We are almost done with Dale's outside enclosure. It took us a while, but my husband and I worked hard on it. We put Dale in yesterday because the weather was about 80 degrees. He's not exactly sure yet, but I think he's going to love it. Before he could see out, but we put the boards up and now he should feel more secure. It was so funny when my husband put a brick inside and Dale tried to climb over it I was laughing a lot. At the end of the day he was asleep in some long grass. We still have some stuff to do like plant some plants and we still have to put some wire up although we've decided not to leave him out at night. Hope you enjoy them. :D Candy

Its beautiful! You did such a good job! I'm sure that once he is used to it, he won't want to leave at all! Excellent!

It looks nice, you should plant some hibiscus in there, my DT's love the red flowers.

We did buy a mister at lowes, but haven't put it up yet. I've heard a lot of people on this site use their hoses to water down the enclosure everyday instead. We are going to put bricks around it and some big rocks on the inside to keep him safe. I don't want my dog Emma digging a hole for him to get out. I wish I could cement around it and then I wouldn't have to worry about Emma at all digging. He has already scared me when I couldn't find him the other day, but he was just hiding in some long grass in the enclosure. Candy
