At the whole foods near my house, I have seen yorkies openly carried in a little dog carrier, the kind you wear. There appeared to be no issues, but I did not ask...
Just this last weekend, my GF wanted to go to an outlet mall in Leesburg VA, after the NOVA Yorkie meet-up and I was sure she was asking for trouble. It is a plaza style mall with lots of storefronts with shady overhangs. We had the only dogs in site, and I was getting an increasing feeling of dread. But amazingly enough, we passed a maintenance worker who said nothing about the Yorkies. And so we took our chances and walked right into Restoration Hardware each carrying a Yorkie. SO far so good, but I was waiting for the inevitable. When a worker approached I was so sure we were doomed, I was all set to surrender to this stupid convention; but no need, he only wanted to know if I needed some help!
So another small victory for responsible people and their pets. Have to say though, I really felt self-conscious with Mr. Gatsby sitting (he likes to sit, not lay down) on my forearm walking around that place. All of the families in there and me and the GF each with a Yorkie on the forearm... Almost makes me want to get a stroller
