Some of the most undog places you've taken your dog? Those of you that carry your dog around, while you're out and about, in a dog carrier? I was talking to a lady at the nursing home today that told me about one Sunday when she had a tiny Yorkie, that she carried in a purse, about bringing it to church with her. I'm curious about the places some of you have taken your dogs? :) |
I have a 3-in-1 carrier that works great for odd situations. It's an airline carrier with wheels and a handle. It serves as a backpack carrier for walking around. In the car, it's used as a carseat. The backpack was particular helpful when I found myself at a crowded street market. I couldn't set him down because he would have been stepped on. I've snuck him into restaurants as well when it was too cold to leave him in the car. Sneakiest I've been with a dog is sneaking Eddie into a no-dogs hotel in my coat. It was a big coat, and you could hardly tell! |
ZoE's been in her bag in many restaurants, many stores, orthodontist, library, movie theatre, bank, post office, gas station, cider mill...I know there's a few more I'm forgetting... |
Hmmm, I've taken Sophia and Peyton to church before. :) And, we stayed somewhere in TN that didn't allow dogs. :mad: :eek: They were none the wiser as the Yorkies were excellently behaved! ;) I took my first Peyton to a kids place....out of business now, but at the time it was sort of like a Chuck E Cheese's...it had rock climbing, laser tag, etc. Someone complained. How rude of them! :mad: :p He was not well and just slept the whole time in a blanket on my lap. I had to go sit by the front until my kids were done playing. :rolleyes: The employees were nice, but the complainer threatened to call the management on them. It was winter, so I couldn't leave him in the car, and I couldn't leave my kids either. |
I haven't taken Bells out in her KB yet, but I plan to. I am hoping to take her to Walmart, the mall, and so on. ....If only I could get her in her KB :( |

So far Cody's only gone to the mall with me. But he and his KB are about to take a vacation with us, so I'm sure I'll have some stories then! We did pick a B&B that allows pets though, and we even found a local winery that lets dogs come. Now if only I could figure out how to take him ziplining with me. (Kidding! Don't worry! He'll stay safely in the room that day. ;) ) |

Razzle has been on a ferry boat ride. Climbed a lighthouse with me. In a local museum(he was in his purse carrier). Been on a plane 4 times. Various restaurants and coffee shops, and to the zoo. Razzle has been canoeing, and motorboating. |
We winter in Key West and I take Bella everywhere, restaurants, grocery shopping, wine bars, jewellery stores, mall...There is a church in Big pine key that the priest has two large dogs.. golden retrievers and when he was doing mass the two dogs would lay on the alter during the service. Before church would start the dogs would go up and down the aisles and people would bring treats for them. There were lots of other people there with small dogs also. Once a month he wouild do a specialty mass just for the animals. I thought that was a great idea. Key West is such a dog friendly city. We love it there!:) |

We have a comedy series 'over here' called The Vicar of Dibley - and one of the episodes was just what you're describing! :) Our local church also often has 'pet friendly' services (unfortunately, most of the kids round here just take their teddy bears.....:D) Sally + Harry x |
I'm afraid to take our Chihuahua and Sparrow with us except to the pet store. I see signs everywhere that only service dogs are allowed so I don't do it. I know of one story on a Chihuahua forum where one of the forum members worked at a hardware store that allowed dogs until one or a few dogs brought in fleas. They had a really tough time getting rid of all the fleas. I know my dogs are clean and free of parasites, but other people don't know that so I understand why there are rules particularly around food. I think it should be okay in outdoor dining areas because it's open to the elements and a dog is really not the worst thing that could be around the food. I would like to take my dogs to more places so I wish there were more dog friendly places to go. |
I haven't taken Princess out much, just because I'm very shy (typically:rolleyes:) & don't want the extra attention. Plus after going to a bad groomer I believe, she is terrified of places like that.:( After I got her however, I put her in my purse & snuck her in a store to weigh her. It was funny because a couple days later I walked passed a woman going into the same store & she had a tiny Chi in her basket in her electric shopping cart. |

Well, I bring Jackson a lot of places, but none that he's not really allowed. He's been in Home Depot and Lowes and walked on the ground on leash, nobody said anything. I bring him to Gettysburg every summer and he stays at the pet-friendly hotel with us and eats with us at this one Irish pub that has an outdoor area. Downtown Annapolis is always pet friendly, so he will come with me and walk around and sit at the outdoor restaurants. Most stores in downtown don't mind if you walk in with them either. He's been camping with us in my dads RV at different campgrounds... etc, etc. He's gone a LOT of places but most he is allowed. lol. There no sneaking 16lbs of him anywhere. ;) At the campground, there's an arcade and I always just let him come in when my brother plays the games, nobody has ever told me not to, ha. |
