Do you sneak your baby in????
 

Zoey is almost done with her puppy shots. I was thinking I would take her everywhere as soon as she is old enough...then I started thinking...Where can you take a dog? Not to the grocery store, not the mall, not the starbucks... Do people give you a hard time for bringing them places? Do you ever ""sneak"" them in somewhere?? :confused:

I take Deiter everywhere, If I don't think they will let him go in, I put him in his purse. He goes in resturants, grocery stores, you name it and he goes. Nobody even knows that he is in there. He is very quite.

I take mine to the mall all the time. When my son was younger (1-2 years old), he sits in the stroller with my son and now that my son is 4 years old, I put him in my purse and go shopping like he's not there. The security guards never say anything when they see him, or maybe because the Galleria is such a big mall that they don't care. I see everyone do it all the time. So maybe it is okay to do it. Who knows?!?

YES! lol I sneak London everywhere cause I take her in her carrier, except to restaurants.

I have never taken my GiGi anywhere. (storewise) Probably because I am chasing a 5 year old and 1 year old. I am not very good at SNEAKING!! They would probably waiting for a reason to kick us out, I wouldnt need help from a dog in my purse. I have seen other (quiter) people do it!!! I wont tell if I see any of you out!!

Quieter!!! Good lord my eyes are bad today!!! WHO am I kidding!! I wouldnt even see you or your dog!! I need glasses, I must be getting YT eyes from being on the computer so much!!

Wobie goes everywhere with me. He's a service animal in training, though.

I've seen lots of dogs in Starbucks, I think some of them are really lenient about it.

Deiter would be lost if I didn't take with me. I haven't tried a movie yet.

I would love to make Deiter a service dog. How do you go about that?

I take Luigi with me all the time in his little purse. I've taken him to the mall, El Pollo Loco (haha), Whole Foods Market (they said no pets too..but he's so tiny and he stayed in the purse and I was there for 2 seconds, so what the heck), etc.

So yes, I do sneak him in. He's so tiny, I could even be blatantly holding him if I wanted to & it takes awhile for people to notice. Sometimes if you get a good carrier that looks like a purse, people will have no idea.

Only place I couldn't take him..Goldenspoon (frozen yogurt place that I love). Had a "no pets" sign on the window, and I wanted to be good, so I let my little sis wait outside with him ;)

I saw a pomeranian at Macy's once. She was in a bag that looked like a purse and her head popped out. I got startled. The saleslady didn't seem to mind.

I have never tried to sneak Winston in any where, we just frequent dog friendly places.

Recently while I was on vacation, I noticed lots of signs on stores saying "please carry your dog, if he's too big to be carried than he is to big come into our store" So I think as long as you are carrying them it can't hurt to take them places, all they can do is ask you to leave if they don't like it! Eating establishements may be different, though, since they have stricter regulations regarding food issues. :animal-pa

Zoey is so adorable!! I wish I could take Roxie everywhere with me. The only problem is that she does not stop barking when she is in her purse! (And it makes me said because her purse is really cute!) I have been trying to train her to be quiet. I am keeping my :xfingers: that I will be successful. But at least I can take Roxie on her leash to Starbucks. Dogs are allowed at the Starbucks by my house. :)

Also, while we were vacationing we stopped at a Wendy's for a bite and the gal in the next booth had a baby skunk! Nobody said a thing to her, personally, I would much rather have prefered dining with a puppy, but that's just me!:)

I've taken Max to places like the mall in a purse type carrier, and nobody's said anything so far, but I don't go into any food courts or restaurants there; usually just places like Macy's where I usually just run into the store and not out into the mall.
I've taken him to places where they allow dogs and I'd never take him into a restaurant unless they said it was ok, just b/c I can't be certain that Max would not bark if someone came too close to me or something. I have taken him to a restaurant that let us bring him in in his carrier and they said as long as he stayed in it, it was fine. He was pretty tired, so it wasn't much of a problem anyhow and once, when we got to a place we frequent, it was raining by then, we had Max with us and the owner knew we'd leave, so he told us if we sat at one of the tables by the windows and put Max in his carrier and set it on the floor we could stay there. Thankfully, nobody noticed and Max was very good. I hate it when people complain, and there's always at least ONE miserable person who will. I don't want the restaurant owner to get into trouble either. The only time we really did sneak him in somewhere, was for my MIL's funeral when we had to find a hotel room and the only place we could get b/c everything else was booked, didn't allow dogs. We stayed there all the time too, so it was pretty tough.....and trying to make sure that Max didnt' bark and getting in and out (it was a small hotel that you would normally walk thru the lobby and by the front desk to go outside).....we had to take Max out thru the back stairs when he had to go out to go potty....ugh....I'll never do it again; it was too stressful, LOL.
