I actually got a doggie stroller and put both in, I find it easier and I have the bottom to put purchases in. What is the rule down the states, I’ve taken them into a mall with a food court but we are not need the food court and the guards who have nothing to do will ask us to leave, I’ll informed them that we are not near the court and they are contained in the stroller, what’s the problem? I sure would like to find out what the rules are about dogs contained going into store and malls. In Vancouver BC they have a restaurant U take your dogs in and they have a table for them and a table for you. Europe no problem they go everywhere. If anyone from Canada might know what rules are sure would like to know. Wal-Mart up here will not allow dogs in is that the same in the states?
