We take Matise everywhere

. We hide him if we think there might be a problem. It is a lot easier to take him then leave him and upset him. We live in Miami. We always go to South Beach and Lincoln Road, we never use a carrier there, we go to the restaurants for dinner and brunch on sundays and shopping and no one ever says a thing to us, usually they are making such a huge fuss over Matise we can't walk more than a couple of feet at a time. We also take him to Bal Harbour mall, Aventura Mall (no carrier) they love him at Bloomie's and everyone loves him at all the stores we go to . The pembroke lakes mall is unfriendly and the security there are RUDE

so I don't even go to that mall anymore, they can just ask me nicely to leave they don't have to be rude

, I mean I was there to shop but obviously it is more important for them to allow the large groups of gang bangers to walk around and run around and be loud and rude and disruptive there but not the people who are actually there to shop. We went to Hollywood beach and the boardwalk area and the security patrols there are RUDE

as well. Sawgrass Mall is also un-dog-friendly but at least they are nice about it. I went Target and they told me to leave. I always take him to the grocery store in his carrier and no one is any the wiser that he's in there. I want to try and sneek him into the movies but I haven't worked up my nerve yet. I have taken him to Michael's craft store, Home Depot, Office Max, Best Buy, Circuit City, Office Depot, furniture shopping at all the area furniture stores, Pier One, TJ Max. I always try and take him with me everywhere. I mean I know that my Matise is clean and never makes a fuss he's always so good and quiet and just hangs out when we are out, it's just dumb that he can't go everywhere I go. I guess I am just extremely biased and always want him with me.
