I take mine pretty much everywhere. And most of the time I either have 2 or 3 with me. I use my stroller and when I think I might be pushing the line, I put a big baby blanket on top and everyone thinks I have kids sleeping. I know that CA law says that animals cannot be within 20 ft. of areas where food is stored or served. So grocery stores and stores like Target & Walmart that also serve/sell food I don't even bother. I have been to many other stores though.. It's basically a call on the stores part not the law. And though I haven't had to use the arguement, I am ready to say that I have dog hair on my clothes, what's the difference?
I also like to keep up with dog friendly places and often look up areas I am visiting on
www.dogfriendly.com.
My motto is "It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission". But most of the time eveyone thinks the dogs are so cute, they just don't care about rules.
Here is a pic of my stroller for 3 dogs:
