Barbra is a jack russel, Shell jump in the truck if you dont tell her not to and will happily run off with snacks. we ask you dont feed them as it will teach them to come for food and some people dont appreciate the dogs.. This is a farm so you may see and smell animals. Depending on when you book you may even be somewhat near animals. Be aware of this and be ready to keep dogs contained. We typically run pigs in the woods around the cove but we move them regularly and keep the smell to a minimum by doing so.
