| Looks good so far. What are you doing for a cover? Also, what are the dimensions out of curiosity?
I have no suggestions as I've no experience with outdoor runs but I am looking forward to following your progress. _________________ |

| Cover for over the fence? I wasnt going to do one since he can go inside at his own will.. I might if he starts to climb the fence trying to get out. I cant remember the exact dimensions off the top of my head but i think the length is 30 ft and about 8-10ft wide. The inside is going to look real nice. Part of the reason its taking so long is because the walls and ceiling are all knotty pine. Which we have to sand and stain.. There is also going to be a electric fire place, and ac unit.. And i think my mom wants a TV in their too lol.. He is going to have the nicest room in the house! Lol |

| Yeah the cover would be for keeping him from climbing out, plus it might be useful on rainy days so a) he can go out while it's raining and b) to cut down on mud which may get tracked inside and/or may get all over him. Not sure how much you enjoy muddy clean up of the dog and breezeway. _________________ |

| That might be a good idea.. Ill have to see how it plays out and talk to my parents about it. He stays in a kennel right now at my sisters house (she is m next door neighbor) when im not home now. Its basically same set up. He has a part of the garage that is for him to stay inside then he has a run outside.. And he doesnt really go outside much when its raining. But if its starts getting messy i might figure something out. |

It goes into a thing we call a breezeway. Its kind of like a indoor porch. It connects our house to the garage. I will try to take a pic of that today. We are building a addition and the kennel is part of it, thats why its taking so long. We are adding the garage, breezeway, living room, dining room, and a basement under the living and dining room. Pretty much all yhr exterior to the addition is done, still workong on interior. Im hoping koda can move into his new kennel within the next month or 2 |

| First off no outside kennel experience but just questions and curiosity. What will the ground be dirt concrete and grass? Almost looks like footers of concrete with dirt(potentially grass) inside the footers? Will the AC and fireplace you mentioned be in the breezeway or did you mean he is getting a room of knotty pine outside? Just curious? Also is there an area of shade outside and a sunny area outside in the kennel. Bourbon loves to stay outside on a hot day in the shade in summer and in fall he loves to stay in the sun. Once it is done you might have an area for a baby kiddie pool too?
PS AWESOME I want one! |

| The ground is grass. It already grew. But me and my dad talked if we have trouble with him digging then we will dig it up and pour concrete but he is already 1 and hasnt dug to much so im not to worried about it. And yes thats exactly what we did we pour a footer around it, i think we did about 6" deep 6" wide. The ac and fire place will be in the breezeway. Koda will have constant acess to the breezeway with the heat and ac. The breezeway has the knotty pine. It actually looks really nice. I think its funny cause its pretty much going to be his room and it looks the nicest in the house lol. The kennel is up against the back of the garage. So usually there is shade from the garage most of the day. But i might look into something in the future like val mentioned above. And as for the kiddy pool i probably wont leave one out there for him. Id use a kiddy pool when im with him, cause i dont want him to track as much mud and water in the breeze way. I feel he will just make a mess back there with a kiddy pool lol. I am thinking about putting a sand pit or something eventually for him to dig in if he wants too. |
