The Dogs at Hidden Meadow Inn

One of our dogs is depicted on this video.*   Can you guess which one is ours?

When we opened the inn in 2006, our resident Welcoming and Farewelling Committee were Yoda and Jupiter (Jupi).  They joined the family in Fairbanks, Alaska in the mid-1990′s and lived with us until 2008 when they went to the Rainbow Bridge to play frisbee with angel halos in a field of stars and dance with the Aurora Borealis.

Here’s a comment about them from one of our guests.  Read more about them HERE and HERE.

Our current official greeters are two keeshonden (pronounced KAY-shonden), the official dog of Holland, a.k.a. “The Smiling Dutchmen.”  The standard for this northern breed calls for spitz ears, a thick double coat, a curly tail that must look like a part of its profile, a big grin and bespectacled eyes.   History records that they rode on Dutch barges, serving a useful function in foggy weather by barking at dogs on board other vessels, thus alerting the captain and crew of the presence of other ships they could not detect in the mist.

Apache was born in central New York and lived for a few months in the Southern Tier before coming to live at Hidden Meadow Inn.  He helped comfort us after the death of our sled dog husky Jupiter (June 2008) and our Keeshond-shepherd-husky mix Yoda (September 2008).   Read about his arrival at the inn here and here.   He instantly conjured up a variety of comical nicknames.
