Don't get your tail between your legs. I am happy to report some news that is really something to woof home about.
While on an Olympics of errands with my mom and Princeton last week, we had to choreograph a shopping-with-dog routine: I run inside and get what I need; Mom stands outside with Princeton on a leash while passersby fall in love with his sweet adorableness (that last part may or may not be true, but, psssh, how could they not?). Good thing I was quick, I knew what I had to buy, and I chose good lines. This is what we decided to do when my mom and I spent the day together and we both wanted to hang with the P-man. It's that whole "have your milkbone and eat it too" scenario.
The final stop of the day was Bed, Bath and Beyond. We got out of the car and I promised I'd be quick while my mom waited outside with her granddog.
Only a pawful of minutes later, and I heard my name while browsing through the pillow section. Much to my surprise, the person calling it was my mom and before I could panic about where my dog was, I saw that he was in her arms. In the store. In the pillow section.
Was I dreaming? Was I in Europe? I've been so conditioned to thinking that here in our country where dog is man's best friend, we can't bring our pets into public, commercial spaces. It's always been ruff on me.
Turns out, a super nice BB&B employee saw my mom outside and told her dogs are allowed in the store. Company allows it. In fact, it's encouraged. So, into the store they came!
Say what?! Dogs are allowed in BB&B? Oh hell yes, BB&B is now my new favorite store.
So we had fun showing Princeton the ways of corporate retail America.
For example:
Had to document Princeton's first time in a shopping cart.
"Mom, what in dog's name am I doing in here and why is this so exciting for you?"
(and yes, apparently I am that dogmom who talks for her dog... at least in blog).
We even shot real, live video courtesy of mediocre-quality video camera-phone. My mom and I laugh at ourselves for having too much fun with this novel experience:
I'm so excited to take Princeton shopping with me again. Being productive while enjoying the company of the cutest little man in the world really makes you feel like you're getting so much more bang for your bark. Um, buck.

The video of Princeton in the cart is hilarious. I like how he looks all confused at the things going on around him.
Sadly, I think this only applies to cute, itty bitty dogs like Princeton. I'm pretty sure that if I tried to bring Dottie to BBB we'd be asked to leave:(
awwwwwwwww so adorable! believe it or not nordstromS ;) allows dogs! and i think anne is write, if icruised in w my dog children they wouldn't be so cool :/

That is SO good to know. What I want to know is if they discriminate against the size of dogs. I want to take my baby Claudius! :)
