We told one store we'd just go someplace else and walked out with all of their customers watching because the manager wouldn't allow them...all dressed up in cute little outfits and bows...according to the girl at the desk. The ironic thing was that we were going there to buy stuff to make more stuff for the babies they wouldn't allow in the store!
But there is a similar local company that does allow them, so guess where we went to buy our stuff? Oh well.
We never allow the babies to be on the floor...even at the pet stores...where they can eat anything or get ick (cleaning solvents, etc.) on their feet they might lick off, or things jabbed into their little paws.
We take them to quite a few places, and are compiling our own little list of places they can go...besides pet stores, I mean. Of course, we also take them any time it's a car ride...like the P.O., or drive thru's or take out food. Most of the time, even if they cannot go in, one of us just stays with them, unless it's a short time in the store and we have additional places to go.
Searching online for dog friendly places gets almost nothing but dog parks and drive-thru fast-food restaurants, like Sonic Drive-In...so that's no help...and while there will be 3 'hits' usually 2 of the 'hits' with be duplicate entries.
I am hoping that we can find more places to take the babies...they love it so much, and it is so good for them to be out and about...and they are so good.
I understand not taking animals into places where food is served or sold, but my babies are cleaner and neater than a lot of the human patrons, and while I understand the need for service animals, if service animals are allowed, it seems odd to disallow other animals, especially the carry-on kind. Or maybe that's just me...
