I had to smile about the doghouse. That's 'cause my hubby decided to build our doghouse. He said we would get better quality and it would be cheaper. After $250 and countless hours later, I had to wonder HOW MUCH cheaper??? It's huge, with 3 windows, insulation, a door, (but no heat lamp!), etc. etc. The really funny thing?? Our puppy prefers the Dogloo that we picked up for $10 at a yard sale. Go figure!!! But maybe when he gets a bit bigger he will realize the joy of having extra room in the house made with love...
