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

By Simone Design Blog @HomeSpire

Hello everyone,

Today, is eco day and its 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?

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!

Simone
