I take Debbie into stores all the time. She is small at three pounds and fits in her Petote bag with lots of room. This morning we had some work done on the car and went over to McDonalds for breakfast while we were waiting. The Petote sat next to me in the booth and I fed her little bits of hotcakes and sausage. No one noticed or if they did, didn't say anything.
Sometimes I'll carry her into places without her bag, but I never put her on the ground to walk in on her own. I'll walk her almost to the door since she likes to walk but pick her up before we enter the store. I don't want her to have any accidents. She only rides in the cart while in her bag. Some people might object if my "dirty" dog was in the place where their children sit. Better to just conceal her in the bag so we don't have any problems. She loves to ride in the car but there is no way I would leave her in the car alone even when the weather is mild. Too easy for someone to break in and take her. |
