I work at a hotel in Vegas (go figure). A couple years ago, around Xmas, people from Calif had their little 6 year old Princess in their car, in the parking garage, while they were in the hotel. Someone broke in & got their little baby. How sad for the doggie to be ripped off.
Before that, I only went to places that I could park right in front & keep my eye on the car. After it happened I ran out & got a doggie purse bag to keep Lucy in when we went places. She came in with me!! Recently I bought a dog stroller for our trip to Calif. She came into IHOP with us & everything. Now, with the 2 girls, I'll have to find something bigger.
