My name is Hydee and I am an outdoor female Labrador Retriever. I love my owner very much. I sit next to her lawn chair listening to her complain about her hard day at work while she pats my head and sips an adult beverage. I clean up her mess when she drops a rib eye steak on the patio deck after burning her hand on the grill fork. I walk around the pool cleaning leaves from the surface of the water for him. Announcement when a stranger is on the other side of the fence. During the summer I like to sleep under the stars at night, but during the scorching South Texas days I need a place to retreat from the elements. When winter comes, I need a cozy place to call my bedroom. Love me as I love you.

I visit him every day, through the fence, with a beautiful Rottweiler puppy named Lexee. She was describing her new dog house and it sounds wonderful. It is a garden shed for dogs with a closed window that opens for greater ventilation. She even has a flap on the door to protect her from rain and bugs. These are great features for convenience. The roof is built with waterproof tile material. And the rest of the house is made from kiln-dried fir lumber with an oil-based stain that exhibits cedar-like qualities, making it resistant to pests, rot, weather, and moisture. It really is a great looking dog house. Love me as I love you.

There may be a downside in that I don’t know how easy it is to remove the roof for cleaning. The opening is large though, so Dad could power wash and use a leaf blower to clean and dry the inside effectively. I will do my best to keep it clean. Look I love you

During the summer, I would like my house to be in the shade with the door and window openings facing south for cooler coastal breezes. However, during the winter I want to place it in the sun for solar heating, but keep the door and window openings facing south so the cold brittle wind from the north doesn’t hit me. Also, make sure the house is off the ground for ventilation and to keep my floor dry when it rains. Love me as I love you.

I weigh 83 pounds and need a house that fits my size comfortably, but is still cozy. I want the size of my den to allow me to stretch out when I’m hot or curl up when I’m cold. Sleeping I just need my own body heat to keep me warm. Cover my outdoor bedroom with a cool water-filled bed in the summer and a waterproof cedar-filled dog bed in the winter. I’m getting very excited. I know you love me.

I don’t ask much of my owner except food, water, shelter and LOVE. Love me as I love you. hydee
