Road Trip'n


I made a promise to myself several months ago when I went on vacation that the next time I went, my best friend was coming with me. Well, I decided sooner than later that I was headed to the beach (I go through withdrawal if I don't get to a coast at least once a year). Now the friend I speak of is the 4-legged kind. I was so excited because he was going to experience all the great things a road trip had to offer. I did my research on http://www.dogfriendly.com/ to see where the best dog friendly places were, including activities and restaurants he'd be welcome at. He's a good little traveler, though he has a few rules. "Don't eat or sleep while the car is in motion" And "catch all the possible wind in your hair that you can in each new state you pass through". These are some pretty sound practices if I do say so myself. I remember as a kid getting quite the tangled mass from leaning my head out the window of the car or riding in the back of the pickup truck. No matter what life is coughing up at you, the Great American Road Trip is quite a good tonic. The moral of this story is, that Archie got to dip his little paws into the Atlantic ocean on Folly Beach in South Carolina and run on the beach with his "mama". Once he realized the tide could catch him he really put some distance between him and the H2O but it was still worth it to see my baby playing in the sand.

I was on said road trip and I learned quite a bit about dogs. #1 dont throw them in a pond and expect them to swim to the shallow end #2 dont stare and wait for them to do their buisness just like you they hate being gawked at #3 doesnt matter what it is he'll eat it.
