I have been asked to leave HOME DEPOT (where everything is oh so pristine, right???)

Now that I have 2 of them, I rarely take them with me except to the bank, where you would think they had trust funds .....
everyone is so nice to them there.

How big is your city? Do you see many dogs out and about? I live in a medium sized city and never see dogs anywhere but the outdoor coffee shops downtown and the pet stores. I'd love to be a trend setter.

I have taken Abby into pet stores, the bank, the post office, and even Kroger(my friend's mom is a manager and LOVES Abby )

When you say "mall" do you mean they are allowed in the stores? or just the open part? We only have one mall that allows pets to come in a certain door into the petstore that's right next to it. I've never seen pets anywhere else in a mall, but I would love to be able to take Abby with me.

I am so lucky that I live in a totally dog friendly neighborhood. They allow dogs to go everywhere around here. I live in Philadelphia (Northern Liberties). The one shopping place called liberties walk with all little one of a kind boutiques. Since alot of people visit a store called pet boutique the other store owners allow dog in their stores now so that we will come spend our money there too (lol). They even offer treats for the dog and the bank not only has a lolly pop bowl for the kids but also dog biscuits. The condo my sister lives in around the corner even put a dog run in there with a private outdoor park hidden on the third floor.

Outside of Petsmart and Petco there isn't anything around here.

Thanks Myboy~ Did anyone know that you had Deiter? We've gone to the outdoor seating at a few restaurants. And I have "snuck" Coby in while he's in his bag in a few stores. But I wish that he would be "welcome" some places besides the petstore. It would be sooooo much more fun. I've only seen one other lady in our town with a poodle in a bag. My daughter lives in Chicago, and I am so jealous!

Soory guys the place is called Chic Petique. I am going to atach their myspace address. I love the doggy song on there. Let me know if you love it too. Roxy will be going there tomorrow to buy a new toy. I love to take her out to places but I also get freaked out that someone is out to steal her from me. I guess I am just an over protective mommy.

Myspace for the store http://www.myspace.com/chicpetique

We are able to take Avie with us to ALOT of places!!
i dont take her to the grocery store-even though i have, just to run in and they havent said anything(she was in her carrier)
i have taken her into target MANY times(with her carrier and without))-its probably only a matter of time though, if what i hear is true-
we will take her to eat with us if there is a patio/outside area(we have been to low key indoor places though-she just stays inside her carrier the whole time)
When she was a baby we used to take her to the movies with us all the time!! hehe. (she would just sleep in her carrier)-but now that she is older.. she would be too excited by all the people!!
we go to the mall alot and also to run errands..
Luckily-There are alot of dog friendly places where i live.

I took my chloe at target one time and the security told us "she is allowed but has to be in the cart because some customers might complain" I don't know now tho.

I always call ahead to see if my dogs are allowed. If they aren't, I just don't bring them. Honestly I find it a bit distracting if I am shopping to have my dog with me. If I know I am just running in and out, that's a different story.. but to actually shop I prefer them to stay home. Mckenzie is the only dog I have small enough to comfortably carry in her carrier and she is anxious in big crowds so if I can't properly socialize her, she stays home which is better for all of us.

Birmingham...sooo, pretty big. Actually, I live about 10 min outside of B'ham. You see people w/ their dogs in their cars and at parks all the time, but not in stores other than PetSmart.

I will never for the life of me understand the facination acting as if you are above the rules and 'sneaking' your dog in somewhere he/she isn't allowed and how people try to justify doing it.
