A Phurry Phable
Beloved Queen strolled into the throne room to find her husband, the King.
"I need to redecorate the castle", she said. "I want some new dog houses,. carriers, kennels, and cages, too."
She batted her eyelashes at the King.
"Hmmmm", said the King. "I'll have to think about that, as I need some new things myself-er-for the kingdom."
Beloved Queen immediately went out to see what there was in the way of new houses for the children and the castle.
Here is Beloved Queen's advice for shopping for new dog houses:
Match your dog house to the size of your dog. You can always buy a bigger house as the dog grows, or you can make it more cozy for the puppy with some bolsters.
Don't let the puppy or dog be cramped up in the dog house. Give them room to stretch out.
In the winter, make sure the house is well protected from the elements, and that the door is facing away from the prevailing winds and rain or snow.
In the summer, good ventilation is necessary so the house does not get overheated.
Consider getting a cool comfort pad for your dog in the summer, a safety
heating pad in the winter.
Beloved Queen says, "I hope these shopping tips are helpful. Here are some recommendations:
