I remember when Mojo was first brought home, I took him into a gas staton and everyone loved him (no sign posted). That week, I tried to take him into Wal-Mart (without a carry and there was no sign posted) and we would told that we couldn't bring him in (he was so small too).

I get embarassed and mad when I'm confronted like that though! So, I normally think pretty hard before I take him in some place. We have tons of different pet bags, put sometimes he just doesn't want to be in there....he likes to be around all the people.

We took him inside a small country gas station, just to pay for gas and was told that he was no allowed in there (course, he was in my arms the whole time and there was no food by the door where the cash register was). I told that lady that he was cleaner then anything in that store including her! But that was just her being a crab because Mojo has been in there several times when others are working.

My bank loves to see him come in...if he is not with us, they ask where he is. I took him to Eureka Springs (a small shopping town) and he went into every store with us. We asked at a local eatery if we could eat there and the owner said sure we were welcome there (we sat outside on the patio and he stayed in my lap the whole time). We even took him into a candy (chocolate) shop. The only place there that did not allow him was a taffy store (no sign posted), we were getting ready to buy some taffy (so we had been in the store for awhile) when they realized he was a puppy (I guess), so we just left and said that we would buy some taffy from the other store...and we did!

I agree...if there is no sign posted, how do you know, so it is a chance. I sort of agree that they shouldn't go everywhere (even though that just kills me to say that because I am with my little guy 24/7), but I know friends that own resturants and they can get fined heavily (the chances of that happening or slim, but there is always that chance and I would hate to be the cause of it) and I know of several people that have fear of dogs (small too....which I think is funny) and people that are allergic (even though Yorkies are said to be good for this).

I personally would rather be in the company of dogs than most people I have met! I would definitely rather stay in a hotel room with a dog than a smoking room! I wish the towns around here were more "dog friendly"!!!
