Some Luxury Dog Houses Are Nicer Than My House!

Did you know that you can buy luxury dog houses that have lights, running water, heat and central air? Wow! Keeping Fido comfy is a big deal, plus a lot of fun. Dog houses have sure come a long way from the basic dog house design that my dog calls home. If I treat him nice, he might even invite me over to his place sometime.

Dog houses come in all shapes and sizes, just like the dogs who inhabit them. At first flush you might think that dog houses are just so bla, bla, bla, right? But I憁 here to tell you, they抮e not. Yeah, there are some really basic ones, but there are also luxury dog houses that most dogs only dream of living in. But lets slow down just a bit and start with some fundamentals before we get into all that. Did you ever take time to think about what role the dog house has in your own life? And no, I抦 not talking about whether you have to sleep there or not. That抯 between you and your significant other to work out. I抦 talking about your memories and associations with dog houses. Here, let me show you what I mean.

When I think about dog houses I can抰 help but feel a little nostalgic. It抯 a tug of sentiment for my own childhood I憁 sure. I have positive associations with the dog houses I remember from when I was a kid. I can抰 help but think of things like: The Little Rascals, Norman Rockwell paintings, pulling my small red wagon with my pooch dutifully on board (attentive to all as we moved along as if nothing in the world could be more important than what we were doing right then), and, of course, Pluto and Snoopy. Now those two had great adventures around, in, and even on, their dog houses. Theirs weren抰 luxury dog houses by any means, and neither was my dog憇. Theirs were just basic four wall dog houses with a cutout door in the front, a sloped gable roof and maybe a name painted above the entrance. But as I mentioned earlier, there抯 quite a difference between these and some of the luxury dog houses out there. Consider this.

Did you know that you can actually get a dog house that has running water, heat and central air? I know! And the exterior design options are endless. You know those home plans books with all the little drawings of home plans? That抯 basically what抯 available now in luxury dog houses; pretty much anything you want. There are even some with actual furniture like couches and beds in them. The list of amenities goes on and on: indoor and outdoor lighting, stone facades, dining tables (with cutouts for food and water bowls), windows, bath tubs, welcome mats, insulated walls, multiple rooms, and of course, all beautifully landscaped. The super luxury dog houses are huge; big enough for you to go visit your dog at their place! I抦 not sure who is buying these things, but it抯 nice to know there are dogs out there living the life of luxury.

As for me and my dog, we like living together, most of the time. Don抰 get me wrong, I think luxury dog houses are great. They certainly put to shame the four-walled wonder I nailed together last summer. But, I figure what he don抰 know won抰 hurt him. And besides, I let him in the house quite a bit. I guess my dog sort of has it in the middle. He has lots of space and some?indoor comforts, but he isn抰 allowed to sleep on the couch or bed, and he certainly doesn抰 join the family for dinner at the table!
