I sometimes take one of the dogs in with me when I go to Lowes. Yesterday I had Helio with me and everyone was petting him and loving on him and he was quite the ham. THEN the manager came up and asked me if he was a service dog. I said no but he is trained to track and to locate lost items. I told her he was titled and well socialized.
She was really nice and said I can see that but lowes changed their policy so now only service dogs are allowed. I told her I was sorry I did not know that as I go into Lowes in Warrensburg all the time and no one ever said anything. She said well we don't always follow it. AHHHH OK how am I to know what days I can come in???
Anyway she and I had a good visit - she is a good ambassador for Lowes as she was very nice about the whole thing. Then when I got ready to leave (I was at the door on the way out) another employee stopped me with an angry face asking me if he was a service dog. I said no but thank you for asking - I have already visited with you store manager who is a very nice person. ...... I left. But be forewarned I just hope Home Depot does not follow even though there is not one near us.
