Pugs in Public  During the hottest days of summer (when every
day is not just Halloween but a dog day as well), The Bitch
tries to move only from the Barkalounger to the tile to cool
off, but sometimes the sun-sensitive sighthound dashes over to
Nordstrom at the Village of Merrick Park in Coral Gables.  The
Bitch notes the presence of many four-footed shoppers at the
upscale department store, and it's no mistake to think canines
minor and major are treated like stars at the Seattle-based
emporium.  "We don't have a lot of policies in general, and so
we don't really have a pet policy. We do allow dogs in our
stores, and we find it's more frequent in our stores at outdoor
malls or a lifestyle center. For the most part we want shopping
to be as enjoyable as possible, but also safe. We ask our
customers and employees to use good judgment, and we do ask
customers to keep pets clear of our café," says Deniz Anders,
national spokeswoman for Nordstrom.  But the rules of Havanese
hospitality are not so clearly defined
