Also planned for Dog World: a covered spot to stash our folding camp chairs, and a pallet-platform for sitting on them. I may not be able to fence my whole yard right now for fun with dogs (mine and theirs), but by God I can make them a dogyard big enough to go to THEIR yard. One sweet spot will not only allow mower access and regular pooperscooper upkeep, but a nice, shady lawn spot for jes' settin' an' keepin' company. With a heckuva lot more privacy than this yard has permitted the 15 years we've had it.
It's like taking a lively fishbowl, wrapping it up in colorful, opaque saran giftwrap-- and giving it to ourselves for a present. Just a bit overdue!!!
Poor Hardi's wondered for years why "all this crap is piling up," but faithfully helped haul it all home.... "Surprise!"
And I am LOVING working with fencing. The last time I fenced-- well enough and resources available-- it was a 100-foot run of barbed wire I put up alone and stretched by hand to corral some escaping nonprofit cows. It's like shooting out a spider line you can then go explore upon. Or spinning saran wrap. :~)
