Yes, we did the same thing. Sad we have to hide the fact that we have these kids.
I used to love when people would just fall all over my girls and I'd stop and chat for a long while....now I have found myself telling my husband when we are out, keep an even closer eye on the girls if I'm chatting. We'd never get over it if someone stole one of them. What's sad is that my girls really love the attention from people, and it has always helped keep them well socialized.
A gal in another group told me she had her Yorkies in a stroller in Petsmart, and another lady actually hand her hands on the stroller handle bar and was attempting to walk away with it and her Yorkies.
We have a travel trailer and in one of our groups, a couple had parked their travel trailer right outside the window of a restaurant where they stopped to eat. In broad daylight, someone broke the glass in the window in the door, reached in, and unlocked the door, and robbed them. No one saw a thing.
Their cat escaped, and ran into the woods, but fortunately, she came out when they called her.
I told my husband, I want a security system installed in ours, even though we never leave the girls inside alone.
