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!

 

I hope you enjoyed my Thanksgiving adventures, what kind of fun did you have? Ammo the Dachshund

Woodland Creature

Ah the smell of the great outdoors! It’s right up there with the smell of dead animals, bacon, and ponies. Being a farm dog means that there is PLENTY to explore. With 20 glorious acres on the family farm, there is lots of untouched and uncharted territory for one short legged Dachshund like myself. So when mom asked me last week if I wanted to go exploring in the woods, what else can you say but, heck yes I do!

It’s been a while since I last explored me some woods out at the farm, so I kinda thought there might be a chance of finding some woodland creatures. Alas, no hidden gnomes or scary trolls in these parts. Not even a hint of leprechaun gold either! Drat.

Woodland creature hunting sure wore me out. Me and Trooper are already planning our next exploring trip. I told Trooper we need to get a super cool predator vision night goggle cam like our pal Baxter the Dachshund so we can catch those sneaky leprechauns when they come out at night. hehe.
