Dog runs

OK all that know me, know that my dogs are not in runs or kennels... they live in the house with me, and sleep where they want (except Mr lift-a-leg-a-lot, who sleeps in a crate, happily). Due to recent events (see last couple of posts, especially the OOPS post) it has come to my attention that one of my boys has legs (when compared to the leaping distance of the side wall) up to his armpits and beyond...


So............ bye bye beloved chicken pen, and hello new dog run (alas). Actually it will be a dual purpose area... it will double up as a lovely puppy play area when required! The boys won't be too pleased, but with 2 bitches due in season now in April, I figured it had better get done right now. The boys will only be in here during the day when I am not at home, when the girls are in season. They will sleep inside, still, alongside Mr pee-a-lot :)


The clean-up has begun! (Oh my poor lawn with all the bits of concrete and stones GRR)

The run will still be open and grassed (once they clean it up after my tirade). It is getting a slightly raised concrete platform for a mattress and bedding with a roof over this section. There is a concrete strip under the high fencing for anyone that fancies themselves as a digger (Nadine is smart, be like Nadine)... and gates will be metal for those gnawers out there....!
