Weekend Warriors

Finally I started working on my summer project.  I’m redoing the kennel this summer and I started today which was clean out day.  I ripped out the last of the carpet that was in the space. 

 The space that is my kennel is what used to be 2/3rds of my apartment.  When this property was first purchased it consisted of a 2 bed room 1 bath “house” and a 1 bedroom apartment that had been created from the original carport.  Over a decade ago I gave up the renters and moved into the whole place and the dogs got what used to be my living room, kitchen and bathroom.   The laundry is still there and that is where the last of the carpet was, I was glad to get it out of there.

What I have now is the long room that was the living room now has crates against the walls and the kids sleep in them at night (The Seniors Windy and Stoney sleep loose in the house).  The kitchen is my grooming room.  I had the good fortune of buying a used restaurant veggie sink which has been installed and works wonderfully, a back saver!  The second bathroom I use as the feed room which works great because there is water there and the dogs can’t break in LOL!

What the plan is to install some better lighting in the grooming room.  I’m building sleeping boxes to take the place of crates, these will be of correct size and easy to clean.  I’m adding some shelving in the feed room and fencing in part of the porch will will serve as a puppy run or a place to stash a girl or boy when some one is in season. 

Today the carpet came out with the dogs help, their help was to stand on the carpet, chase the broom, jumping in and out of pool and running in and out with their wet feet.  The usual! 

It was good to get a least something started, we will see how it goes.
