Do You Allow Dogs?

Yep. Definitely do. 

In fact, having dogs visit is one of the perks of hosting.

I'm not sure I could handle having these two stay with me permanently.  I think that combined, they weigh more than I do.  (No comments, please!) However, as guests, they were quite delightful.

There aren't that many places that you can comfortably travel with your dog. I'm glad I can accommodate the travelers who bring their furry friends.

Just over a week ago, I read a Facebook post by a friend and neighbor.  She and her husband had returned home from vacation to find that their furnace had stopped working.  In the sub-zero weather we had been experiencing, their home got cold enough that their plumbing pipes froze solid... and burst, sending water into the house, turning many areas into a little skating rinks.

I can't imagine. 

I invited them to stay at the house, free of charge. After some hesitation (it's a Minnesota thing), they accepted!  The deal was that if insurance paid, I would charge my usual rate.  If insurance did not pay, I would refund 100% of their money.  Within a few hours, my friends, their dogs, and their cats  were comfortably housed. They stayed for almost a week, and were able to return to their home a couple of days ago.

Again, glad to have this house!  Sometimes I get the feeling that the house has me...  It's a good relationship.
