She was entirely zipped in! I explained that it was a huge store and I would not take the stroller up the escalator anywhere near the restaurant and that we had driven 7 hours to come to this specific store! She was not sympathetic or friendly and said the only thing we could do was put the stroller behind their counter in the office where I could see her. I was sooooo upset I just wanted to go home! Well I found a Petco in the area and took her there while the rest of my family did Cabelas. I've been gunshy about taking her anywhere inside ever since. We live about an hour from the malls so it isn't worth the trip if I get asked to leave so I don't even try. It really is a bummer! |
I think we are just spoiled living in NYC because our babies are welcome most everywhere- I dont understand what the big deal is and think people need to relax if a dog is in a bag or stroller. I was at WalMart in New Jersey and they told me I had to leave- I told them I would never shop there again- lol- I couldn't help myself. If you live in NY ShortHills Mall in NJ is VERY dog friendly- the only place you can't take your babies is the restaurants- I'm sorry you had to go through that at Cabellas
