    Only if it's a quick stop. Never ever in the hot summer unless someone is with me and I leave the AC on. There's a few outside cafes nearby where we can eat outside with Logan. Most provide water (we bring our own). We try to take her everywhere when we can.



    I've been Boooo'd!

    Yes but never for long, like if I have Nebo with me and I have to run in and pay for gas or something. Of course I would never leave him there when it's hot outside or anything. He's VERY good in the car, it doesn't stress him out at all, he just goes to sleep. But I'm paranoid about people trying to steal him so I would never leave him alone for long. I've parked the car right outside of a window of a restaurant and sat at a table to eat before, if I can see him the whole time I don't see a problem.

    I usually only take my dogs with me if they are going in somewhere (like, going to my mom's house or to the pet store, occasionally when I go through the drive-up window at the bank because they have dog biscuits).
    However, if the weather is nice and it is not too sunny I have no problem leaving them in the car for up to 30 minutes. I would never leave them unattended in a hot car, or even on a day that was over 50 degrees F. But, they like being in the car because they like to watch people going by and getting to see new things. Then, when I'm back in the car they like to check out what I bought. I just make sure to lock the doors, take off their seat-belts and leashes when I am gone so they don't get tangled and of course have the windows part-way down!
