| What's the worst that could happen? I've had my little Krishna for about two weeks now and I have a purse style carrier that I use to take the little guy everywhere - so far he's been to the grocery store, the deli, Costco and Walmart plus a whole bunch of other places where he is welcome. My questions is what is the worse that can happen if I get caught with him? Do they simply ask you to leave? Or can I get fined or something? We haven't got kicked out of anyplace yet, but I'm sort of curious. Thanks, Julie |

| I agree, I think the worst that can happen is they will ask you to leave. Ecxept if there is a sign that is clearly posted at the entrance that says "No Pets" I know my son's school has a "no pets" sign in front and someone brought their dog after school for a sporting event and was warned by someone that if a Police Officer catches them they could get fined. Not sure if its true or not, but I try not to bring mine with me any place it is clearly posted.

| My brother taught me the greatest stratagy in life PLAY DUMB - it is my brother's philosophy on everything, and it gets him everywhere!! I will take this to my grave! If you get caught, just say - Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize dogs weren't allowed. They'll just ask you to leave. Good luck!

| I agree. Bandit went everywhere with me, and I never once had someone say anything. (Except for how cute he was!) Tucker is going to go everywhere, too, once he's older and had all of his shots. You shouldn't be fined, they can only say leave the building. Thanks to Paris and Britney, the world is used to little dogs going everywhere

| lol teri88! That's the first useful thing that Paris and Brittany have done (at least as far as I'm concerned) Krishna's gone into a couple of restaurants, too and he's been real good so far. Playing dumb seems like a good strategy. Don't know if I'm young enough to pull it off anymore, but it never hurts to try. Julie |

| They will probably ask you to leave. I went to a Duane Reade drugstore recently with Sophie during one of our walks. Even though I was holding her, the security guard told me no dogs allowed. I told him I would only be a minute to buy some baby wipes for her and that I would hold her and not put her down (which was my intention anyway). He still said no, but the store manager was standing nearby and heard me. I was surprised that the manager said yes, I could come in. On my way out after making the purchase, the security guard apologized to me...even though he was RIGHT to tell me I couldn't bring her in...but I told him it was OK, he was just doing his job. I don't know about your municipality, but dogs are usually not allowed in any establishment that sells food...and Duane Reade sells packaged food items (cookies, candies, and the like). I know I shouldn't have tried to get around the rules, but no harm done. So nothing bad will happen, you'll just be asked to leave. |

| At worse they will kick you out. However, I believe if you are at an establishment that serves or sells food(i.e. resturant, grocery store) and the health inpsector catches you with your dog, they can shut the place down costing the place hundreds and thousands of dollar. |

| In my area, they will ask you to leave. Not always politely. I was on my way home with a puppy one day and I needed to buy FABRIC to make my dogs beds. The woman cutting fabric told me dogs were not allowed. That was after she had cut fabric for me. I said "Oh, okay. You can just keep the pieces of fabric you just cut for me and we can buy some place else next time!" I turned to leave and they assured me they would make an exception this time. I told them I wouldn't!!! I would have felt differently at a place where food products are sold-but FABRIC!!! Gimme a break! |

| I got busted a few weeks ago trying to enter Walmart with my little guy. While I do respect laws I think that a simple sign at the front door would be very helpful to say the least. All I said to the guy at the door is it's your loss because my little dog causes a lot less damage and problems than some of the people you let come in here and he is probably cleaner too.

| Rini, I cant believe that about the fabric store!! I always taken mine there and the craft store too. I have however been told I couldnt come in to Best Buy which I thought was dumb seeing that I had just left Circuit City!! I was in the restaurant business for years and it is a violation of health laws if animals are in the restaurant. With the exception of real service dogs. |
