Maddie Mae, our Brittany Spaniel, turned three at the end of October, and she still stays in a travel kennel in the house whenever we're gone. It breaks my heart because all she can really do during the day is sleep and turn around. We were processing our deer meat at Andy's aunt and uncle's house, and they have an outdoor kennel built on wood for their Great Dane. It was such a great idea!! Andy had been talking about building one, and after seeing their kennel, he decided it was time to act on it. It took Andy about three afternoons, 3-4 hours each day, to complete it. We are extremely happy with it, and I think Andy did an excellent job building it.
We do not plan on using this as a replacement for Maddie; she will still live/stay in the house. It will give us another option for days that we are going to be away from the house for several hours. Plus, she can stay in it during the day while we're at work. At this point, anything will be better than the kennel she is staying in now.
Here are some pics throughout the project...

Maddie wouldn't let Andy work. She thought that chasing her ball was definitely more important.
Andy built the frame into two parts so that we can move it whenever we decide to move out of this house.
