You all do know we have a 4 pound yapper, right? My yappy dog doesn't yap and my sled dogs don't bolt out the door. There's a correlation in there somewhere.

I think the Home Depots are on a store by store basis and the corporate folks have a no dog policy as some sort of liability thing.

Wish the rules weren't zero tolerance on trails in National Parks. At least they could open up some obscure trails that are hard to get to.

I've seen pics of Tambi hiking in places that I do not even want to go! Tambi is a unique little yapper. I'll bet she was never carried around in a toille purse! It's just that around here many establishments ignore the tiny, diamond-sporting dogs. Hey... A dog is a dog... (and it's obvious Eddie comprehends that well!)

So... no offense to Tambi... (Eddie, you should re-post that picture of her on some summit in a rock bed where the rocks were bigger than her - at least that's the way I remember the pic)

I always wondered about dog friendly places. Like here in my area, Didnt find much from that site . Idk i brought my lil dog Hailey into the local grochry store in town. My mom brought Josie in a few times but she works there so yea. But i Seen ppl bring there dogs into Harley Davidson dealership in Chippewa Falls, And seen one in Zachos (another power sports place). Also seen a few in WalMart even a black lab once. Always wanted to try and bring my 2 in places. Mostly just Josie she loves getting attention from people. Hailey on the other hand aint a big fan of crowds of ppl, makes me carry her if so. When i was out in Cali staying with one my buddys, We walked into many powersport places and even liquir stores with his pitbull many times even without a leash and never got told the dog couldnt be in there with us or anything. Ever sence then i always wanted to try it myself. Maybe someday ill just go for it worst thatll happen is say she cant come in. :/

i know some places down town with patios let dogs out side, we have gotten food to go and sat outside the place with the pups and ate, would be nicer if they could go inside, maybe we will come join you Eddy and Lindsay and try some beer, see what they say with a gang of dogs?

We just got a bakery for dogs named Molly's Dog Bakery. And Molly is always on site, she is a senior black lab. That is here in Camby, Indiana. dogs are welcome there and they sell lil bit of stuff for dogs, collars, leashes, bedding

We just got a new mom & pop pet store here in Graniteville, SC. It is called Bark Mart and has the dog food that you can't buy at Wal-Mart (TotW, Holistic etc.) They also have toys, leashes and a nice selection of crates and whatnots. It is an expansion of the owners grooming business. They are also finishing up a very nice kennel (which will open up early enough for me at 7am). I stopped by just to see if they carried my food since it is much closer then the other store. They weren't open official yet, but they let me bring the pups in and gave me a tour....and I bought a bag of food. Wonderful people.
