This is a dog-loving home. My boys and I always look forward to our visitors, but not as much as our old man Ollie. Ollie is a 12 year old rescue we've had many adventures with. He is a mutt who may or may not have some kind of Collie in the mix, but he is definitely a herding dog. I am great with dogs, but he is the real dog whisperer. For one thing he is a dog and he speaks the language. He has always had a welcoming disposition for other dogs. Even very skittish abused dogs take to Ollie. When we lived on an island in Mexico, he would always have a train of Chihuahua's not far behind. He has a way of communicating when it's fun time and when it's time to stretch out and lay by the fire. He makes boarding your special furry family member easy for him or her and easy for us, as well. We look forward to hosting your companions as you all go forth and do all the things in life that you must do without them. Cheers and God bless.
