HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

My dog will be kept behind a barrier so although you will be able to see into the Florida room, my dog will visible nor will he be able to see out. There are counter height, windows that look into my kitchen from the Florida room,if I am fussing around in the kitchen or in my office that overlooks pool area, your dog could potentially have a line of sight to me. The office windows have heavy tint so that is less likely. The most chance for a sighting is via the rear sliding door. I typically play music when we have guests so that my dog can’t hear the party outside. I also provide an outdoor Bluetooth speaker so that if you want to play music and keep your dog engaged with the pool instead of fence line noise, you are welcome to play your favorite tunes. No judgement from me on your song selection! I find that this is helpful with my dog who is very interested in what’s happening on the other side of our fence at all times. JBL Extreme is the Bluetooth connection. Please message me for WiFi password.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water I am working on rewilding this yard. In its current state, there are a combination of ornamental and native species. Some of those include mushrooms and other flora that could be potentially toxic to your dog. My dog eats a lot of the grass with no issues. If your dog is the type of dog to chew on the wrong type of plant or eat a mushroom this may not be the place for you. However, if you still decide to come, I’m happy to try and connect you with online resources for identifying potential toxicity if your animal does consume a plant or a fungus. There is some unevenness in the concrete on the patio. Please be mindful of that. Due to the unevenness of the concrete, there is pooling of water in certain areas. It’s not perfect, but it is unpretentious! This pool is not fiberglass. It is an aggregate finish and for some people that means it can be kind of rough on skin, water shoes welcome although not required.  Due to shade being hung off of trees and roof line some of the attachment points may be rather low so if you are a tall person, keep your head on a swivel The hammock is a risky endeavor if you don’t have good balance. Be cautious and place on grass if needed. In the event of a heat based emergency medical issue either for you or your dogs, please do not hesitate to message me. I will welcome you into an isolated room of my house for your dog to cool off. My dog will likely bark and be excited however he will be separated so that the emergency can be managed.
