Our babies right to go in stores! - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Well, in my case anyway, there was no "fascination with sneaking him in" anywhere. It just happened that I had to take him to the vet for a follow-up visit on the last day of a flooring sale. And I was buying flooring.

My choices were 1) Leave him in the car by himself -- which was not an option at all. or

2) Drive 15 miles home and drop him off and drive 15 miles back to go somewhere that is ACROSS THE STREET from the veterinary hospital.

I wasn't openly carrying him or walking him through the store. He was zipped up in his soft-sider. So the solution seemed pretty clear to me.

Sneak him in and go against their policy so that YOU don't have to go out of your way?

Sorry, I just don't get that...

I don't sneak him either. I asked first and only for the same reasons above. We were on our way home from the vet after his shots also, and I didn't want to leave him alone to go get some more cottage cheese he loves. I don't normally take him where it's not allowed.

I think as dog owners we need to put our best face forward for all dogs and dog owners, so I follow the rules. There are too many false stereotypes (if that's not redundant) about dogs and small dogs in particular. But I miss him when I'm not with him, so I understand the desire to be with our pups at all times.

Well, sorry. I'll agree to disagree.

Hey, I can understand a lumber store. It was NOT a food store. I was the one who went in a food store.

Most definitely.

And after the way Lowe's treated me during and after that sale, Ozzie should have gone down each and every aisle just spraying away because they were only too happy to take a huge dump on me!

Well, if they still have a policy against it though, regardless of what type store it is....

Then there are fear biters, and with little toddles and kids in those stores, I'm sure the law suits from biting dogs would put them out of business.

Yeah, I agree. I took Izzy to Target once and after dealing with the rude employee who asked me to leave, I realized that: A. it isnt worth the drama and B. dogs really should not be in stores with food.

I was the other day in Petsmart and I meet this lady from England (I think) anyway she was so frustrated because she said that in her country she can take her dogs everywhere and here not, also somebody that have lived in Germany said the same thing that they can take the dogs everywhere even in restaurants is that true?

so if is true they don't suffer of allergies over there

or what? I never been in any of these countries but if is true I may go with my girls for vacation

hope somebody here clarify that for me

Someone I saw today left there dog out in the car with it running while she was inside for an appt. Could not believe the dog was in the running air conditioned car for about an hour.

In Paris and Nice there were always dogs inside the restaurants. Nice restaurants...

Forget it, you're trying to use simple logic...it's useless. I'm with you, it's a matter of breaking rules or not. It's disrespectful.

If I came to your house...you asked me to remove my shoes...and I didn't, because I thought it was a silly rule...you may get offended and/or throw me out, right?? Same logic applies. You don't like the rules?? Tough, go somewhere else. You don't have the right to interpret rules as you please.
