Meet the
four legged, furry inn
hosts who reside
upstairs in the private
owner's quarters. Please
let us know if you have
allergies. Have no fear,
the dogs and cat do not
ever enter into the
guest rooms. If you are
highly sensitive and
allergic, you'd best not
book the Franklin or
Caledonia rooms as the
resident animal
companions do go up and
down the stairs in that
wing of the inn.
Gemma
is our 13 year old
Senior Black Lab
Extraordinaire who is
known for helping with
the chores. Her "best
pet trick " is carrying
the emptied recycle
container in her mouth
while trotting back from
the dumpster to the
inn's kitchen storage
area. We keep asking,
"When will she learn to
help carry it out when
it's full?" She can
frequently be found by
the front ramp to The
Barn, patiently waiting
quietly for anyone and
everyone to give her a
pet (and hoping to find
any food crumbs
magically appearing in
the grass or snow).
Gertie
and
Alice,
the lovable 5 year old
Labrador Retriever
sisters named after
Gertrude Stein and Alice
B. Toklas. Gertie simply
cannot possibly ever get
enough attention. Alice
is the more gentle,
omega girl who loves to
lean in for pets and is
quick to offer her paw
if she likes you.
JJ,
our 5 year old Maine
Coon Cat, is quite the
affectionate, very large
boy who loves belly rubs
and keeps "the girls" in
line. He is truly a fun
cat with a funny
personality and has a
true Southern
disposition--which is
where he was born (South
Carolina).
Other
critters frequently
spotted on our property:
a flock of wild turkeys
(who have so far evaded
the hunters), a
woodchuck (otherwise
known as a groundhog and
no friend of farmers),
spring peepers (frogs)
that live in the pond
and a variety of birds.
Come explore and see
what else might be in
the woods, pond,
pastures and fields.
