Quote: Whats the big deal about a 3 lb. dog in a store? I see tons of people that are way dirtier, and make a whole lot more noise than my little princess would ever even consider. what about some of thoses naughty children that are screeming and running down the aisles, why don't they ask them to leave.

------------------------------------------------------------
None of the above has anything to do with the rule that "Dogs (including "your little princess) aren't allowed in the store."

And - I have seen children asked to leave a store.....but this is an entirely different issue. And, interestingly -- once I saw a family with three unruly screaming children asked to leave a restaurant. The waitress said that everyone else was complaining and threatening to leave. The family was finally asked to leave -- they were half way through their meal - and got that much of it free. But, this, also, is a different issue.

I think there are a few exceptions regarding having to take our dogs into a place of business. If, unexpectly, you have to run into a store, and the temperature is below zero - or 90 degrees - you might run in and out with your pup as quickly as you can....albeit you may be caught and asked to leave.

Once, I ran into MacDonalds with my dog under my sweatshirt to use the restroom (a real emergency) - and ran in and right back out as fast as I could go. (I really don't like leaving my dog (or dogs) in the car by themselves.)

But - I never deliberately take my pup on a "shopping spree, and every time my dogs go with me, I know exactly where we're going --- and it is where they can go - and are welcome - friends, relatives, Petco, and so on.

I will never understand why so many of you think it is so "cute" to sneak your dogs into places where they shouldn't be. I, personally, don't think that is very law abiding - or a very grownup way to behave.

But, since we have had a million threads on this very same thing - it is evident that there are people who follow the rules - and people who don't....
And - trying to justify "not following the rules" (for whatever reason) doesn't make any sense to me.

Back to the main subject - ---I do think the gentleman who escorted our "thread-starter" out of the store could have done it in a nicer way. I really doubt the store would appreciate his way of managing that situation.
