  • We asked a friend to build us a dog house....a few days later he had this idea.  He already had these old cabinets.
  • They cut out 2 holes for doors. The original cabinet doors still open, for easy cleaning. Put on a latch and a roof. We already had paint...so it just needs to be painted.  TOTAL COST LESS THAN $20.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1

    is killing the lawn because it is not a good diet for your dog thus the dog is urinating toxins which make the lawn turn yellow. Check with your vet for recommendations on food for your dog. General rule of thumb is that if it is sold in a grocery store for humans then is is probably a poor quality food. Check for a vendor who will deliver with a minimum purchase.
