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

[Genny]

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

[critter crazy]

The only stores my dogs have ever been inside, have been pets stores. And all the other pets dont go anywhere, not sure how people would react to a chicken in a store??

[Taz_Zoee]

Zoee has only been in pet stores. And with her freaking out when she sees other dogs, she hasn't been to the store with us in a long time.
Taz only goes out to the vet or to my moms if we go on vacation. And even then he usually ends up peeing on me.

[Ginger's Mom]

Ginger has only been in pet supply stores. But my RB girl went in 7-Eleven with me once. On Sunday mornings Peaches and I would walk up to the 7-Eleven for the Sunday paper for me and a Slim Jim for her. One Sunday it was snowing when we walked up, and the manager was outside clearing the sidewalk and said that Peaches could go into the store with me. I thought that was very nice of him.

Almost all of my animals go with me everywhere. lex goes absolutely everywhere including hospitals for tests. However with working with SD dogs and such I usually take all of them .

[i love my piggy]

All I have is a guinea pig but me and my friend take her dog to the mall (it is an outdoor mall)

mine go to petstores and lowes. They sometimes wlk to the donut shop but wait outside.

my moms seen a dog in Joann fabrics which I don't think its okay at all. My sisters saw a small puppy in a grocery store and that is not only gross but illegal.

Like everyone else, only pet stores.

For those of you who sneak your pets into restaurants, that is not cool. I love my pets, and love their company, but lots of other people don't. I think there is a time and place for everything, and restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and shops are not for animals.

My dogs have only been to Petsmart. I have seen people holding dogs (chihuahua and yorkie) in other stores though. I belong to another board and have come to find out that it is much more common to take dogs inside stores, etc. in Europe. One gal from the UK frequently takes her mini poodle to the pub with her. No one bats an eye.

Those of you ment ''me'' only of course,

I don't think it's cool, it's just I was hungry and had my pigeon with me,

If they did not like the pigeon with me I would have left, some people even took photo's lol.

It was a one time thing.

Umm... no, those of you meant any who take their animals into restaurants or stores, etc, not only "you".

Several of my cats (one at a time!) have been to PetCo, Home Depot, and the library!

My dogs have been to PetCo, Home Depot, the library, the bank and they got thrown out of the post office twice. (I seem to have the ONLY post office manager who won't let dogs in, and I tried twice as I was SO ticked off he made us leave the first time. ) Home Depot doesn't like them in there, even if I keep them in a carriage, and asks me to leave as well.

Lacey is the ONLY dog to ever sit on my bank branch manager's desk.

I took Sugar into Staples once, it wasn't planned and even though they didn't say anything, I could tell they didn't approve.

My dogs are WELCOME at the bank, he he, work practically stops in all the offices as everyone omes out to greet them. The tellers all ask for a visit even though they can't leave their stations, so I pick up one and walk the length of the window.

When Beenie was a puppy I'd brought her in a Walmart once. She was under my arm. They looked at me funny but before they spoke I told them it was too hot for me to leave her in the car and that I just needed one item from the dog section. (We were on our way back from a vet visit).
I know it was wrong to do but It would have been dumb to drive home and then drive back for the one thing I needed.

In Italy you can take your dogs almost anywhere. My poodle Deedee (long ago deceased) would go everywhere with me. To work, in restaurants, stores etc. She was a really good, quiet and clean lil one.
Most of the time, people wouldn't even notice her.

I forgot, Moo Man also went to my old work with me once:
