day 1 of my "doodle and me" fall equinox getaway

[Sally]

OK so here i am at this quaint little cottage in Cape May, NJ (the Jersey Shore). Just me and Duncan.

The cottage was advertised and "more than dog friendly" and boy were they right! There were food and water bowls, a dog bed, toys, leashes and a pooper scooper when i arrived. And the house is decorated with the cutest dog accent photos and books. And a lamp that is filled with milkbones!!! (see pic).

It's so lovely and Duncan is enjoying an evening snooze now as the crickets outside chirp. He was a little anxious at first after we drove 2 1/2 hours to arrive at an empty house. He kept looking for where the people were...We spent most of the afternoon on the back porch.

Tomorrow i'll take him to the beach and then we'll stroll around town. I'll window shop:)

I brought my camera and figured i'd try for some potential calendar contenders.

This is my favorite time of year.Autumn begins on Wednesday. And the weather is absolutely superb.

I hope Duncan will treasure every moment of this trip. I know I will because i can't always do a "doggie and me" trip.

Love the first photo. Looks like a calendar entry to me! What a great place to be. Just you and your baby! I would have to drive 3000 miles to get there :( Have a great time!

That sounds awesome! I wish I could find a dog friendly place here...

Welcome to NJ! Hope you and Duncan have a grand vacation. What a handsome dood on a pretty porch.

Wish we were there. Enjoy you stay, it looks great and I bet there are photo ops everywhere.

This is awesome... what a fun place to stay! I hope you post some additional pictures of Duncan at the beach and your adventures in town!
