Construction at the Kennel

No matter how many new dog houses we build each summer, there always seems to be a need for more! As I look around the yard, I can't help but notice the large hole in the roof's of Chemo's quarters or the ripped up front stoop on Viper's mansion or the expanding door frame that Nacho now has.

Dog houses need to refurnished or replaced and summer is when that can happen. So, after a trip to the lumber store in Fairbanks, a half day cutting boards and a whole day piecing them back together, we will again have some new houses for the dogs.


Starting to put the pieces together.
They begin to take form.
Everything done but the kitchen and paint!

And the dogs really do appreciate their houses - you just have to look at it from their perspective. When Waylon lifts his leg and tinkles on each and every side of his domicile … that means he LOVES it! When Quito throws dirt inside her front door she's just simply redecorating for the summer season. When Mac tears the food dish out of the roof perhaps he just was asking for seconds!?

One thing is for certain … dogs will always be dogs and we will keep building houses for them.
