Biting Off More Than I Can Chew!

With the weather cooling off, I mentioned to Sunny that we should get a warm dog house for Soldier. Sunny had other plans for us though. Her heart was set on building him a dog house! "Well," I thought. "That shouldn't be too tough. A month later, I'm still working on it (Granted I've only had the weekends). Soldier had better like his house or we might have to get a new dog. Once it's finished though, it should be toasty warm. There will be insulation that's good down to 0 degrees F in all four walls, the roof, and the floor. I told Sunny that I wanted to build it big enough that if ever I get in trouble with her, I can sleep in the dog house. Here's some recent pics!


The roof is built to be removeable which will make it lighter and less awkward to move, and it will be easier to clean out!

Here has been Soldier's temporary sleeping quarters. Right next to our bed. Spoiled right? He loves it!

Me, ready for a night of sushi, and a movie!

Oh my gosh it looks AWESOME!!!! And in all reality, it looks like you could actually sleep in it. That is so cool. It can be an heirloom to pass on down from child to child. Seriously, it looks as sturdy and stable as any house--probably more so. GREAT JOB!!!!! Soldier is a lucky boy!
