My Hobbit hole Part 3

 My Hobbit hole Part 3

Every now and again I like to build something or do home repairs. What else is a shed full of tools for? We have a small dog, a Cavoodle named Gracie, Who, I joking refer to as my favourite child.

Gracie has a big heart and since we live on a corner there is a lot of property to protect. There is nothing Gracie likes to do more than anything (besides tummy tickles) is to bark angrily at passers-by who dare walk on the other side of the fence. One of Gracie’s problem is that unfortunately for her, we have a high fence that surrounds the property and she is so small she can’t see what or who it is, not that matters, she’s happy to tell them that she’s on her side and they better not come over and try anything.

This can be annoying, but it’s part of her personality and over time you get used to it and in my case, I started to feel a bit sorry for my poor pooch.

So I thought I would remedy the situation. Using a door from an old clothes dryer I found on hard rubbish, I cut a hole in the fence approximately at Gracie’s height. I thought the domed glass would help her look beyond the fence and protect her from larger dogs. This didn’t work as the glass gave a distorted view to the sides and Gracie wouldn’t use it.

So, I resorted to my default position when making things in the garden, I made a Hobbit hole.

I removed the dryer domed door and replaced it with some steel mesh and then spruced up the surrounds to recreate Bilbo’s hangout. I added a lamp and some flowers and made it all pretty.

Gracie still won’t use it.
