The Dahlie Family: A Dog House!

Yes, David and the boys made a dog house this past week. I have to start at the beginning of the story in order for you to understand. A couple of weeks ago we were at Costco and they had a big dog house on display. When Mason saw it, he thought it was just the greatest thing and we needed to buy it immediately for his dog. Of course, you have to understand that Mason's dog is only about 8 inches by 12 inches and it is stuffed! We tried to explain to him that his dog certainly didn't need a house so big, but he was pretty adamant. And if you know Mason than you know that once he gets something in his head, it is hard to dissuade him. So at this point David decided that he could easily make a little dog house and it would be a fun project for the "boys." Tanner and Mason had a great time using Dad's tools and they LOVE to paint. The dog house is finished and is in the boy's bedroom. Both Mason's dog and a little lamb that Tanner has acquired sleep peacefully all day together in their new house (the dog and the lamb are very good friends according to the boys).
