Hazards

HOST NOTE

⚠️ Seasonal Advisory: 🍄‍🟫 Mushrooms have made their appearances here! We do our best to remove them quickly and also appreciate if guests let us know of any sightings. A tree fell in the yard so there is some excess shrubbery in parts of the lawn near the felled tree -Front porch has rocking chairs, ammenities, and the 'extras' for guests when purchased. If your dogs tend to chew on furniture or rugs please keep an eye on them while on the porch because there are some loose decorations n such - We have chickens fenced away but are visible. - Lastly, we have an active mole, so there will be dirt mounds (we collect for soil) that may look like there's a horse on property... We promise, there isn't lol Thank you!

Welcome to my whimsical and woodsy play place in the city. The Shire is a large, happy go lucky yard that reflects seasonal changes with its varying colors and foliage.🌼🪻 Always spacious enough for fetching and endless zumiez, it also offers hide-aways, bushes and trees for the adventurous, sniffy pups to explore. Dogs in-training will enjoy the safety of full fencing as they learn how to both play independently and respond to our typical surroundings of occasional winged🦜, wheeled🛞 and pawfoot🐾 traffic. This 2yr old sniff spot is also a spot in-training with growth and improvements being worked on every season. I welcome feedback to help make every visit a most FUN-furred experience for all our dogs and their fun-loving families!

Our yard is mostly grass with some trees for shade, chairs and a hammock for humans, and plenty of privacy for all. Fences are solid wood, 6 feet tall all around. Our pup, Major, will be indoors (unless you request a play with him - he's a friendly golden retriever). We'll keep the curtains closed for your privacy, but he may sneak a peak to say hi through the window. If you have a reactive dog and would like our dog completely out of sight, message me and I can accommodate that with prior notice. There are neighbors on the side with dogs that your pup may see arriving to the spot. Plenty of parking in front of the house. Private side yard entrance to the right of the house by the garage. Please use what you see available - pooper scooper and dog bags on the patio, toys throughout the yard, towels, hose and water station for pups, garbage bin on your way out at the side of the house.
