Dog Run Improvements

On the days that Dakota and Guinness do not go to Camp Bow Wow in Lodo, they stay home.  While at home they stay in the basement which is partially finished and had a doggie door that takes them out to their Dog Run.  The dogs enjoy being outside and while we’d love to give them full access to the backyard when we’re gone, it’s just not practical  as they already have done a number on our landscaping!

So we have decided to make some improvements to their Dog Run.  Due to the fact that we have a walk out basement, the side yard is on a hill.   As you can see, the dogs running up and down along the house has caused the rocks to be pushed downward toward the gate.

The dogs also like to dig when their out there.  Often when we get home their noses are covered with dirt.  Here’s one of the holes they’ve been digging.  I’m not sure if they’re trying to get to China or just bored…

It’s still cold here in CO to dig, but we’ve purchased the initial supplies for the project.

Mike has a vision and from what I understand we’re going to tier the Dog Run with the wood so that it holds the rocks in place and also gives the dogs different areas to play in.  At the very top we’re going to add some stepping stones so they can lay in the sun and watch what’s going on in the neighborhood.

We hope to start making the changes in the next few weeks, but with three inches of snow expected tomorrow…it probably won’t be this weekend or next!
