Have you ever taken one of your dogs/pets inside a store?

My dogs have only been into pet stores. A few of my pet have been to church. We took our corn snake into a restaurant once. Justin and I have taken several of our pets to the small private school where his mom teaches.

Brick has been to Rural King, Dairy Queen, Huck's gas station, my grandparent's carhart store and the vet clinic I work at.

Beanie has been to Dairy Queen, PetCo, PetSmart, the vet clinic I work at, my grandparents Carhart store, and LOTS of other places.

Gracie has been to Rural King, PetCo, PetSmart, Seven Seas Pet Store, the vet clinic, my grandparent's carhart store, Dairy Queen, and a lot more places.

The lil puppy I'm raising is still too young to go places, but she did go bowling with me one night.lol

Only pet stores really. Once when Josie was a pup this convenient store let me carry her around because she was too small to tie up outside. They wouldn't let her in when she was bigger though.

All of my pets have been to my work down in the bar (not together) probably not a good place for them, but there were only regulars that day and they were happy to see them

Electra has been in the pharmacy I work at, as well as the Running Room(my dad is the area manager). she got to walk in and play and visit with custamers and employees at the Running Room, but in the Pharmacy I work at she had to be carried. the rest of my dogs have only been in pet stores.

Only pet stores for us. When Malakai was a pup we went on a cross country road trip to Georgia. He was small enough then (hard to believe LOL) that he went in almost everywhere with us. Lots of gas stations, starbucks, a dairy queen and even a couple walmarts. But if I were to do that now i'd be sent right back out the door .

Luna went to see "The Prestige" with us. Had to sneak her past security, but she was quite the little angel during the whole movie. She's also been to a thrift store...everyone was absolutely thrilled with here there

Toby has only been in pet stores...but he's such a handful that I don't think he'd be terribly welcome anywhere else.

I tried to carry Luna into Wal-Mart once but they made me leave :-( An Italian restaurant was kind enough to give us the okay to let her stay with us while we ate in the patio section.

Starting in 1975, there have been 4 "Radio Dogs" who helped me "fix" two-way radios and other
electronic "stuff" for Fire, Police, Business and Railroad customers. They've all been in places
few Dogs ever get to go ... most every Fire & Police station in NE Ohio, a couple jails,
and Casey visited countless Penn Central (later ConRail) Railroad locations.

Casey was probably the most traveled and most "famous" of the Pups -
she grew up with the railroad! She was still a pup when I moved into Ohio, and Penn Central RR
was my largest account ... our railroad buddies never remembered MY name;
but everyone knew "The Radio Dog"! Casey's Best Buddy was the local Captain of the ConRail Police ...
he'd "just stopped to see the Dog" at the shop at least once every 10 days. EVERY time there was a derailment, he'd make sure the Comm & Signals Department called
me to "check the radio" - even if it was functioning normally - he wanted the DOG! I'd get cryptic
calls to "come to the wreck at XYZ Tower, and Bring the Dog!"
"We'd" arrive and I'd go find the C&S group - usually to be told "the radios are OK, but the Captain
will be here in a minute." Sure enough, Cap would rush up within minutes and
announce "Gimmie the DOG - I need her real bad. Where's her LEASH - I gotta have a LEASH!"

I learned to carry one for her on "Wreck Details" - even though Casey NEVER had
to be leashed ... he said no K-9 goes out without a LEASH! He'd hook her up, tell her to HEEL,
and off they'd go to strike fear and fright into the train looters prowling the wreck!
He'd have to keep reminding her - "QUIT *waggin your TAIL! - Look ferocious!" They ALWAYS
had a good time; and Casey could manage to "guard" the occasional looter the Captain arrested ...
he'd catch one and put Casey in a "Down, Stay, WATCH HIM! BITE him if ya have to!" while he
chased down another one or two bad guys. I told him more than once she wouldn't bite a fly,
but he always said "THEY don't know that!" We missed the ole Captain when he retired.
