Because when I am shopping it's often on my way home from work (where kizzie also goes) It doesn't make sense to take her home then drive all the way back out to go do some quick shopping when she can sit in my purse nicely and not bother anyone.
So far the only place that has asked me to leave is Jo-anns, however, the girl at the cut counter said to leave, the person at the register and the one at the door said it was ok because she was in my purse and not on the floor.. Same store, same visit..
Kizzie has been in the grocery store with me even, most people comment on how cute she is if they even notice her, but because she's in my purse they don't have a problem. The guy at the meat counter even offered her a little treat since she was being so good in my purse.
If she isn't allowed in the store, I just wont shop there anymore.. it's not that difficult, it's their choice to not allow dogs in purses, however it's also their loss as i will find somewhere else to shop and spend my money.. There are lots of places to go..
Kizzie is a part of my family and I feel leaving her home for hours at a time is cruel when I can just take her with me. |
The problem is that you can't take them everywhere with you. There are rules, if you have a small dog who doesn't touch the floor or a big dog who does. No dogs means... NO dogs.
I leave my dogs home when I shop. Does that make me a bad yorkie owner??? They get to come with me when I go to Petco but that is it. My dogs are my babies and they are very much part of my family, but it's ridiculous to think that they can go everywhere a human can go. They are dogs, not people..not children...
People need to have some respect for other people, and for employees who are just trying to earn a buck, and trying to enforce the rules. They really don't need a snotty response. Just say your sorry that you didn't know. Now you do know, so leave the dog home, or go to the store when the dog isn't with you.
