Dog House With Shade Porch

A Good Dog House:
Is large enough to fit your dog comfortably, they must be able to turn around with enough space
Provides adequate ventilation for either warm or cold seasons
Has good insulation for colder seasons and climates (see below) - no dog or animal should be left outside in cold weather
Has a wind partition for cooler climates
Is easy to clean via a removable or hinged roof
Sets up off the ground
Is built of non-toxic materials in places a dog might be able to chew
Minimum Dog House sizes:
Highest point of roof = top of dogs ears + 5 inches
Lowest point of roof = top of dogs shoulders + 5
Width and length = dog from nose to tail + 14 inches
Your dog must be able to turn around comfortably inside.
Insulation:
Types of insulation could be anything that adds a solid extra layer.
Foam board
Sprayed in foam
Batting
Used carpeting or carpet pad
Old quilts/thick blankets
If your dog spends a lot of time outdoors make sure the house is warm enough in winter. No animal should be left outside in cold temperatures. All animals must have fresh food and water at all times.

Holiday front porch 2012 Snowless
Holiday front porch 2012 Snowless
December 15? Wow - where did this season go? And this year we even had that EXTRA week. It just doesnt feel very Christmassy yet here in Chicago - we have NO SNOW! Not a flake! Everything is so much prettier with a fresh blanket of snow and the carols just sound a little bit merrier to me.
I have been waiting to take pictures of my front porch with snow but now that it is not even going to be an option before Christmas, I finished today in the RAIN. Seriously?

This is actually a gorgeous tartan shower curtain I found new in box at a thrift shop earlier this month. It is coming in handy with all the rain it will have to endure. If I am going to have a rainy Christmas, I may as well move to Florida! Im so dreaming of a WHITE Christmas! :-)

A New Front Porch
A New Front Porch
Ever since I moved into my house I've wanted to tear down the front porch and rebuild it. First because it was tiny, second because it was uncomfortable to use and third because it was not scaled appropriately for the house.
I was thrilled to bits when everything came together this year to deliver the very porch I'd been dreaming of!! I didn't have time to build it myself but the contractor, the price I could afford and the timing all worked out beautifully, it was one of those "meant to be" scenarios.
Tah daaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
