Pets can relax knowing that the innkeepers welcome pets as they themselves have a cat, R.J., and in the past, owned many other cats; some that they fondly remember are Scrapper,a fiesty stray that was a Hemingway cat, and Shadow, a drop off cat that adored all people,and they in turn, adored her. R.J.,from one of Scrapper's litters, is a 20 years old cat, has some delcining health, but sometimes still acts likes she is still in her youth.
Also, they owned three golden retrievers in the past; Whiskey, Brandy, and Thunder,, all with their own unique personalities. They have adopted a "pound" puppy, Ginger. Ginger is 2-3 years old, and is a golden lab mix. She is #1 as playing ball, and is quite possibly the sweetest dog in the world!
