I swear I really thought I would have been asked >to leave or at least to not bring an animal in there, I, too, take my ferrets with me to the grocery store, Wal*Mart and various other stores in town. Never once have I been asked to leave. Mine travel along in a WONDERFUL carry sack that I purchased at Ferret Fun Day, 1999 (Freedom Ferret Services, NH) from Alicia (FerretWise, MA). I will shamelessly tell you that this carry sack is the BEST! One time in the grocery store, I even passed a ferret over to the pharmacist who also had ferrets! Never been asked to leave Wal*Mart because of my fuzzbutts but... how is THIS for stupid? One time my daughter had just bought a Beanie Baby at a shop down the street. The Wal*Mart greeter stopped us and told us that we couldn't bring in a BEANIE BABY!! I told her that was ridiculous because Wal*Mart doesn't even sell Beanie Babies! I should have whipped out a ferret and said, "But you'll let us bring in a FERRET, right??" BTW, we've also taken my daughter's rat, Ruby, into Wal*Mart so she could pick out her food and her toys!
