A Home For My Dog - Dog Kennel Plans

Not very many weeks ago, I came home with a dog, one that someone had abandoned.
I love animals and am a sucker for one that has been thrown away.
My wife, not the dog lover that I am, was able to change my way of thinking when the dog made a mess in her house! He did not know the rules of the house, but I did.
Doggie was going to live in the great outdoors whether he land I liked it or not.
You know I could not let the poor dog hang around the neighborhood.
He had to have his own place, so he would know where home is.
My first job was to find some dog kennel plans so I could build doggie a home of his own.
I went online to take a look.
Wow! So many options it was difficult to narrow down to one I thought would fit my talents and doggie's needs.
Finally, I chose a house with dog run, just in case doggie needed to exercise.
After I had chosen my plan, I looked over the list of materials needed to make doggie a place that would be comfortable in all kinds of weather.
Pressure treated wood would hold up really well.
But I knew doggie is a chewer and the chemicals used to pressure treat the wood would be bad for him.
I could, however, use the pressure treated wood in portions of the building doggie could not reach, such as the frame.
On the rest of the building, I would use either a composite building material or a type of wood, like cedar, that holds up in all kinds of weather and is not prone to rotting.
Let me recommend that you choose a set of plans that will give your pet comfort the year round.
During winter months or the rainy season, he will need a place where he can go to get out of the rain or snow.
During the winter months, you will want to make him a bed out of straw or old blankets.
And, during the summer months, he will need some shade and lots of breezes.
You will want your kennel to provide some shade and cross ventilation.
Many pets, like mine, are left alone for long periods of time while the family is at work or school.
I would recommend that you choose a set of plans that will give your pet the things he needs, including space to move about.
The dog kennel with dog run was a good choice for the abandoned dog I brought home to be our new pet.
The dog run gives doggie freedom to run around a little when he gets bored in the house or the shade.
Now that my dog kennel with dog run is complete, I do not worry that doggie will be sent away, nor get into trouble with the neighbors.
