Funny I noticed your thread today- I was just in Target this morning with
LillyBelle in her purse (as usual). We have been there many, many times
before-today, though, the manager tracked me down and told me that
I had to take my dog out--I told him I was blind and needed her--it didnt
work--so I said okay--Luckily, I had gotten what I needed and just checked
out. (Im still offended)
Lilly is used to shopping, she just sits in her purse with her head out
and most people dont even notice her. But she does have a doggy purse
in her assortment, just for these occasions. It just zips all they way around,
and has mesh on both ends. When she was younger, she would just panic
if I tried to put her in this purse, so it took some training and patience to teach her to be in her "shhh" purse. We practiced at home, I would put her
in it for a very short period, praise her and give her a tiny treat...Now she hops right in and lays down, and doesnt make a peep. She loves to GO!!
anywhere/anytime...She's 4lbs and easy to carry around....
I keep an assortment of purses and leashes in my car, you
can go to most pet stores and some restaurants with outdoors seating
with just a leash....(watch out for bigger dogs)
I didnt start taking her out and about until about 5-6mos, and then for
very short trips. Be mindful of his tolerance to be out--
remember to bring water, food, and be careful of the heat...Dont ever
leave out in your car...Kind of like having a baby with you!
Have fun. |
