First, the vibe at Joe's place is hypnotically peaceful! The yard is lush and green. The dogs are really sweet and were wonderful hosts to my dog. Second, can we talk about how comfortable the bed is? I almost feel as though it needs a warning: "Proximity to this piece of furniture will induce profound nappishness. Approach at your own risk."
And Joe. Holy buckets. My departure on the trip was delayed, and instead of arriving at a reasonable hour, I arrived in the wee hours. Joe was very kind about this, and made it a non-issue, even though I am sure it was not the most convenient experience he ever had. In the morning, he was warm and welcoming, and we probably could have chatted all day.
I highly recommend this lovely, nicely situated, dog-friendly home!
