Maybe I'll put my husband in it.

My daughter decided that our big old bulldog needed a dog house.  Even though we live in Florida and he has been an inside dog for a very long time, she got this wild idea that Lou needed a doghouse.  So, I figured why not.  It will be some nice bonding time between us.  I can teach her about tool safety and how to follow directions.  Then, one weekend we can paint it, all pretty tropical colors and walla, Louie will love it. 

So, I go buy some wood.  I have no idea how much to buy.  I started thinking this is harder than I thought.  I need quality doghouse blueprints.  How big should the darn thing be.  Is he going to even go in it.  So, I started thinking about Lou.  He is not a digger, he is pretty lazy over all.  One thing he really likes is to get on top of things. Like couches, chairs, boxes, cars.  He loves to be inside the car. I swear if I could afford it I would buy him one of his own, so he could just lay in his car all day.  Anyway, we decided to build a dog house with a flat roof.  This way, he can get on top of it.  What a great idea.  We got some good dog house plans and it saved us so much time and aggrivation.  We had such a good time bonding together.  And you know what.  Louie does love his doghouse.  Of course he loves getting on top of it more than in it, but hey, its his.

Now, If I put 4 tires on it, he might love it even more.  Oh, better yet,  My husband is in the doghouse alot, maybe he should spend a couple of nights in it. 

OH…just kidding….I hope he doesn’t read this post.
