I'm afraid I will have to be the voice of dissent on this topic.
As far as anywhere I go outside or to friends or relatives homes, sure........But I don't believe any animal belongs in a bank, mall, Walmart, or grocery store. If I go on short trips to any of the above, Gracie stays in her carrier in the car. Then we go for a walk in the park or wooded area for her to sniff the EARTH.
I would never take her to a salon..........all those chemicals????????NO WAY.
Guess I'm just funny about some things................
I'm not much on pet purses either........I know I will get a many a raised eyebrow....but I don't think they are safe.
Oh well, let me have it......................
