I don't take Snickers with my to any public place. Most dogs are not allowed in public places unless they are service dogs. I also do not use a purse or carry bag for him. I have three daughters under 7 years of age and always have a heavy purse of bag full of stuff so if I have Snickers he is on a leash I don't need to carry anything else in my hands
. Sometimes I take him to a pet store or pet food store, but not much anymore. There seems to be too many people there with large dogs and no control. I will take Snickers with me to my friends and family houses. I wish there was more places to take pets. I hate to leave my boys at home and have them watch my with those big sad eyes. But in most places they are not allowed or it is just not safe for them.
