Dog House Help

[livetohunt]

I used plastic olive barrels they run $3-$5 each, work great and the dogs love them. For my larger dogs I cut the neck off to give them a little more room to get in and out. I use a few deck screws to some 2x4 to keep them from rolling around and in the winter time I add some shavings or straw to keep them warm.
