Sammie here, Ed handed me the leash this week to share one of my favorite adventures, Folly Beach. First, let me quickly describe me and my BFF for you... work hard, vacation harder. We know how to get the job done. Between me guarding the house and him planning WAG!Fest, we were ready for a vacation and we knew exactly how we were going to spend it. Three words: sun, sand, and sea turtles. Last year's trip wasn't our first, but so far it was the best. What more does a dog need in her life besides her BFF, long walks on the beach, down town Charleston, and partial piers? Well, I guess I wouldn't mind the "No Dogs on Pier" rule to disappear. It wasn't all play though, our trip was during the Sea Turtle nesting season. I made it my personal duty to make sure none of the annoying tourists bothered the baby turtles who were trying their hardest to reach the ocean after hatching. Of course, my BFF and I don't count as tourists... we're too naturally awesome at vacationing.
Dear Sammy,
ReplyDeleteMy BFFs wanted to take me to Folly Beach last May but they were told by locals that the dog rules there became really strict. They wanted to stay at a nice, supposedly dog-friendly hotel on the beach, but decided against it when they found out I couldn't hang out with them on the beach between certain hours and I always had to be leashed. Instead, we went over to Isle of Palms where we stayed with our cousins and I could at least be off-leash before and after certain hours.
We also walked around Charleston a lot and I could hang out with my BFFs on restaurant patios. That was nice except for the time I wanted to go talk to some pretty girls but my leash wasn't long enough and I spilled a dog bowl and wobbled a chair. I was a little embarrassed but nobody seemed to mind too much.
Anyway, glad you had a good vacation. If you have any Folly Beach - or other dog-friendly beach - pointers, my BFFs would appreciate them. Meanwhile, hopefully we'll go to WagFest today where I might meet you!
Woof,
Roosevelt
