Does anyone have any good doghouse plans? I need to make dog houses for my two soon. I want to give them somewhere to get out of the rain, though if he has his way, Crusher will just stay out in it. I've reinforced the big kennel outside so they can't escape. Well not yet anyway. I'm going to have to bury some wire or something so they can't dig under when the ground thaws but that will come. I'm also going to fence in the rest of my yard once the ground thaws. I plan on laying patio stones over most of it, and I'm putting a pool out there for the summer, but I want to make sure the dogs aren't messing the yard up while its a work in progress.
The other thing is that we are getting our new carpets soon and I don't want the dogs on them. Especially during the springtime. Its warm enough out now, I think they will be fine staying outside. Of course I'll still take them for walks and stuff and they'll get some time with me during nap time and stuff.
Anyway, I need some plans for doghouses. If I make them slightly larger than they need will they stay cooler in the summer? Or do the same rules apply for heat as for cold?
