While admittedly it seems like so very long ago that I went on my Thanksgiving vacation to Charleston, South Carolina, I just couldn’t let anymore time past before I shared some of my amazingly fun adventures with you.

Engagement Party in Charleston

See not only was I headed to South Carolina for vacation and fun with my family, but I also was invited to my very first wedding shower!

See this summer, my Aunt Laurel & Uncle Don are tying the knot! (and I’m secretly hoping I’m invited to that too! *hint*hint)

Of course long before I even arrived in Charleston I was already planning my wedding shower outfit, because if memory served me correctly….Charleston is home to the southern gentlemen!

Thanks to my friends over at Le Petite Canine I had the perfect collar and bowtie to wear to such an occasion. The Jaq Collar is just what I needed to get spiffy. Now if this doesn’t say southern gentlemen than I don’t know what does!?

With my Wedding Shower outfit on point I was totally ready to welcome everyone to the festivities.

When all the guests arrived we had a blast playing games, opening presents, and stuffing our faces with food.

Well, ok I guess “most” of us did. Apparently us southern gentlemen have to beg for leftovers. I mean seriously, what gives?

I was beginning to wonder if anyone even noticed I was at the party at all!

I shouldn’t have worried though, my stunning good looks never fail, because Aunt Laurel said I was her favorite fur-nephew at the party! (never mind that I’m her ONLY fur-nephew!) Aww, shucks!

By the end of the day I was totally exhausted. Being a southern gentlemen is hard work, but nothing a little cat nap can’t fix!

Thanksgiving Roadtrip: Shopping in Charleston

Posted on by

Thanksgiving is obviously well behind us, but with the craziness that is Christmas I never got to finish telling you all about my adventures on my last road trip! So today I wanted to share my fun shopping excursions in Charleston, South Carolina!

Thanksgiving Road Trip: Pet Friendly Shopping in Charleston

Trooper and I are always very excited when we are involved in the family outings during vacation. While most dogs might sit at home Trooper and I are included in as much as possible, and you better believe I wasn’t going to let them leave me out of a shopping adventure!

Before heading to Charleston we made a stop at this cute market on Folly Beach. Apparently it’s a mini “grocery store” according to mom and dad.

Now I’ve never been in a grocery store before, because they are normally a “no dogs allowed” place, but Bert’s Market is super dog friendly! I guess in a small beach town you can have those luxuries.

And to be honest, I’m a little peeved that I was never allowed in this glorious place with all things edible before!

Trooper and I agree, it’s almost better than the pet store! *Drool*

Before hitting Charleston for some more shopping Trooper and I stopped off at the Disc Golf course to watch some of my family play. My buddy Sharkie was there too making sure no discs ended up in the lake. Apparently he’s an expert at rescuing drowning discs…..go Sharkie!

Then it was off to downtown Charleston for some shopping!

Trooper decided to wait in the car while I hit up all the best stores. I love that most of the shops are pet friendly!

Of course even in the “human” stores I was able to find the dog stuff! This shop had some fun gear from one of my favorite retailers, Ruffwear.

Most of the shops I visited became a blur, but eventually we found a cute little pet shop and mom bought me some of my favorite treats.

By the time I made it back to the car I was pretty exhausted. Shopping is a very tough job, but nothing a little cat nap can’t fix.

It’s a good thing Trooper didn’t hit the shops like I did, because he couldn’t even make it through our next lunch stop without passing out. He’s such a lightweight!

My trip to South Carolina was shaping up to be such fun adventure, and don’t worry, I’ve still got a few more tales to share too!

Road Trip with Ammo – Dog Friendly Downtown Charleston, SC

Yesterday I shared my adventures in the Isle of Palms, frolicking on the beach with my best pal Trooper, and having a grand time! But being a beach bum wasn’t the only thing I did on my Thanksgiving vacation.

There was some turkey involved too as I celebrated Thanksgiving with a traditional turkey feast with my family. Trooper and I begged mercifully for some turkey, and even though we didn’t get any, we had fun chowing down on the turkey sausage chews for dogs that mom brought along for us.

After our day of feasting Trooper and I headed into downtown Charleston, South Carolina to check out some of the local scenery.

Before strolling through town we practiced being southern gentleman on a front porch stoop, because I hear that’s what you do when you’re down south!

I even wore my fancy bow tie and poured on the charm, because you never know when a southern lady might be watching!

After my front porch adventure I realized I was getting quite sleepy in the warm southern sun.

I was also quite hungry too! So we decided to take a walk into town to grab something to eat. We ended up at Tabbuli, which had a great little enclosed outdoor dining area that was completely dog friendly!

After some good food it was off to explore Charleston, and I was excited to see that I was sharing the streets with some horses too! These carriage rides around town were pet friendly too, as I saw a couple of small dogs riding in them.

After exploring some of the shops I headed over to Waterfront Park, where I fit right in with my sailor jacket!

I even met some new friends while checking out some of the fountain displays in the park.

Then it was off to Battery Park where I watched the sunset before it was time to head back to my beach rental.

The next day Trooper and I took the short walk from our rental to the beach to say goodbye to the ocean one last time.

Then we packed it into the car and settled in for the long ride back to Pennsylvania.

Making sure to stop for dinner of course!
