I take Dior everywhere except restaurants. She goes to the mall and the bank weekly. We have been turned away from target and walmart once but that hasn't stopped us.
I had a black carrier for her and no 1 ever suspected. Then i got a Juicy carrier and every 1 wants to see in the bag. Places they are allowed.. Petsmart, Petco, Care a lot, Dog boutiques, Doggy park. I would love to live in Europe where they are allowed everywhere.
