Dirty Dogs

Our dogs lay in the dirt.

A lot.

They are, therefore, sometimes dirty.

They've trampled the grass out there until it's little more than a giant dust bowl.  We figured they (and our house!) might stay a bit cleaner if we gave them a dog bed or two to lounge on when they're outside.  We found this tutorial online and decided to try our and at making our own beds.

Toward the end of the assembly process Norman got pretty interested.

He couldn't even wait until we got the thing outside to give it a try.

We added caps to the ends of the pipes (not included in the tutorial). Because, you know, fancy PVC bed.

Norman was the first to give it a go outside.

But Molly was watching and she eventually tried it out herself.

It's already a popular site from which to launch oneself at top speed. Also, on which to destroy tennis balls.

Also, on which to wrestle.

Also, on which to do some sort of weird, non-stop scratching behavior.

Also, on which to recline majestically.

We'll see how long it holds up.
