Here in Germany they love dogs! You can take them into clothing stores, restaurants(about 90% of them will even give you a water bowl for them)...practically anywhere. I was taking my millie everywhere with em when I went out. Even when I shopped at the BX on base, I'd take her in her little bag (I wouldn't go to the commissary with her just because of it being a grocery store). Well when I took her with me to California in January, I was still taking her places with me. UNTIL I took her with me to Target. She was sitting happily in her bag that was sitting in the baby seat (she loves this) and I was approached by a store employee who told me that I had to take her outside of the store. I was mad, she wasn't barking or anything. I ended up just zipping up her bag and putting it in the bottom basket for the rest of the trip, but then I stopped taking her to the stores there. What I just loved is that I had taken her to Walmart with me a couple of times before that and the store employees would come up to me and want to pet her! No one there ever told me that I had to leave. NOW when I got home from my latest trip to California 2 weeks ago, my husband told me that the big BX we have here has stopped allowing people to bring in their pets. I was mad at this too. I almost can't take her anywhere now, unless I go off base.

SOO my question: where do you take your little one? has anyone ever said anything about them?
