I recently had the pleasure of hosting the adorable Basil the Basset Hound for an overnight stay at our cozy, pet-friendly farm and what a delight she was!
From the moment Basil arrived, she brought her signature low slung charm and soulful eyes to every corner of the farm. After a little time to sniff around and get her bearings, she settled in beautifully and made herself right at home.
One of Basil’s favorite things? A good old-fashioned game of tug! Whether it was a rope toy or a soft plush, she lit up with enthusiasm every time we played. She’s got a surprising amount of strength packed into that squat little frame, and we had a blast going back and forth.
When we weren’t playing tug, we enjoyed some leisurely hangouts in the yard, soaking up the fresh air and sunshine. Basil explored the pastures with great curiosity, her nose working overtime as she followed every interesting scent trail. And of course, she couldn’t resist giving our flock of chickens a few hearty barks. The chickens, unfazed as ever, paid her no mind but Basil clearly thought she was doing important work keeping them in line.
In between our adventures, we took some sweet, quiet naps together. Basil curled up contentedly, letting out those adorable little sighs only a Basset can make. She slept soundly through the night, proving she’s just as skilled at relaxing as she is at playing.
I had such a grand old time with Basil and can’t wait to welcome her back again soon. Her visit was a perfect reminder of why we love what we do, offering pets a warm, homey place to stay where they can play, relax, and be treated like family.
Thinking about a farm sleepover for your pup?
Reach out, we’d love to host them for their own farmyard adventure!
