Kennel makeover.


Our sweet dog Lulu was much in need of a kennel makeover.


See, tired, dreary, weedy and no wow factor.

Poor Lulu.

Then, fortune struck.
And I was the winner of a Ramsign sign.
Thanks to Tracey of My House of Giggles.


So, we got a rubbing and a scrubbing, and cleaned inside and out.



Now that Autumn is well and truely here it gets chilly at night.
So we fitted some carpet.
And a fancy crochet rug.
(No, not one of mine in case you were wondering.)


I know Lulu likes crochet, because she sits at my feet at night when I get the hook out.
(She has her own inner granny)


A couple of pots of white flowers,
fresh water,
and a welcome mat.



If you were wondering about the chain.
Sometimes eg when Mr M is chopping wood, we have to chain her up for her own safety as she tries to chase the flying pieces of wood.




One very happy fluffy puppy.

She has been popping in and out all afternoon since we did the makeover. She just lays in there with her head poking out the door.
I swear there is a smug look on her face!

    Genius! I'm more of a cat person (except for mine) but I'd be tempted to get a dog if she looked like that and had a house like yours. So well done :)

    Lulu, you are one lucky pooch! I love that you have embraced your inner-granny and that your humans keep you safe when wood is flying! Ann

    Beautiful house for Lulu - my Archie would be jealous! Isn't it amazing how one small change, like getting the new sign, can motivate an entire overhaul.

    I think you're right - she does seem to be all smug and smiley! Lucky Lulu.

    Lucky Lulu!! She looks very happy with her new digs! I know what you mean about dogs chasing the wood when it's being chopped, Molly does that too sometimes and it freaks me out.
    You put such a lovely comment about me on Planet Baby's post the other day, thank you so much! You are so kind!! x
