When I had only Maddie, I used to take her everywhere with me in her carrier. She was normally very good, but once when we were in line at Target, she barked. Everyone was looking around asking where the dog was. Once in Walmart, she barked when we saw someone we knew....a clerk came up and told me to keep her concealed or she'd have to ask me to leave. I did have her concealed and all was fine.
Once I got Libby, it was hard to take them both with me while shopping so I normally left them at home. Then Faith came along and they stayed home together. Recently, I decided I'd start taking turns...taking one and leaving 2 at home. The other day, I took Faith and walked into Menards just holding her in my arms. It was the garden center, so not even the main part of the store, but once inside, the cashier informed me that I could not come in with the dog. I was surprised because I'd had Maddie and Libby in there many times in the main part of the store and never once been asked to leave. I don't know if they've changed their policy or if it was just the cashier. Next time I take on there, I'll have them in the carrier. |
