I never really could find myself leaving him alone. He follows me to the bathroom and stares at me or lays down to wait lol if I shut him out he cries and howls this little sound that sounds like sneakers squeaking on a shiny floor.
So when I had to go outside I found myself taking him with me in my handbag, he really liked it right from the get go. From the very begining he was driving with me everywhere buckled in at the passenger's side and by my side in the bag when we get to a place where "dogs aren't aloud". He loves the car, he loves sticking his head out the bag when we are outside in an area it's not safe to put him down so that he can see all the new places.
I have to admit that I just can't leave him home, he has gone to all kinds of stores from Target to Wendy's. It gets worse tho, this is were everyone will think I am the nuttiest of the nutty, my husband has taken us out to eat in fancy restaurants and guess who happily comes along!! No one knows that my little Kiko is with us lol. My hand bag is like a juicy bag with lots of room and open mesh breathing holes, It just looks so much like a regular handbag and no one knows he's there. He is so active all day that when it's time to sit at a place to eat he just conks right out! He has been to places you wouldn't believe if I told you and he loves it!
I took him to this amusement theme park where dogs are partially allowed in the picnic and beach area and we had a blast, when it was time to go to the rides area guess who came along into the park snoozing in the bag after a long day of running in the picnic area and beach? LOL I even took him on the carousel ride it! He seems to love movement. I was wondering the whole time how many other pooches had ever been on a carousel ride? Now that's only happened once, it's not a regular event but you get the idea of how hard it is to leave him behind.
The cutest thing is when I get the bag out and put it on the ground he jumps right in and settles down looking at me like "ok I'm ready to go where ever we are off to!" So my separation anxiety is super bad lol. OK and to top it all off, even though I take a bath every day, most every other day after I take a shower I grab all 2 pounds of him and I have his shampoo right next to mine he gets a bath right after me and we are ready to go.
Now to be honest I don't go out everyday to shopping areas and such. I work from home so for the most part he has a regular doggie life but when it's time for mommy to go out you better believe he is like you are NOT leaving without me mom! We love being with each other.
