I don't take Trixie everywhere with me mainly because she doesn't really seem to like riding in cars all that much. Actually, she pukes if it's for more than 15 minutes or so. She is OK if she is in my lap, but IMO, it is dangerous to drive with a wiggly doggy in your lap. At least for me, not speaking for everyone I guess. Secondly, when I leave my house, I try to get everything done in one trip...most of the time, there is at least one place (Wal-Mart usually) that has a 'no pets' policy. I have no desire to try to sneak her in, rules are rules, even if I don't agree with them. There are alot of people that are deathly afraid of dogs (I can't imagine why, but my grandmother is afraid of cats, so...) I can't imagine what it would be like to not be able to go to Wal-Mart becuase there were people in there with dogs...if I was afraid of them, that is. |
