Well I know where I DON'T take mine now=/ Up the cayons here I'm not even allowed to have them in my car. On father's day we tried to have a nice day and took the dogs up the canyon (apprently dogs aren't allowed but this is the first summer we could really go anywhere with them and we didn't know they couldn't go up there=/The sign looked like a resort sign and I dunno about you but at 35 mph you dont see the little boxes with things on them crossed out very clearly and we had 3 kids and two dogs in the car). We stopped at the stream to get out and let the dogs check things out and the kids walk around. Dogs were on a leash the entire whole ten minutes we were there before the Sherrif gave me a 300 dollar ticket=/. I haven't been up that canyon in 8 years. No warning no nothing. Apparently it's watershed area and his excuse was they don't want dogs pooing and peeing in the stream....I mean we all know they always run out into rather deep rushing water to do their business! He then fingerprinted me at the scene....and now i have to go to court. Of course i guess it's okay if the people and wild animals potty in the river, just not dogs, well except the dogs of the people who live up there!! Yes I'm still mad about it. Can you tell? They do go to pet stores with me though and to take the kids to school.
 
OMG Vela!!! What crap luck!!! I hope the judge sees the ridiculousness of the charge and drops it.

We take Willis everywhere. I take him to my office at school, he comes to the petstore and garden centres with us, we take him to our friends houses and just walking around some of the nice urban areas around town where we can sit and have a coffee outside. Willis gets attention everywhere he goes and loves every minute of it. Now, at four months he is very well socialized to people and isn't afraid of anyone. He did so well at Canada Day celebrations yesterday, even laid down in the middle of a crowd of folks without straining to harass everyone!! Good boy.
 
I take Toffee as many places as I can. She goes to the park, the pet store, to visit my grandma in the nursing home, to the Dairy Queen, to any little street/art fair I go to, to the horse shows my brother manages (and I work at). I took her to Mackinac Island one weekend, and she even went on a carriage ride (she fell asleep!). I think I will be taking her to CT with me for a week-long vacation in August too.
