Our Dogs

Facebook and WhatsApp

Two dogs live on the property: Facebook and WhatsApp. They are brothers who were rescued by my father from the side of the road. We believe they are Carolina dogs, which have wolf ancestry—you may hear them howl or see them hunting. They help keep wildlife away and are friendly and well-behaved. They spend most of their time exploring or sleeping, though they may follow you around the property or into town.

If You Need Space

If you prefer the dogs not follow you, they can be tied up near the carport. WhatsApp's spot is in the back left corner, and Facebook's is on the garage gate.

Important Rules

Do not let the dogs into the casitas or bedrooms. They explore the jungle and may have dirt or debris in their fur. Do not use kitchen bowls to give them water—they have food and water available throughout the property.

Treats (Optional)

You are not required to feed the dogs, but if you choose to share food, do so away from outdoor tables. Give them meat or vegetables only—no cheese or avocado. They understand commands: "sientate" (sit), "bajo" (lay down), and "afuera" (go outside).

Evening Routine

Our staff ties up the dogs around sunset and releases them in the morning for their safety. If staff hasn't arrived by sunset, the dogs may bark at your door as a reminder. You can walk them to their tie-up spots if you'd like to help, or we'll take care of it.
