Besides pet stores, the only thing i can remember is taking my Rat Terrier into KMart once when she was a puppy.

I would have taken King more places (especially since we were so bonded and i had a few people suggest he was CGC worthy,) but we're in quite the non-pet friendly area. Heck, many people around here still think dogs should live outside only.

The birds stayed at home (obviously the fish and amphibians did too.)

Koli isn't that well mannered enough for me to even consider it. (Though she IS better behaved than some brats i've seen people bring with them. Although my reference was to canines, it can also apply to humans.)
