I used to feel if my dogs weren't welcome in a store I wouldn't shop there. I was even allowed to bring them in Hunter's in Wolfeboro (in a bag of course). But it took me so long to shop because everybody stopped me wanted to talk about and or pet the dog, that I finally gave that up. THat is why I like small stores. Now if I had a big dog that needed to walk on the floor on a leash, I would never think of bringing them in a store. In fact, we used to have bigger dogs and never took them everywhere with us. There is just something about the little dogs.

I got that video in an email, with the retriever and the little boy. So cute!
Lowes does allow dogs. In fact when my Rascal was a puppy if I showed up at Tilton Lowes without her the girls were disappointed.
I often bring her to Gilford and many workers there know her by name.
I have never been asked to remove my dog from a Lowes store. I do however from time to time get looks from obvious none animal lovers with a look that says why do you have a dog in the store.
I would however never bring a dog into a store that needed a leash. To much work, but that is why we have lap dogs.
Oh FYI for those interested I bought my wife another JR puppy for Christmas. It doesn't replace pirate but it sure helped put a smile back on her face.
