  I take Jasmine everywhere.  She is 5 lbs and has a bag and no one ever knows I have her if she is in the bag.  We took her with us this summer when we went out of town to ball tournaments.  We stayed in the Holiday Inns because they are pet friendly.   As we walked around in the motels and at the tournaments everyone stopped and oohed and aahed over her.  She is such a people  lover.  She loves everyone.  She does this little thing where she  walks on her back feet and rubs her front feet together like she is begging them  to pet her.  It is so cute.  She can walk on her back feet forever.
 I went to Walmart and  found her a kennel that is made of nylon and mesh and it folds  into a flat approx 12 inch by 12 inch square and pops up into a nice size little kennel.  It is so handy for traveling as the regular kennels take up so much room and if you have very many people  and luggage they won't fit.
 I have taken Jas into Walmarts, Claires, several malls,  Lowe's (Lowes here must be pretty pet friendly.  I took her out of her purse and  they just loved her) Silver Dollar City in Branson Missouri.  After I got to Siver Dollar City I saw signs that said " no pets".  I had been there before many times but not for a while.  Pets were allowed when I was there before.  I kept her in her purse all day except for a few times when  I would  sit  in a quiet place and let her out for  a  while.   I saw a security guard once when she was out and he didn't say a word.  Just smiled and walked on by.  He saw me putting her back in her  purse  and knew she wasn't going to bother  anyone in there.
 
 Most of the ball parks that we went to in other states and other cities in our state allowed pets on leashes.  One  lady told me the one in Topeka, Ks did not.
 
 We had to check out of our motel  at noon  one day and our granddaughter did not play  her  last ball  game  until late that evening.  We had not eaten in hours so on the way home we stopped at  the Cracker Barrel and  I  took Jas inside and we ate.  I  do not normally do that.   It is the first time, but  it  was 100 degrees  outside and I couldn't leave her  in the car.  I carried her in and set the purse down on the  floor beside  my chair.  She never  let out a peep and I don't feel I  contaminated anything as she was completely  contained and zipped  up and I kept her  on the floor.  It is not something I would usually do we were just in a bind.
 
 She is always so good and well behaved when I take her places and when she is in her bag she is very quiet almost as if she knows.
