When something is new in the house, the dogs all have to check it out. I had brought home a pallet from work after I saw this cool project using pallet wood to make a dog bed. When I set to work, the dogs watched through the baby gate into the garage as I built it.

At first they weren't sure what it was for. Everyone sniffed it trying to decide why the wooden box was in the rec room. Chima thought that maybe this was a "101 things to do with a box" kind of game and stepped into it, seeing if that would get the clicker going and the treats flowing. It got her a laugh at least.

I finally got the casters added and stuffed a Molly Mutt cushion to make it nice and cozy. Then Chima used it as a hurdle for awhile as her and Ellsworth played a game of chase. After that she used it as a perch to supervise the other dogs from on high.

Finally though, Ellsworth got the idea and he and his football had a nap.

It was a fun project so today I brought home another pallet. This time I think I might make a long narrow one that fits two Molly Mutt cushions and use it outside on the deck. As much as they love to sunbathe I think that one will be a hit this summer.
