Most stores do not let you in if they sell food! Target claims that pets are not allowed because of their "restauraunt". Malls aren't much better either. If you have a well trained puppy that will
hide in a bag then you can sneak her in. I've done this @ Walmart, malls, and Home Depot. I don't like leaving my babies in the car either. Hiding your dog works only if you have ONE dog! Two don't work at all.
Dogs are also NOT allowed @ Coulon Park in Renton, WA. Found this one out the hard way...
I don't go to that park any more. I also think that my dogs are way cleaner than most people...especially kids!
