Under Construction...

Zachary and I have been hard at work this week on a little construction project for Sassy, our 9 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever. A little background information is probably necessary here. Sassy is a bit stubborn and quirky. Quirky in that she refuses to go in a dog house, stubborn in that she'll lay out in the rain on freezing concrete instead. Quite frankly she's not as spry as she once was and I've been very worried about her coming into the winter so I've come up with a little plan to trick her. We're going to put together a dog house for her in phases. Step 1: Several months ago we put a pallet in her kennel and she's grown quite used to sleeping on that (it at least has gotten her off the concrete). ACCOMPLISHED. Step 2: Zachary and I have built (yes, you read that right) three walls that we are going to add. After she gets used to the walls, we'll add a front and hopefully a roof someday. We're hoping that she'll adapt. Time will tell.
