| Dog Run Well Dh and I finally did it! We built a dog run for Peanut!! Yeay! We had to use one of our side doors, made a hole like a "doggy door" so he can go in and out. Dh is still going to bolt it down so it cant be moved!! Now this guy has no excuse to potty in the house!! So far we have had it open since Sat and we have had 0 accidents!!! Yippppe I think we have it this time! I can almost say my 4 year old is potty trained!! Dh is also going to get a rain guard to put on top when it starts to rain, Peanut is very high class and doesn't like to get wet! I can't believe how much he loves being out there, he loves to be in the sun! Usually I would have to be out there with him bc of hawks and coyotes and all those other things that would love to make Peanut a snack!! I love it! All yesterday WITHOUT me or DH telling him to go potty he went by his self!! THIS IS BIG!!

| This is great ! I have been wanting a simular set up with the doggy door off of my back porch. The whole back yard is fenced with 5ft chain link. I block the doggy door if I have to go some where briefly with out the doggies (like the doctor, grocery and so on) there is no roof, so birds can still get to the doggies. Your set up looks really safe. I really like what you did. I plan to share your pictures with my son. Maybe we can buy one of the dog run kits from Lowes, I think it would work like the one you have. Thanks for sharing !

| I love it. I am still kinda nervous to leave him out there when I am not home. I think once I get the real doggy door and DH bolts it down I will feel a little better but I am such a nervous nelly. I always think a coyote is going to jump my fence and try to get him!! LoL This is still new to me so I need to get a little more comfortable with it For the most part when I am home I feel that he is protected!!

| Yea I can understand it would still make you nervous untill you get used to it. I would love to do something like that for my yorkies and my cats. I have a gazebo on my back porch though so I cant. It was a great idea you came up with though.

| looks like what we are going to build when we buy next year. Did you buy the enclosure with the roof or attach it yourself? |

I know I wouldn't want to leave him out there when you weren't at home. I just think there are too many things that can happen. But I think it's Ok when you are home, because you can check on him.

| I'm so jealous....I want one for Brandi. The cat on the other hand has created her own "dog run" that they both use. She clawed a hole in the bottom of the screen leading out to the second floor deck. After years of fighting her on this I gave up and she finally won. There's no steps leading downstairs so they are perfectly safe. They both lounge out there and pretty much go in and out as they please but Brandi will not go potty out there for some strange reason. Probably because there's no grass. |
