Some to local stores that know us personally and are pet friendly stores. Some of us when we go to places that we know do not allow dogs, don't take them.

As for why ppl would pick a dog and not adopt a child if they could not have children, some of us have diseases that are very serious. We have managed to survive them, have some semblance (sp) of a lifespan and life; however, child adoption agencies are not going to give us children to raise. Some of us must come to the acceptance that these are the cards we have been dealt and get a small dog to fill that void, as best can be w an animal.

I really think this thread is descending into something that is really quite ugly. I don't think it needs to be this heated or personal over someone venting bc she thought the clerk was not very polite when asking her to leave a store she usually frequents w her pet. I don't know if the clerk meant to be rude - I am not her nor was I there. Hopefully, if the OP knew her dog was not allowed she would not have taken her in there.

Yes I agree.
