Have you ever taken one of your dogs/pets inside a store?
I have taken my 7 year old poodle inside wal-mart once when we had just gotten her because we didn't want to leave her in the car all alone.
I carried my cockatiel about everywhere I went for about a whole year, I had a little animal carrier and he loved to go w/ me he would just be as quite as possible until we got back to the car, then he would start singing!
I have acarried our RB hamster Munchkin in walmart a couple times before...well I guess that's it for me :)
