Chloe has a couple dog carrier/purses. I like ones that look like a purse with pockets so no one knows she is in there. They have mesh on both ends so she can see out. I do want a chromebones or petfly's carrier...more of a hard sided type as mine are all soft sided.
She is very good about going places . I try to take her to places I have asked if she can go so I don't feel stressed or on edge the whole time ...She is welcomed at our Home Depot/Lowes/Our Outdoor mall ( when it's warmer !) and several of the shops in there , and of course pet stores. High end shops seem to have less of a problem with pets , so sometimes I just go there so she can go out with me
I take her as often as I can , but I don't want to disturb others so I wouldn't take her to movies or very nice restaurants ...Though I HAVE seen dogs in the movies !!

But hey , they were quieter than the kids that were in there
