I guess I am a "bad mommy" - the only place I take my two is up to our deer camp on the week-ends. Occassionally, I'll take them with me over to my mom's house but not often. When I had my first yorkie, Katie went just about everywhere with us - we would sneak her into Wal-mart, grocery store, and she always went with us when we went over to hubby's mom's house. But after kids started arriving, it was bad enough to keep up with them when they were younger much less an active yorkie. And now, because we live out in the country, I'll stop on my way home to do my shopping, etc. before going home so they aren't with me. I too have thought about getting a carrier, at least for Gage as he's smaller than "Miss Piggy" Gabby but then, like you, where would I take him in it?
