Eco-Day~Dog House Designs and Which Would You Choose?

Today, is all about dogs, specifically ~ dog house designs. Dog houses allow dogs to have a comfortable living space while keeping your house clean and tidy.

Let’s talk about dogs, it’s a topic that’s guaranteed to bring a smile to everyone’s face.  It’s also a guaranteed conversation starter.  Just mention you have a dog and immediately everyone wants to know what breed, age, sex, and color of that pet.  It’s almost like everyone around you went into an instant relaxation mode.  There’s always a story to tell about the amusing antics of your dog. Many people treat animals like their best friends or even family members; they eat together and sleep together.

We have all read articles that “toot” the benefits of owning a dog, these benefits include:

• Improves Your Mood
• Controls Blood Pressure Better Than Drugs
• Encourages You To Get Out And Exercise
• Help With Social Support
• Prevents Loneliness and Provide Unconditional Love
• Reduces Stress—Sometimes More Than People

With all that animals do for us, it’s only fair that we make sure they get the star treatment as a thank you.

Remember, when dog house designs where in the backyard and had no particular appearance? Just plain with a doggie door?

Well, dog houses have evolved over time. With interiors that rival your own home.  Here are a few examples of how Fido’s house is an architectural wonder!

The water saving roof dog house.  Very forward thinking!

Great use of re-purposing an old crate.

Cute.  I hope the flowers are appreciated for what they are and not what its really meant there for.

Your dog can enjoy the summer and not be affected by the sun.

This house has better natural lighting than my home.

This 11-foot tall Victorian doggie mansion, features vaulted celings, hardwood floors, heating and air conditioning, hand-made curtains, pricey wallpaper, screened doors and windows, mini-blinds, and landscaping complete with a white picket fence. There’s going to be plasma TV installed so the dogs Animal Planet which is their favorite show. Some dogs are just spoilt rotten!

Is your dog getting too lazy with too much pampering?  Maybe it’s in need of some cardio exercise?

For the absolutely adorable small dogs, here’s a wonderful doggie design house to fit for a king. He’ll have no Napoleonic issues here.

Celebrities love their pets too.  They travel in style, no crate for them.  First class all the way.

It only makes sense that their owners would buy them a home of their own with all the modern amenities needed for Fido.

This pink dog home includes miniature Philippe Starck furniture, heat, air conditioning and even a black crystal chandelier and black ceiling moldings. At a price of $325,000!

The interior.

This dog mansion comes complete with ornately carved front doors, red clay tiles on each turret, terra cotta floors and even miniature wrought iron window flower baskets.

And, it’s Mediterranean themed interior.

Finally, in case you think Princess hasn’t been spoilt enough.  How about gifting her own beautifully designed bamboo hammock? Wander what she’s dreaming about?

The his and hers dog house.

On a personal note, I’m a HUGE animal lover, specifically dogs.

I, unfortunately, lost mine, Tiffany,  in 2006. For me, it was one of the saddest days of my life. As a result of owning Tiffany, I elected the Humane Society of America and the American Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals as two of my charities of choice to which I donate to regularly.

If you participate and tell us which one of these dog houses you would give Snoopy, you can tell us by the number,  I will choose one winner at random and donate $25 to each of these charities in honor of a favorite pet of yours.

As always, I love to hear what you think. Have a really great day!
