The only places Chester has ever been in to are pet stores. I would love to take him in to the store with me, but he won't tolerate being in a bag or tote. Eleven pounds also gets a little heavy to carry around after a while. He would squirm too much if I held him, and my tired arms wouldn't be able to take it! Plus Chester meets a lot of people he wants to bark at, and he whines a lot when he doesn't get his way.
I rarely see people with pets in stores around here-openly anyway. If they are in bags, I have never noticed.
