I've taken my baby everywhere with me since I got him 4 months ago... truth is I don't give a rat's butt who thinks what about it ... I've had so many positive experiences ... Nobody seems to mind him at all .. even in stores like the grocery where I sneak him in the bag ... the manager knows me and sorta winks and smiles at me ...I had him in the stroller once at Trader Joe's it took them 45 minutes in the store to realize it was a dog lol .. they told me very nicely that dogs were not allowed .. again the manager winks and smiles and asks me to make my way to the check out and to "take my time leaving"
All of my regular neighborhood haunts love having him and make a fuss over him ...
