No matter how many new dog houses we build each summer, there always seems to be a need for more! As I look around the yard, I can’t help but notice the large hole in the roof’s of Chemo’s quarters or the ripped up front stoop on Viper’s mansion or the expanding door frame that Nacho now has.

Dog houses need to refurnished or replaced and summer is when that can happen. So, after a trip to the lumber store in Fairbanks, a half day cutting boards and a whole day piecing them back together, we will again have some new houses for the dogs.


Starting to put the pieces together.
They begin to take form.
Everything done but the kitchen and paint!

And the dogs really do appreciate their houses – you just have to look at it from their perspective. When Waylon lifts his leg and tinkles on each and every side of his domicile … that means he LOVES it! When Quito throws dirt inside her front door she’s just simply redecorating for the summer season. When Mac tears the food dish out of the roof perhaps he just was asking for seconds!?

One thing is for certain … dogs will always be dogs and we will keep building houses for them.

  • Thanks so much for this report on the uptick (not a pun about ticks) in the housing market in Two Rivers!

    QUESTION: How many dog houses does one SP Kennel 4-legged racer "own" in his or her lifetime?

    Sounds like Waylon understands homeownership, Quito is planning to be an interior decorator after her racing days are done, and Mac…he just wants a REALLY BIG BOWL FOR ALL THAT YUMMY FOOD!!!

    Thanks again for the pix, sincerely,

  • I can only imagine the dogs excitement as you put their new houses into place!! Oh Boy!! Much appreciated Im sure!! Good thing you're not only awesome behind the sled, but pretty good in the wood shop as well!!

  • What great looking houses–which dogs are the lucky ones? Yes, dogs will be dogs & each dog expresses their personality in unique and unusual ways. I love the way Quito decorates her mansion. You didn't mention getting RED paint, do you keep a supply on hand? Thanks for the post.

  • This is great! Do you have house plans on this or is it a 'slap together' house; I would love to build one for my puppy.

    Give our love to the REd and Blue Teams…

  • Quito and Waylon are saying the same thing in two different ways, "look guys, THIS LOVELY HOME IS MINE!"

    I agree with Margaret, Mac was hoping for a Mega Mac sized dish, or he just wanted someone to notice, hey it's empty. LOL
