The pictures I'll be treating you to today are of my handy man setting up the dog kennel. You may remember me mentioning that our dogs broke their ties while we were out of town getting our belongings. We had been keeping them in our enclosed shed overnight and then tied up during the day since our return.
We had been planning on getting a kennel for them when the spring came so we just moved that purchase forward and bought one earlier. We ended up getting this Petsafe kennel from Petsmart. As the description suggests, it can be set up in a 10' by 10' configuration or a 5' by 15' configuration. I'll say first off that 15' is not as long as I imagined. Our original plan was to go with 5' by 15' so they could run more. When we realized how short 15' is, we decided to go with the 10' x 10' simply because that would give them the most area. In the picture is the base set up for the 5' by 15'.
Here we have our younger son watching his dad hard at work. We made sure that we put the doghouse in the kennel before putting the chain link around. 
I like to call this "The Last Spike" even though there weren't really spikes involved and this wasn't exactly the last thing to be done before the kennel was ready for the dogs. It was done just in time. Just after I took this picture one of our dogs came to play with me. . . . trailing the bit of rope that had been tying her up. She had broken it. The kennel was finished enough that she could go in while the rest of the chain link was being secured - thank goodness. Now all I need is a picture of the dogs in their kennel. I'll have to take one tomorrow.
