[SophieKatesMom]

SophieKate has been to many stores, Home Depot, Lowe's, Payless, Macy's, our local Mall, Ulta, PetSmart, PetCo, Ikea, Best Buys and the list goes on.

On the weekends when we have errands we usually will take her with us as long as we are NOT going to a food store or a restaurant.

Last week I took her with me to the Apple Store while I was taking a class, they were fine with her being there.

One thing we do is if we have a question on if she can be in there we will ask prior to taking her. Good example was Ikea, we were not sure so on a previous visit we asked.

SophieKate also goes to Farmer Markets, Flea Markets and Antique Malls.

I very rarely will let her walk around a store, she is either standing in the cart or, we have sling bag she will be in it with her head out. I feel she is safer up off the ground and away from feet or little kids who are tempted to pick her up and, I always have her close by in case I need to grab her.

SophieKate's favorite place in the world is Lowe's, she loves that store and the people who work there. We were remodeling in December and she went to that store A LOT so now when we walk in they all know her name and call out to her. Kind of like Norm on Cheers
