So we bought a dog house. It’s very well made and the reason they sold it was simple, the dog they built it for never lived there. So it’s been standing on there yard for three years while the dog has at most smelled the corners and stuck his head inside to take a look and smell around.
It was quite big, there wasn’t much rum left on the car trailer we borrowed. Then again it was a very small trailer. When we got home we realized that it was tot wide to get trough the gate in the wooden dog fence. The next idea we got was to lift it over the fence. But since it is very heavy that would have required 6-8 guys. So there was only one solution left, cut up a wide enough hole in the fence ant nail it together again.
So after doing that I got some help from a neighbour and the 2 of us where barley able to move it to the right place. He was holding it up while I placed a few bricks under it. The only thing wrong with is that it’s painted yellow and white while our house is painted red and white. But later in the spring when I’m going to paint the dog fence red, the dog houses yellow parts will become red.
Speaking of the spring, there is a raging blizzard outside. The winter is truly late this year…
So........do any of your 4 dogs sleep in that house!?!!?
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I was laughing as I read your story of cutting the fence to get the dog house into the yard.....that is sooooooo how a project goes for Shawn!!! :-)
Well not yet but if I trow in some dog biscuits they go inside and eat them =). The idea is that at least some of or one of the dogs (preferably the 50 pound dog) will sleep in the dog house at least sometimes. Future extensions of our family and four dogs together might not work that well all the time.
ReplyDeleteWell when I built the fence I built a gate in it and my father in law suggested that I should build a wider gate. But since I was only going to drive in and out a lawn mower there was no need for a wider gate, I thought. But I'm not building a wider gate, yet. This was the last time we put something in there that is wider than the gate, I think ;-).
