I take Bonnie quite often. I usually ask her if ahe wants to go and often she does. Only if we have had a really busy day of agility training or other active doings, she sometimes would rather stay home and take a nap. She seems to know if it will just be a ride to pick up my daughter from work, and back home; or if we tell her were going to the park--then of course whe is excited to go.

Now that it's getting warmer, she doesn't get to go along to the grocery or places she'll have to wait, but in the cool months, she seems to enjoy watching all the activity in a parking lot. We lock her up securely of course and bring her a treat. I even keep some emergency treats in the car in case we go someplace that doesn't have anything for her, like the hardware store.
