water and wait for them to pee. Another Security guard comes up and says you have to leave. I say what? I am just waiting on my car to cool off. He says no dogs allow on property. I want you to keep I mind that these are 2 4.5 lbs dogs. So just for your info do not stop at the Columbia Mall when passing through.

| Wow, no southern hospitality at the mall in SC! That is terrible to escort you out and then ask you to leave the parking lot! Won't be shopping there!

| Wow! Sorry you had to experience that...do you know which Mall it was? If you need to stop by a mall again in SC, I would stop at the Village of Sandhills. It's a great mall, although outdoors. It has a nice waterfall and plenty of room for dog walks. |

| It was the Mall right off of interstate 26. We were just stopping to get out of the car. I can understand them not wanting them in the Mall. But not even on the property? I have never had that happen before. The workers in the stores loved the girls. One store even asked if they needed some water. I thought that was cool. But, that was before we got the boot. We will have to check the other one out, next time we are through there.

| I think I would call the Mall Office and speak with the Mall Manager. I understand asking you to leave (have been asked to leave a few places myself with Sophie Kate), but to follow you out and to tell you not to walk your dogs seems very unfriendly.

| I'm planning on calling just been so busy. This was two different security guards. One in the Mall and then one that was driving around parking lot.

| sounds like a security guard on a powertrip! You can't have your dog outside? holy smokes! I understand that not everyone cleans up after their dogs (which is completely wrong in my book!). But isn't it better to step back and watch and then fine the bajeebies out of someone who leaves a nasty on the ground? Sigh...

| BTW, which mall was it? Happy to also give them a ring to tell them that we were disappointed to hear about their "kindness to visitors!" Shopping in Columbia, SC
