For what it is worth, we had a small area with a table and two chairs...leading up to it was a path of large thick flagstones. Our Rosie loved laying on those warmed-by-the-sun flagstones and listening ( at least I think she liked the sound ) of the fountain. The only thing that could get her up out of the sun and off those rocks was a caterpillar crawling on the flagstone...my word!!! She acted like a dinosaur was creeping toward her lookingt at her like she was lunch!
