I took Macie into Cabelas and we caused a commotion b/c eveyone want to see her , touch her blah blah blah. Anyway, they were very nice and offered to put her in a KENNEL! We left.

Cabela's has a restaurant so technically dogs are not supposed to be in there - BUT I took Rowdy into the Cabela's in Ft. Worth in his denim gap bag just last weekend and we were there FOREVER (my hubby was buying a gun) and no one even knew. We had to sit in this little room with an employee while they did the background check on my hubby (to be sure he was not a criminal :D ) and Rowdy was as quiet as a little mouse!!!

I've taken Rowdy into Bass Pro Shop openly, they were very friendly and welcomed him in - but they did not have a restaurant in the store.

I've taken my Brandy into lots of places. The only places that have told me she can't be there were an Albertson's grocery store and Target. We have several restaurants with outdoor patio dining areas and I have taken her there and usually she is not the only dog there. Other than that no one ever seems to mind. Of course I never put her on the ground. Usually in my arms or shopping cart. The biggest problem I find is that it takes forever to shop because everyone wants to see her and pet her. Sometimes I try to be really sneaky and keep her hidden just so I can get in and out quicker.

That's the Cabela's we were at. It's 6 miles from my house. Yeah (being fescious)

Since it's been cold i've tried taking Logan in more places and no one seems to notice or car. I put him in his bag and zip it up and act like he's not in there. And he just lays in there good and quiet unless he has to potty and then he whines. We took him to the mall, old navy, bedbath and beyond, and Kohl's and no one even noticed expect for a few kids. I think you should be alright as long as they don't serve or sell food and there isn't a sign on the front door that says no pets. And what's the worse that can happen, they ask you to leave, and I would imagine most places won't since they want your business unless your dog is making a mess or causing a commotion.

Taking your Yorkie with you...
 

Daisy goes just about everywhere with me-no restaurants though. I got in trouble with her at Walmart, but it wasn't until I was checking out and had been in there for almost 2 hours that any employee noticed. I had her sitting right there in the baby seat next to my purse. I do think just out of courtesy to others to leave them out of restaurants though. Not sure how I'd feel if someone's lab or pit were in the booth next to me. I know, I know we are talking about different sizes, but the impact is still the same. But hey, different strokes for different folks :)

doggie purse
 

I got my doggie purse from Avon. It is a really nice one and was only 19.99.

I was in Gordmans the other day and they had some really cute ones and they also has some other nice pet things. Bowls, etc. Their doggie purses were $19.99 but when I went back yesterday they had marked them down to $14.99.

I have taken Jasmine a lot of places in hers and nobody even knows I have her. She is always so quiet like she knows. I have taken her to Walmart several times.

If the purse is a little big you could put a blanket in it. I put one in Jasmine's as she is very cold natured anyway. It makes it more comfortable for her and keeps her a little warmer. She has grown a little more in the last couple of weeks so she fills it up a little more.

I brought her to work with me this morning because I accidently stepped on her this morning just before I left. You know how they are always one step behind you. I turned around and stepped on her. I was so upset and afraid that I might have hurt her so I brought her with me so I could watch her. I had to run over to one of the schools, so I put her in her little bag and no one even caught on to the fact that she was with me.

I just got an open style carrier and I am gonna try to take Jewels to some places with me.
