i need to accept that i am the person carrying the dog in the purse dressed up like a preppy little man. i'm getting a stroller. i wish america was more like france where you can bring your dog everywhere without discrimination. in france, they can go to restaurants , public transit, etc. everything here is so over regulated. i will push my little dog in a polo shirt through the mall! look out america i'm getting a stroller and i'm going to use it! lol.
