Do You Take Your Yorkie Shopping With You?

[Bizzymammabee]

I don't take her because I usually have my kids with me and I only have two hands so it's better to not bring her and have to worry that she gets hurt.

I actually didn't answer. We didn't take our yorkies shopping with us, because we didn't take them many places with us at all. They went with us to pet stores, the dog park, family's houses, and other places like that.

I want to take Jambo everywhere but too many intolerant places. I remember when I lived in Paris, I went to a cafe. A couple (American tourists) complained about a black lab (Cleopatra was her name) that was seated next to her parents. The waiter told them if they did not like it, they should leave. Yorkies are especially popular in Paris, actually dogs in general. You are likely to step into some poop on the sidewalk. It is considered to be good luck.

Because of my job, I used to visit some trade shows in Europe. I do remember how I was surprised when I saw a yorkie walking with an owner inside building at Lingerie Trade Show in Paris. No carrier, no stroller, just walking. Definitely, dogs in Europe are more welcome in public places than in the US. IMXO.

I had a dream last night that my family and I were going to Paris, and I was taking Lacy with me. I was telling my mom how dogs could go anywhere in Paris. LOL

I couldn't help but laugh. My teapot ( 15.9lbs) will set in a large bag and has dined at some of the nicest resturants in San Francisco's Fishermans wharf area. Sinbads is one of our favorites and Teddy has been there often and they never know!!! He will sit so still and knows when we leave he gets leftrovers.

Sam goes wherever.... He is in his bag when we go to the movies or Wal Mart, they never know he is there.

It's not true of Tommy Bahama's outdoor restaurant in Naples, Florida. Believe me, I tried. They wanted me to "tie Kalina to a bench around the corner".

I picked #3. I've taken Bella and Chloe to Lowes, Home Depot, Target and Walmart (was asked to leave ) and all of the local pet stores of course. We have two dog friendly malls, Miromar Outlets and Coconut Point Mall. They've been in Off Saks and I took them in the dressing room with me. I think they enjoy going with me. They like watching everything and love the attention from the kids. I've taken Chloe to Aventura Mall in Miami, which is dog friendly, and Dadeland Mall, although security reminded us dogs were not allowed in the mall. I've taken Chloe to South Beach and we had drinks there. I was kinda surprised because I didn't think they would let us sit at the outdoor bar/restaurant. I also dined at an outdoor restaurant in Fort Lauderdale with Chloe in her stroller and at Cheesecake Factory in Aventura Mall. Overall I think south Florida is more dog friendly than most places.

I do not take my girl to any place that serves or sells food products as it is a health code violation unless they are guide/service dogs. I used to be an Operations Auditor for Home Depot and some stores had food service carts at the entrances and dogs were strictly forbidden inside the stores because of this (unless a guide/service dog of course).

I love to take her on small trips to the pet store, etc. to acclimate her to different situations, but I also think leaving her at home alone on small trips is also important as separation anxiety is also something we are working on at the moment. If I'm not specifically going on a trip to do something with her, then I would prefer to leave her at home because I never know what situation may occur that would prevent me from taking her into a building or store and you simply can't leave your pet in the car in the heat of Fort Lauderdale, FL for even a minute.

[stedmansmommy]

Yes, but only in stores where pets are allowed.

However, my babies just don't do well in the car - they used to when they were younger, but now they always seem to freak out. So honestly, I don't take them with me like I used to.

i once took lola to the movies, hahah

I'm one of those who think that dogs don't belong everywhere. WE know that Yorkies don't shed but others don't so they get upset at their presence. I have taken my Chloe into Michael's..in her 'purse' because it's right next door to PetSmart; no body in there seemed to mind.. She's only 4 months old and still gets soooooo excited around people (I'm working on that!) that it's really NOT fun to try to take her anywhere on a leash just yet!

[Mayas Mommy]

Yeah we do .....
