Abbey always stays in her closed Sherpa carrier except at Petsmart or some other pet store or sometimes at Lowe's or Home Depot.
We have gone to the following:
Walmart
Target
Lowe's Home Improvement Store
Home Depot
Michaels's Craft Store
Walgreens drug store
Jersey Mike's Sub shop
Khol's Dept. store
Several pet stores
Outdoor restaurants
California Pizza
a diner connected to a gas station
24 hour family restaurant off the interstate
She just lies quietly in her carrier. I don't 'sneak' her in, but I don't advertise that she is there either. I don't take her anyplace where I see a sign that says no pets. We have never been asked to leave. Even one restaurant we went into for breakfast while we were on a trip. I am sure everyone knew we had a dog while we were standing in line waiting for a table. But no one said a word, not even the waitress. Her carrier was on the seat beside me (we had a booth) and she moved sometimes, but never made a sound. We do not stay long at any place when she is with us. Just do our business and leave. I take her with us everywhere when we are on a trip someplace and it is summer. I won't leave her in a car. If we were asked to leave, either my husband or I would wait outside with her while the other one did the shopping. It works for us.
