Hi...

Just joined the Forum, your post inspired me to register...Thought you might be interested in the following...

I will be picking up MY new (4 Month Old) baby Yorkie boy when I get back from a planned vaction...July 15.

However, my daughter who lives with us just purchased a tiny Chihuahua 4 month 5 lbs. and my other daughter daughter just purchased a a 12 week old 3 lb King Charles Cavelier and I am the principal caretaker, potty and obedience trainer, and "Grammy" of my new babies. I can hardly wait until I get MY OWN little 4 month old 4 lb Yorkie boy...mid July.

I always take the babies everywhere with me in their special bags that I carry like a shoulder bag....I even have a baby Puppy Bjorn. It works out great...they love having their little heads poking out taking everthing in while I run around doing my errands (I only take 1 puppy at a time).

I take them to every store...shopping with me. (Department Stores, Food Shopping, Drug Stores, etc.) Most people don't even notice them.

Never had a problem. There are a few restaurants (I call ahead and ask if they will allow this, if I keep him in his bag right next to me...(which he loves and sees as his "den"). Some restaurants say "yes" and some say "no" because of health laws and local ordinances. But you would be surprised at hown many say it is OK with them, as long as they can claim they didn't see him if someone complains.

NOBODY minds my taking him into department stores, local convenience stores, cleaners, drug stores, etc. Remember, my son always tells me...

"Mom it is much easier to ask forgiveness (like, "oh, sorry I didn't realize you would mind") than it is to ask permission in the first place. Treat it lightly and they will too.

In the Large Grocery stores Stop & Shop, Shaws, etc, I put his bag in the child seat area right in front of me with him in it...poking his head out. NO one has ever said anything to me.

I hope my reply has helped you. Act as if you own the place...after all as a consumer you keep them in business. People basically don't want to confront you and lose you patronage....good luck.

Haven't name MY baby yet...any suggestions???
