Today we spent a good part of the day walking around Charleston and Sullivan’s Island. The weather was great and the dogs well behaved. Unfortunately we got a late start back on the road and were unable to meet with Carole for dinner. We are spending the night in Cocoa, FL.

Bahamian Ch. ShadowGlen’s Midnight Dylan UD, RE, MX, AXJ, XF, OAP, OJP, NFP,CC, TDI, CGC, Bah. CD, Bah. RN is 6 years old today. Happy Birthday my very special boy.
Happy Birthday Dylan! Happy Birthday to you! Did you find Charleston to be a dog friendly city? Did you see Jimmy Buffett while you were there?
Yes..Very dog friendly. We had a great time walking around with the dogs.
No sign of Jimmy Buffett..was he there and not in Key West?
Hope you enjoyed the chance to see the earthquake bolts–Charleston is a wonderful walking city
Ann I would never want to play Trivial Pursuit with you unless I was on your team. What are earthquake bolts?
They are long iron rods that were inserted into houses after the earthquake in 1886 (I think–in any case, late 19th century). They are fastened on the outside with metal plates. Most of the examples we saw were round, often painted black, but they come in other shapes. Fortunately, they have never been tested with another bad quake, and I hope we never find out whether they work. But an interesting architectural detail to enjoy as you walk around.
I did not know about the earthquake bolts either. We saw them but did not know that is what they were. Thanks for the info. It’s great what we learn on this blog.
Happy Birthday Dylan – you are certainly having fun!
I just spoke with Matt on the phone as I am in Orlando at the Global Pet Products Trade Show for the week. I told him I was just about to check in on the blog to see the next instalment of the adventures of Ivan and Dylan. See what a following you guys have? Keep enjoying yourselves!
Sounds like Jack and Lynda are heading your way! You should meet up. Have fun in Orlando!
That would be lovely but unfortunately this is all work, work, work 🙁 Trade Show, meetings, dinner with manufacturers. Trade Show, meetings, dinner with manufactures……. you get the idea 🙁 The good thing is though, this is when the manufacturers are launching all their new products for the year such as Holee Cuz and Fuzz Cuz. Everyone loves the Holee Rollers and Cuz toys, so these are a couple of variations on a theme from the same manufacturer 🙂
Andrea, if you have any free time, send an email to me. I’ll come down to see you!

Andrea,
Dylan had a great birthday! I’m glad you have enjoyed the Road trip posts. We did not have access to the Internet at some of the Motel 6’s we stayed at so had to go to McDonalds etc to do a quick post!
It would have been good to see you but we will all meet up at NASS hopefully.
I hope you enjoyed being in the warmer weather and got have a little fun time other than all work!
Happy birthday Dylan! You handsome hunk!!
Happy Birthday, Dylan!!!
Happy birthday, Dylan! He is so handsome.
We are really enjoying your vacation installments, Lynda!
Happy Birthday, Dylan. Did he and little brother get a special B’day dinner? Although I think they are enjoying the trip from the looks of the photos. Nice to see other people that vacation w/their dogs.
Dylan thanks everyone for his birthday wishes. The “boys” are having a fun trip.
I’m glad everyone seems to be enjoying the updates…I don’t want to bore you!
