Just a few weeks ago, we were excited to unveil our new walking path, the "Sunnyside Loop." It’s a peaceful trail that also winds through a part of our property we share with our beloved White Swiss Shepherds. These friendly pups live with us in a charming little building we call The Little Sunnyside, a cozy space that used to be the outdoor kitchen. While they have their own fenced yard, it’s not connected directly to their home, so they often run around the property freely.

To help keep everyone safe, we put up No Trespassing signs to remind guests not to enter the dog-friendly areas. But as it happens, a few guests and visitors missed the memo—and while our dogs are friendly, they can get pretty excited and accidentally bump into someone. We didn’t want anyone getting hurt, so we decided it was time for a fence.

Building the fence took a little longer than planned. We weren’t exactly sure where the waterline ran, and we definitely didn’t want to hit it! So, we picked up a manual post hole digger to carefully dig each hole. It took more effort, but it gave us peace of mind.

Now that it’s finished, we’re thrilled with the result! And to make things even nicer, we added lights along the fence. Now guests can stroll safely after dark—and enjoy a little extra glow along the way.
