Annika sounds a lot like my Gus. I take him everywhere. He's not limelight seeker either. All he wants is to be with momma. Stater bros., target and walmart all know us and I have never had problems. Most of the time they don't even know he's there. Walmart is a different story. They will stop us just to say hi and take a quick peek at him. Even though he wants nothing to do with them, they love him anyway.
