My Cousin made a Wooden Dog House.

Few weeks ago my Sister-IN-Law bought a dog into their house, they named her Picachu (based on the Pokemon Mania). the dog was lovely and lively, but unfortunately, i noticed that my nephew and niece re even afraid to get close to the dog because they fear bite, but as far as am concerned, they dog is simply playing with them. When i go to their house, I just can't wait to go over the dog and pet it as she wags her tail. often she would jump on me and have a little cute bite. but my brother is concern because their dog doesn't have a house. later this day, my mom took a few crates from the Market as my Eldest cousin attempts to make a house. we did it for almost two hours, i helped him. then, he painted the house brown. I have a few pointers to share, the dog meant for me but my nephew and nice liked it. now, even my mom helped my cousin and asked my help too to make that house..wow! i don't recall her helping me building a house for my former cats, i don't have a cat as i was asked again to throw the cat away. It made me extremely Jealous.well, i guess it's for the kids,anyways..

Is that the dog house your cousin made? Its so nice and it's like its perfectly done! Your cousin is so sweet to even bother to make a house for the dog. Others would prefer to buy a cage or just chain them near the gates or wherever the dog can be chained. I've tried making a house for the stray cats that live in my backyard but I don't know how to do carpentry so I just gave them my dogs' old travel cage. But the cats are so naughty and they don't like the cage. It wasn't a bad cage, it has a roof and it's worth 2,000 bucks. But now it was wasted cause it's gotten too dirty and I don't want my dogs to use it anymore. I'd have to wash it with hot water to kill the germs yuck! Anyways, really it's a cute dog house!

Well I also don't like to see dogs in cages cause they seem like a prisoner. I only put my dogs in cages when I travel. A house is much, much better than a cage.

how can they run a bit free if they are in the cage, that would make them go crazy

looks cool huh, but i found similar to that in the internet, maybe we should have just bought one, cage i think can just simply make them a bit lonely. it's a house with a rope in their necks to keep her from running away.

Hi Letran, well a dog house is known as a kennel and it was very nice of your family to go out and make one. They don't have them out here, they just leave them chained up on a long lead to bark all night and disturb the peace as people have them more in a guard dog role to protect their chickens and things rather than as pets. I think only foreigners here have pet dogs and think that they let them live in the house rather than in kennels.

Yes, it is thea. well, the problem is that the dog hard a hard time sleeping at night in the cold floor. so, he wanted the dog to have a home. their dog likes to play around. hug and play bite too. when i went there to deliver the house, the dog like it so much.

regarding your pointers, you're a real nice person. but as far as i can remember, you build your cat's house based on your brother old computer table, so why would you rant about making that kennel for their dogs. don't worry, at least you have make a house for your future cats...

That is nice of you all to build the dog a house. I am glad that you did that, now when the dog is outside and it's raining it has shelter. My dog goes inside the garage if it's raining that way he won't get wet. Of course he spend's most of his time here in the house with us.

yeah, it's real nice and cozy. i didn't realize it has similarities with other kennels or dog houses. well, their dog stays only outside because she hasn't trained yet to poop in the proper area

that's really thoughtful of you for making your nephew a kennel for their dog. i know what you mean but you're no longer a kid and there's other things beside mylotting.if they keep throwing your cats away, i think the best thing for you to do is don't take care of cats for now until you have your own residence.

Hello LetranKnight. It is so gorgeous of your cousin to have made a wooden dog house for the dog of his house. I am sure that the dog would find it a nice house for him to shelter and rest...
