I'm a skite I know but I'm very lucky to be married to a clever man who often helps make my ideas a reality. This is actually his latest project and since this is a family page, I'm sharing it.
Our dog Sonny has been going on adventures lately, not letting fences or gates get in his way. He's dug himself out countless times, has been bought home by dog control once for chasing cats ( naugh-ty!) he's just being a p.a.i.n.
We've decided that when we're both out he needs to be on a run ( rather than having the whole back yard to himself). Since it's getting chilly we decided to get him a kennel- for a supposedly 'tough guy' breed he's a real sook and hates the rain.

I liked the look of this one but it was $269.00 plus delivery on trade me. That was all the motivation hubby needed to make one himself...

It's tucked in a sheltered corner, lined with carpet and he has some cosy blankets inside. We're going to cover the door from the inside with some hessian or something to keep the wind out. I haven't decided if I'll paint it. I may just hold out for any leftover paint from our EQ repair- or leave it 'rustic'. Pretty neat for a grand sum of $0 eh!: )
