JUMPING GOLDENDOODLE

I believe if I could get Jax, my jumping Goldendoodle on a basketball court – he could dunk the ball…

And that’s exactly what we need to maintain our lead against Tampa, FL in the Go Pet FriendlyBest City for Pet Traveler’s” March Madness tournament…

The Boys joined us today as we took our house guests downtown to Battery Park –

One of the best spots to get to know Charleston, South Carolina is Battery Park. This lovely spot on the waterfront features southern mansions, cannons, cannon balls, oak trees, palmettos, statues, a gazebo, and incredible views of Fort Sumter, Castle Pinckney, and the Sullivan Island Lighthouse.

The ocean breeze was doodle*licious, and the flowers are already in bloom…

As you take in the sights, you can’t help but feel as if you’ve stepped back into time as the area hasn’t changed much in the past few centuries. Pack a picnic lunch or go for a stroll along the waterfront, and of course bring your pup along…

We spent the entire day downtown, laughing, tails wagging and eating a little Ben & Jerry’s #Harleylikesvanilla

I think everyone turned in early…

    Hi Y’all!

    The best part of the southeastern low country is the early spring. Did y’all get to Savannah, Ga?

    Y’all come on by,

      Early spring is the best Hawk (but make sure you don’t have allergies!) Haven’t gotten to Savannah yet – will do so before the summer I’m sure.

    The jumping photo is great! Looks like the little guy is really enjoying his dog time on vacation!

      He is having himself a blast. There’s been non stop playing since the humans arrived and because Charleston is super pet friendly – they’ve been sight seeing right along with us. #goodtimes

    We just LOVE South Carolina and hope some day to live there!! Pawley’s Island is a favorite of ours…but we have never been to Charleston! We will have to plan a trip!

    Love the Pics! Hope you and your houseguests have a lovely visit!!

      Thanks Jeanne, Charleston has always been my happy place. I’m not sure what specifically makes it feel so special, but together – the blue skies, warm weather, beaches, food, historical atmosphere, friendly people and most of all – how pet friendly everyone is sort of does it for me! Will have to get over to Pawley’s Island for a visit. Thanks for the incentive.

      Thanks Elaine – coming up against Asheville NC in the Sweet Sixteen round. This is gonna be a tough one, Asheville’s got some really strong followers but I believe Harley & Jax have the best voters in the land…

    I will be happy to cast my vote for you.

    Gosh, flowers, ocean breeze, green grass – oh if only, cold rain and wind and grey skies and no flowers up here in Chicago. Send some of that lovely weather our way.

    Gosh, I’d love to just snuggle up for the day with your fluffs or spend a sick day with them. They’re like giant versions for my boys. 🙂

      Jackie, you can always vote now. Hop on over to the latest post – we sure do appreciate your vote. Charleston is truly a dream come true for us, as well as so much fun with spontaneous stops and being able to take the Boys with us. Hope you’re able to experience Charleston SC for yourself one of these days. Happy Easter my friend!

    I love all the pix! I miss Charleston so much! It really has been too long. I wish I could have been there when Pamela and Mike were still docked nearby. Maybe next time. Meanwhile, I’ll definitely keep voting for you guys. And keep sharing the posts to help you get the championship.
