We live in a small town with only a few boring stores so my point of going on a holiday IS to go shopping!
Thinking about going to a real mall and having my pups outside wouldn't work for me - do most larger cities have doggy day care and do you trust them?? I guess I could look into boarding them but that's so expensive and I'd miss having them around. I know - I want it all!!
It's too bad that North America isn't more like Europe where animals are more acceptable - sigh....
