Our papa Dan built us one!!!

Finished product

The building process

The door hanging while the paint dries

How it works

TA-DAAAAAA!!!

No pictures of Willy and Alex inside it yet, the kennel is still in the shop, will get friends to help us move it in this weekend. The kennel will sit in our entry hall with a lamp on top. Then when someone unexpected comes over, to inquiry about the property for instance, we can scoot the doxies into the kennel real quick so they don't go beserk and overwhelm our visitors. The boys will still stay in their pen with their old kennels when we have to be gone for long periods of time. The new kennel is just for those brief spurts when we need to have the dogs contained. It will be SO nice to not have to have their pen and yukky kennels set up all the time.

I told Dan some of you might want to place an order. This is the sort of thing that is priceless. It took quite a while to build since the pieces had to sit for three days between coats of paint to let the varnish dry completely. The wood matches our kitchen cabinets. Dan said if he could just build one and not have to wait for paint to dry, he could probably do it in three days.
