I got kicked out of Sams!

[SBeckett668]

We got Calliope on Saturday morning. I took her to the vet 1st thing Monday morning - right after my daughter and I had our teet cleaned. It was fridgid cold out and she was scared so I couldn't leave her in the car.

I know...I'm HORRIBLE. lol But I know the Dentist personally so I figured if we're going to get busted anywhere - that'd be the best place to do it. Being a new Yorkie owner, I have never done that before and wasn't sure of the rules but figured a Dentist office where everything is sterile wouldn't be the best place but...what the heck. Of course she couldn't stay contained the whole time and we were busted about half way through the visit.

But what are the rules? Is Petsmart the only place I can take her?

Yes, I can. The rule is "No dogs except guide dogs". They enforced it. Sorry, but I don't see the problem.

I would not have showed him to her. I would have been like, I am in a hurry and dont have time for this and got all pi$$y at her lol. Hey it would be worth a try

Heck I can bring my girl in to food stores here. Your going to wash most food before you eat it any how

+ its not any different then having people who dont wash there hands after using the restroom touch all over the food and then put it back

I knoow I would get kicked out of Sams if iI took a dog in too because not only do they sell food they cook it too for samples

I think some of you took me wrong. I am not mad at all.

I was not offended..I just found it funny.

I understand why they don't allow them in there. I just needed to go in and hated to make another trip today.

Me, either. Although it is embarrassing to be asked to leave, (been there, done that ) the health code is enforced for a reason. We were asked to leave Target, because they sell food. I've got a Celltei bag on the way (finally made up my mind which one to get!); but, we don't plan on sneaking her in where she's not welcome. I'd just like to take her more and not be so conspicuous: "aaaaawwww....what a cute puppy!" People want to pet her, and I can understand why - she's absolutely irresistible! It would be more fun to live in Europe, where attitudes are more relaxed toward pets. You can take them EVERYWHERE, including restaurants, as long as they're well behaved.

I didnt get from your post that you were mad. My Sams would have done the same thing

[WV~Yorkies]

Speaking of dentist.. I took my duaghter to the Orthadontist yesterday and it was warm so I was sitting on the brench outside. They asked me to come in and show them the puppy. I was shocked! I fugured for sure I wouldn't be allowed in there. Everyone in there just loved him.

I remember the first place I was asked to leave.....it was my favorite bagel place.....but the owner followed me out and explained that someone had filed a complaint (he has the most magnificant dog that he brings to the store but leaves outside) he asked me my order.....and then brought it outside to me.......and said "it was on him" I told him I completely understood....(normally I would have been a nasty *#$%& and never gone back.....but how could I when he was so nice to me....actually that was the 2nd time.....the first time was the week I got her my eye doctor's office asked my daughter to wait outside with my 1 lb 12 oz baby (they did let her stay in the outside lobby area)

Jazzy wasn't going to attack anyone! ROFLMBO!!! I had him wrapped up in a blanket like a baby and the women had to ask to see him!

So they told me he couldn't be in there I left. No way was I leaving him in the vehicle alone! I just wanted stinking blackberries. At the most 5 minutes.

I understand they have rules. I just gave it a shot. Thought I might sneak by so I could have my blackberries. LOL

Anyway Jazzy went to the Vet. He checked out perfect. He weighed in at 2.12 pounds.. LOL He is a little sore on his back where they gave him a shot but otherwise he is perfect!

Might want to try a carrier/purse next time, we get away with taking Lillie almost anywhere in her carrier! Gotta be sneaky!!!!

I will have to agree with this..............My Evie goes a lot of places with me. Wal-Mart, Mall (for quick trips), Target, etc. I have a great carrier. It looks like an oversized purse (the in thing right now). She is almost 8mo old and weighs a little under 3lbs. so it is easy to fit her in the carrier. I even took her to a b-day party I kept her in the carrier b/c I did not want all of the children touching her. My b/f did not even know she was with me....it was hilarious....she said I LOVE YOUR NEW PURSE WHERE DID YOU GET IT....I just laughed and said look closely. She told me that she never would have known. Anyway, I am waiting on the day we are asked to leave and when it happens I will have to laugh it off too.

Vinyl, soft-sided carriers are great for that. We took Ozzie to the vet back in November and on the way home we went to Home Depot that was just down the street.

Walked through the whole store with him slung over my shoulder. Nobody said anything -- except at the checkout -- and they just wanted me to turn so they could see him through the mesh opening!

My 12 daughter had a basketball game at a school gym , we took miley when she was just a baby because she was going to the vet after the game , I had her on a blanket and was sitting front row, I guess that was my mistake ....to sit there or nobody would notice her , tiny little thing with out making a noise ; some person came to us and told me she couldn't be there ....so I had to take her out and missed my daughters game.

I told her that I was not in the food section, and that I had to be a member to even enter this store. She was not moved however, so I told her I had no idea where my husband was in the store and that I had told him I would meet him in the jewelry department, and that I had no intention of going out of the store without him. I would wait in the jewelry department for him, and we would leave. She huffed, but agreed. Did you ever know how many departments you go to to reach the jewelry department?? LOL If she had stopped me again I guess I was a cooked goose. Get a life, a 3 pound yorkie in his mommy,s arms is a lot better behaved than two thirds of the kids in those stores.

And probably cleaner then most people/kids. I can smell some people 2 isles over. I think I bath Tilula more then they bathe themselves-stinky butts

Awww. I take Tilula sometimes, but she doesnt like the noise so I will just give my kids money to eat say be good & leave. Most everyone ohhhs & awwws but sometimes I get a look like thats not allowed. We only live 4 miles from the school & my kids say I make them nervous, the want to impress me so much . So I say good luck & go back home. We have a little shake shoppe here w/outside seating so sometimes I will sit out there & eat w/Tilula if the weather is nice.
