[MyFairLacy]

I take Lacy almost everywhere with me including work everyday, the mall, most stores, and even to the tanning salon (she's in her carrier so she doesn't get exposed to the light). I've never taken her into a grocery store and hardly ever into restaurants. She went into McAlisters once in her carrier and we've sat on the patio of On The Border several times. I wish we could carry our little dogs with us everywhere as well. So far as grocery stores - have you seen some of the nasty people that walk around and grubby kids?? I've seen a couple men before that look like they have been working outside in the hot sun all day, dirt all over them, nasty clothes, body odor to kill..look like they haven't had a bath in a week. I would absolutely much rather have someone's dog around my food than someone like that. I do take my dog in anywhere that doesn't have food for sell...if they ask me to leave I will and I probably won't go back to shop there. I used to take her into Target with me until they stopped it because they sell some food...now I don't go to Target nearly as often...I have snuck her in in her carrier before though. Walmart also doesn't' allow dogs - I don't ever go to Walmart because I hate walmart - not because they allow dogs but for quite a few other reasons. I'd much rather go to Target than Walmart, but I always try to stick to places that let me take my baby in with me. I've only been asked to leave a mall once (the one in my parent's small town that sucks..most big city malls are fine with small dogs) and Target once when they stopped allowing dogs in my town. Other than that, in our 2 1/2 years together, we haven't had any problems going anywhere.
