Advice noted... I know Yorkies can be fragile, and my two babies have had their share of ear infections, itchies, scary coughs, etc. I have a stroller that I can put my 'biggin' in, and can always carry the baby... Thanks for the warning.

When I had just one yorkie, I took her everywhere with me. She stayed quietly in her carrier and usually never made a peep. I don't understand why people get so bent out of shape over taking a yorkie along to different places. Humans are in touching the food and coughing on it...the yorkies are in their carriers not coming in contact with anything. I don't feel I was wrong in taking mine with me and even sneaking her in. For those of you who think it's so wrong, leave your yorkies home. For those that want their yorkies with them, I say go for it.

And this is why dog owners get a bad rap.

:thumbup: I forgot to say I agree.

My vet gave me a warning a long time ago about pet smart & pet stores. I keep mine in my carrier if I take one in there.

I have taken mine into different places and have not had a problem. Only one at a time, in a purse carrier. I've even taken my tiny into Barnes and Noble coffee shop to have coffee with friends but never took her out of the bag, so there was no problem. I'm sure management wouldn't have gone for it, but we stayed on the far end away from the general food area, and she never made a peep.

When I go into Big Lots, a couple gals that work there will come over to say hi and see what she's wearing. They do sell food there, but no one has ever said anything to me. Again in a carrier bag.

I used to go into a grocery store and leave my dog in the car. That was a few years ago and now I just don't feel comfortable doing that with the theft now days. Sad because now they just don't get to go like they used to. And they DO love going for a ride, even though it was a short jaunt to the store. Too bad that it isn't safe anymore.

I, too, feel sorry for the OP. Her post seemed very friendly and conversational, she obviously has a new puppy, and is a new poster on YT. We all learn by doing, and she was quick to acknowledge that she wouldn't take her puppy anywhere there was food...even before she was "admonished" for that very thing. Her "sneaky" comment seemed innocent and playful to me; and I agree, a bit "tongue in cheek".

What seems the most immature and selfish to me is for any of us here on YT to attack, belittle or condescend to anyone, much less a brand new person. We all have opinions and, in my opinion, they can be stated without being unkind. We have a lot we can teach each other...on every level.

I surely hope that YT doesn't get the reputation for this type of response and thread. For what it's worth, they make me feel discouraged and bring me down, and I know I'm not alone.

I'm sorry, OP. I hope you enjoy YT for a long time to come.

I really don't care what you think anyway.
You hit a sore subject around here- don't let it prevent you from posting here in the future. I will never figure out why some people get so bent out of shape over what other people do anyway. I have met some really great store owners throughout the years of taking my babies with me- the owner of a shoe store once offered to lock the doors so my dog could stretch their legs around the store :eek: Haha- I politely declined and thanked them for allowing her to sit on my lap.

Good Luck! I've asked many times for people to please be kind but I always end up getting a great big kick, you know where and called names!! Now, If I do say anything I just expect trouble coming my way! ;)

I am also not talking about department stores...I was talking about running in convienence stores to quickly grab a soda or something...I had stated that in my second post also....sorry I stated the sneaky thing, however I did say in my second post the correction........
makes me think twice about posting again...geesh.
I was the OP from the BlkBuster post. I finally just gave up and unsubscribed to my own post. You should go read IT and just save your time and breath on defending your desire to take your baby with you.
Mina goes everywhere she can with us and we eat alot of drive through on our road trips because she is not staying in the car. She loves to go! and she loves to be with us. She crys when I leave and continues to cry,I know this because my kids have told me. Spoiled ,,, ya you better believe it and I like it that way.
Enjoy your baby and dont let anyone tell you otherwise. You will find places that you can and can not take your baby. Some people will think that your baby is adorable and not care if you are there and some people will not like you there just because your baby is "A DOG!". Try to use a little common sense about where to take baby and try to be civilized to people that are just being an ASSPRIN about it.

That is my opinion and 2 cents worth. Now I will just unsubscribe to this thread too. So I dont have to watch people step up on their personal soapboxes.

I love shopping with y'all. It's always an adventure! So, where to next? :D

Taryn0405 07-20-2011 07:50 PM
Wow it's like beating a dead horse..

No worries OP I take Gizmo alot of places as well because we're both in a similar situation. My husband and I work alot during the week and when we go out, we accomodate our nights to include Gizmo. We've only been asked to leave at one store, and I did so graciously without feelings hurt.

I don't think you're being immature, I think you're someone who is a new YT owner and wants to be with their baby alot, which I can completely understand. The week we got Gizmo, I was always trying to get home early to be with him and work on training and socialization.

I, personally, would like to see a photo of this cute pup's little furry head sticking out of a carrier.

We even thought out a well planned decision as to where we would eat when we go out, (outside places) I bought a Purse that looks like a regular purse only it has a holder to attach to his harness so he dosent jump out, it has a very comfortable bottom and two mesh sides to breathe and everything was going great, I have had him in Walmart, convenience stores, pretty much in and out stores. Until recently, we were out in a convenience store and when I stopped to chat with someone.....POP...out came Pierre' he wanted to socialize too! Well the store manager yelled at me and said NO DOGS allowed, so I had to go outside and wait for my husband....looks like we are just going to have to be alittle sneakier.....I was just wondering if anyone else has encountered leaving the store with your tail between your legs. Pierre' is very tiny right now so I am able to get away with it for the most part, we ll see how big he gets and how long I am able to hide him.

You are lucky that Pierre likes to go in one of those purses!! Peanut will not go in one, he does the "Garfield" thing when I try to put him in there! I have took Pnut places where he wasnt allowed. I have been caught once, and was kicked out. I dont find it a big deal as most people are making it.

Pnut has been a lot of places! He has been to, Walmart, Target, Big Lots, CVS, Walgreens, Home Depot, Lowe, Hooters... Uhh and a strip club that his Daddy took him to when he was about 5 months old! ( I was at work by the way, I did not know this was taking place!)

Have fun with your little guy, and I agree I would love to see a pic of him, he sounds really cute!!

I think we should consider being more welcoming as a community instead of personally attacking the character of the OP based on what may have been just a poor choice of words. Everyone has personal opinions (I have my own on this particular topic) but points can be made without verbal attacks.

Anyways, congratulations on your little Pierre :animal36

I identify with the OP. I bring Tatiana with me everywhere, too.

When I was unreasonably kicked out of an OUTDOOR event (there was no food sold or served), I was deeply upset. Tatiana was in pet-a-roo carrier (it's like a backpack, but it's in the FRONT of my body. Tatiana could stick out her head, if she liked).

Well, that's never happened again. Since then, I received a doctor's note designating Tatiana to be my emotional support/service animal. She can accompany me to all places. I always have her in a purse-pet-carrier. Incidentally, Tatiana is tiny. She's about 3-lbs, and her carrier is size extra small. She's always been quiet, well-behaved, and in my complete control.

This is completely unnecessary to use this tone with anyone, especially someone who just joined YT! Sneakiness might not be totally right, but I think rudeness is much worse!:thumbdown
