What an incredible experience! What an amazing place! What wonderful people! I was in Seattle and needed to escape the rain while also heading to San Francisco. I wasn't prepared for how great this experience would be!

Beau is quite the character! I actually had a lot of fun with him. He's a bit of a temperamental Frenchie Bulldog, in a good way! He's one of the most affectionate dogs I've ever encountered. I spent 10 days with him, and he helped me stick to my routine. He kept me company all the time and even warmed my feet while lying under the work table kindly provided by James!

James and Diana are truly, truly wonderful people! Right from the start, in all our communications, they were very kind and friendly. When I arrived, they not only welcomed me warmly but also explained all the details about the house and Beau's routines. We had a really great conversation, and I laughed a lot and had a blast! They definitely know the best restaurants in the area and ordered some amazing Mexican food that was on a whole other level!

Their location is insanely marvelous! I had visited San Francisco a few times before and passed through their area, but I hadn't realized just how close they are to everything. Beau and I went for walks, and before I knew it, I was always in front of something I had visited as a tourist in SF. Believe me, they are close to everything, and the best restaurants are just steps away. I would take Beau for a walk, and suddenly I was in front of iconic sights.

The house is perfectly complete, organized, and fully equipped with everything. It's very easy, really easy to fall in love with Beau. At first, you get the impression that he always wants your attention, but as the days go by, you realize that he actually wants to give love, care, and attention. I was recently diagnosed with adult ADHD, and I was coming from a few challenging and even sad days. This little guy stayed by my side the whole time, and I was very happy about it. He kept me company while I worked and maintained my work routine. Sometimes, he'd even lie on my lap, which I loved. Other times, he'd be around. But he's also quite funny because he's jealous of the cellphone and tries to manipulate you at times with his cries. It's adorable because it's a breed characteristic – they love giving and receiving attention, and even more, they are extremely bonded to humans. At various moments, it felt like I was having conversations, dialogues, or negotiations with him, even sometimes walking, he is very easy, very very easy when walking, but he always tests you to feel if you care about him, I loved it, and it was really fun and kept me occupied during these 10 days. hahaha :)

I'm very grateful to him and his pet parents for everything – for their patience, generosity, kindness, and for being some of the nicest people I've met in recent times. Thank you, and congratulations for living such a wonderful life in such a great and well-chosen place. You guys and Beau rules! Thank you for been so great and best regards for this little guy!! :) :) :) +++++
