Or she could move to the Florida Keys We have dined at several resturants with Remy!! One time we asked very meakly if we could bring her .. it turned out there were about 10 dogs already there I think it is often allowed at resturants that have outside seating.

I have a stroller I bought off ebay. Dont take the kiddies much in it lately and since Jack took his serious almost fatal jump out of it. I have pushed him around in house with it after the incident so he would not be afraid of it. Bless his little heart.

Glad to hear lot of inside malls allow them. Never thought of that.

I have taken them into Home Depot and Lowes here and had no problems.

I was in Lowes this week-end and seen 2- different ladies with their little poochies.

Best buy here in mesquite allows them in as long as their feet never touch the floor or they don't start barking (Darby is a barker and never gets to go anywhere because of it). Mostly we leave them home since we have 4.

This is good to know. I have several friends with homes in the Florida Keys. We hesitate to visit because we don't want to leave Bailee behind.

I think it all depends in what part of the country you live in . We have a house in Florida and in that area it is VERY pet friendly. But up here in Mass, the only place I know that allows dogs is pet stores. I wish more places would become pet friendly.

I would ask the store first. When we wintered in Fort Myers most of the stores were dog friendly. Even in a Publix grocery store a woman was wheeling her bulldog around in a stroller which surprised me. Now it is hard for me where I live no pets in the store. I had one place turn me down in Florida and it was a beauty shop.

Europe is much more dog friendly, I think it was Switzerland the first time I realized how they allow dogs to walk right into restaurants. I was looking a lady with a standard poodle lying at her feet under her table. The lady smiled at me, and I said, OMG the blind lady just smiled at me! I assumed that the poodle was a seeing eye dog

I think a lot of places have rules that say no dogs and you will see it posted at their front door. However often salepeople will look the other way when it comes to small purse dogs, so I tend to chance it. I took Lola into Joanne's in a sling purse with just her little head peaking out and no one said anything, the gals at the cutting table were even making a fuss over her, then some other clerk, could have been the mgr, came over and gave me a tongue lashing about didn't those girls waiting on me tell me pets are not allowed and there is a sign on the door that says so. I said I saw that sign but it was a picture of a big dog standing on a leash, so why would I think it applied to a 5 lb dog carried in a purse. Since she was so nasty I could not resist it and I said didn't anyone tell you that you should be nice to your customers? however if you would like me to leave now, you can take my cut fabric and put it on the clearance table, or if you prefer I will quickly finish my purchase. I left with the fabric, I realize they have a job to do and if she was nice about it my attitude would have been different. I guess it is hard for them to make rules about pets since I do not want a bunch of big dogs walking all over store and restaurants. I never tried the stroller approach but if the dogs are zipped in and not seen I know it would work, and LOL I could just see the person's face when the say oh let me see your little baby

this reminds me of an I love Lucy episode, Lucy is flying home on an airplane home from Italy or someplace where she wants to bring home a huge full salami or ham. She wraps it up like an infant, Rickey will not sit next to her so she winds up next to a lady also with an infant, well most of the episode is the lady and the flight attendant trying to find out about the "baby" and get a look at it. I always think about this when I read the threads about strollers and wonder how many of you have people look inside thinking you have a baby, it would make for a good candid camera episode.

I hate I missed this thread, I had found a stroller (At my daughters request) for Corky, Well let say he would have much rather run. I just sold it.
