Do you sneak your baby in????

[mminichan]

Just wonder, if there are not many mesh windows, can they breath inside???

[MyFairLacy]

I think as long as there are some mesh windows, they'll be fine, especially if they aren't cramped in the carrier. I actually got Lacy's from one of her friends on myspace. The yorkie stayed really tiny and this carrier was kindof big for her and they had a lot of other carriers and wanted to get rid of some. They hadn't even used this one. I got a really good deal on it, especially with it being brand new. I love when I come across great deals! I would just keep looking at websites and all..I'm sure there are other purse-looking carriers out there that aren't quite as expensive.

Me either. I would never sneak a dog in. It isn't fair to those who have a right not to be exposed to a dog where they aren't allowed. Some people and kids are afraid of dogs and allergic. No dog is completely sure not to bark or get excited in some situation.

To be honest I don't like taking Brutus anywhere. I have a hard enough time shopping with an 8 and 6 year old and can't even imagine bringing Brutus along. I would imagine it would be a fiasco and would probably involve a lot of cursing on my part.

i've only tried taking Kash into a place once. we were going to eat at an applebee's, but i chickened out and just got the food to-go. he was being good and sleeping in his carrier (which looks like a large purse), but i was just too nervous that he would wake up, realize he was in a confined space, and start whining or barking... i might try again sometime. but maybe i'll do it when he's older, so i can train him better about not barking/crying when he's in the carrier.

Well, I'm a sneaker. I don't take him in any grocery stores or restaurants. Usually if we are going shopping and the store is more than 30 min away, I will leave him at home just in case I get asked to leave because I don't want to have to drive all that way for nothing. But Tucker goes everywhere with me around town. He never makes a peep when he is in his bag. I had a silky that I used to sneak into hotels. My husband's job had him traveling for business and it was too hard to always stay in a pet friendly hotel, so we snuck. In 6 months, I only got caught once. They charged us an 80.00 cleaning fee and told us to remove the pet immediatly. I left the room with my dog for the day while they cleaned and came back with him that afternoon. We stayed at that same hotel for another three weeks after that and they never knew that the dog was still there. I'm bad, I know.

Please be considerate of others and don't sneak a dog in. (stepping off my soapbox now)

What about all the people with out dogs who cause other people to have a panic attacks the the kids running around screaming? What if the dog keeps you from having a panic attack? It should be posted if dogs are not allowed otherwise you have no way of knowing.

Why would the rules of banned animals not apply to you if it does for everyone else? Why would it be more important to take your dog w/you than for someone else's right to breathe? And as for phobias, if I had one to dogs and I knew they were banned from a place, I would expect that other's follow that rule and not expect to encounter one there.
I love my dog just as much as anyone and yes, I wish I could take her places w/me, but I understand I can't and I don't. The rules are there, we should be courteous and respectful of others and follow the rules. Believe it or not, your babies will survive without you for a little while.
Ok, now I'm done. I'm not sayin' another word on this topic!

But how are you to know its not allowed in a store? If it were so big a deal dont you thing they would post no dogs allowed?

[hha]

Dogs are NOT allowed anywhere where there is food, PERIOD..sneaking them in to a grocery store or restaurant, is just uncalled for...it's too bad they can't fine people for bringing animals in to places where they're not allowed...there are a lot of people highly allregic to dogs(even yorkies), and taking them in to a place where people are eating or buying food is so wrong.

[sassypup]

Oh yeah, everywhere in purse. Start them young and they will get used to it and will be quiet as a mouse.

[Pinkluver]

I take ava some places with me. I don't take her to grocery stores or resturants, because that is a bit much for me, but a trip to the mall while in her carrier is fine!

[mrlmonroe]

I take Jeanie EVERYWHERE...........in her purse. She is quiet as a mouse, which is good.........

Restaurants (leave her on the floor), coffee shops, malls, banks, mmmm...let's see, grocery stores, ummm.......I just learned to take her in IN the bag. Got kicked out of a starbucks once, and then went to every starbucks after with her in the bag, and they don't have a clue. I have the best bag that is so good at hiding her......

[PrincessDiana]

Just took Franklin to Walmart! It was late though (11:00PM).. I don't think I would try during the day.

[JonlyCajunQueen]

Well, I do not believe in bringing pets in certain places...resturants....however, I do not see why you can't bring them in if they are contained....purses, doggie strollers etc.
