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!
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!
Do you have a favorite vacation you took with your dog?
