This is actually the only video I could get because while walking to the elephant exhibit because it is warmer in there a cop saw Meecho and told me I had to leave. Apparently they have a no pets rule at the zoo which honestly I thought was kinda funny. I mean she isn't peeing and pooping on the ground. She is contained in a stroller and I had her kangroo pouch to if they rather I held her. Plus it's already filled with animals so it's not like they could use the no animal rule :Laugh: But I didn't feel like going to jail so I just said ok and left.
Ok so it must be A man thing because when Admin read this he thought the same thing
sorry guys but I think she ment the Panda is being shipped to china not Mecho!

I'm about as bright as a broken light bulb. Panda's are from China, duh.

heheh...it's not a man thing. I had to re-read 4 times before I figured out it was the panda that was being shipped to China and not Meecho!Ok so it must be A man thing because when Admin read this he thought the same thing
I actually had to read it a few times myself, but no meecho is staying wherever I am, it's the panda who is being sent there. She was the first successful panda birth here in DC and is a big celebrity. However because she is born from two pandas who are on loan to us China technically owns the baby. We were allowed to keep her for two years and last summer she was suppose to go to China, but we asked for an extension and we were given one more summer, so after this summer Tai Shan is leaving us 
If you ever get to see her birth it's the funniest thing, because Mei Shong gets this look on her face like she had no idea she was gonna poop out a baby 
I've actually only been kicked out of one other store with her and that was William and Sonoma and the way I saw it they saved me from spending a lot of money at kitchen stuff I don't need or will ever use lovinsphynx let me know how the grocery store goes, it would save me a lot of time if I could just take her in there with me. Sometimes I really need to go but I won't leave her in the car on a hot day and on a really cool day I won't leave her for more then 1 or 2 minutes and I have to have the car in my constant line of vision and I will still visit the car like fifty times to check on her.
Kallie and Heather, I'm an environmental health inspector by trade and inspect restaurants, grocery stores and other food service facilities regularly, along with air, water, and septic systems. I can almost guarantee that your cats would NOT be allowed inside any grocery store -or any food facility- in any city or state as this would be against local and federal health regulations. There are some retail stores, especially those in the high-end outdoor malls, that allow pets, but this priviledge is at each particular store's discretion. William & Sonoma probably didn't allow Meecho inside because they sell food items and food-related products.
Ummm I have a firm belief when it comes to taking Meecho out. It's easier to ask for forgiveness then it is for permission :Laugh: If I go and they ask me to leave I simply say ok and leave. When I went to the zoo I saw the sign behind a tree, but following my philosophy I went for it and I'm glad I did or else Meecho would never have met Tai ShanThanks for this info sydkat7.
I haven't paid much attention but every once in a while I'll be at a retail store and see someone holding a little dog and I'm surprised. In a good way of course! I love seeing pets out and about. But when I think of bringing my pet out I always question whether its allowed. Better to be informed!
I do have to watch them though since they grow so weird sometimes they will grow right into her eyes or nose and I don't know if it bothers her but it sure makes me itchy to see it :Laugh:
Oh believe me -I definitely want to take a page from your book and bring my sphynx with me! I'm somewhat of a nervous nellie when it comes to the prospect of getting in trouble. But I like your philosophy and as long as its not a food place I'm going to give it a try. You only live once- (unless you're a catUmmm I have a firm belief when it comes to taking Meecho out.
