Ummm.... I may not be the best person to give advice on this one: last week Sophie and I got kicked out of Target!
I have taken her into Target in my purse for months with no problem. In fact, the cashiers always go ga-ga over her when she peeks her head out at the check-out lane. But last week an overly uptight store manager (young and heady with retail mgmt. power, lol) accosted us in the store and ESCORTED US OUT of the store because no pets are allowed. Lol, talk about being embarrassed! (He was actually quite an a$$ about it.) But has that stopped me from taking Sophie places? No! We just keep our eyes out for overly zealous managers. ;-)
