Is T.J. Maxx Dog Friendly?

If you are heading off for some shopping at one of the 1,000+ T.J. Maxx stores in the US, you just might be wondering if T.J. Maxx is dog friendly. (After all, they do sell dog beds and many dog accessories!)

Are dogs allowed in TJ Maxx?

Muggs, James Thurber’s household Airedale pet dog, receives Environmentally friendly Lawn monument
A statue of James Thurber's cantankerous family dog, Muggs, is finally going up in Green Lawn Cemetery. Workers prepped the location near Thurber's plot on Tuesday, August 10, 2021. Jay Biddle of the monument crew, left, and monument crew head Justin Shumway, right, level the base.

“Nobody knew specifically what was the matter with him.”

But then again, individuals who know the tale of Muggs — the infamously cranky dog that belonged to the spouse and children of Columbus’ beloved humorist and cartoonist James Thurber — would have been stunned if this very long-delayed monument placed Tuesday in the Thurber/Fisher household plot in Part 50 of Green Lawn Cemetery claimed nearly anything wonderful at all.
