Update photos of Toots new puppies

I think they are about a month old.  and already figured out how to escape out of  their dome.  So I decided to work on the big dome to give them more space to roam around and play.  But I realize the dome is way to big for them. And besides, they know how to get back inside and sleep in their small dome.  So I took them back to their original 1V geodesic dome

Anyway here are photos of them inside the big dome.

view of the dome. 

this time I used a 2x50ft chicken wire and only cost almost $9 at Lowe's

I bought two rolls. 

I covered it with tarp and planning on using more

I also bought a hammock at Walmart for only $20 bucks.  and it held my fat ass!  

I am so in love with it.

Here's a close up of the dome.  As you can see, it is chicken wire held together by zip ties.  I used about 200 zip ties from Harbor Freight for only $4.00

Haven for Cats in Macon Georgia

I was doing laundry one day on Rocky Creek Rd in Macon.  While waiting for my clothes to finish washing, I got bored and decided to walk around the premises to kill time and see what is going on around here.  and I found this awesome friendly for feline facility.  But what I really love is their use of toddler's bed.

Toddler's bed of all shape and sizes are use as cats bed.  

I wonder would this work for my pitbulls.  They just like to ungutt pillows and blankets, that's the only thing I'm concern of.  But I love the idea.  It gets them off the floor. Knowing my pits, they'll probably end up under neat them. but definitely on them.

Toot and her new puppies

Here are photos of Toot's new puppies.  These are her third batch.  She is so getting fix after this.  This was totally not planned.  But nature will happen.  So its official, Brownie is biological father.  They are already trying to walk on all four.  They definitely got Brownie's powerful super legs.    Brownie have no problem leaping our 4ft tall fence and higher.  If I had the time and resource, I would have definitely trained him or freeze bee tournament, well that's Princess arena, anything that showcase his acrobatic skills.

So there are four whites, that's showing gold in their unercoat, 3 black-n-whites and one golden brown.  He is so cute. 

Geodesic dome for dogs

I've been super busy lately.  I didn't even get a chance to let you guys know that Toot gave birth to 8 puppies over a week ago.  She gave birth in my room.  I bought her a plastic swimming pool so she wouldn't make a mess and I placed a tarp on the floor.  and I'm so glad I did that.  But my room is definitely a temporary place for her.  So after a couple of days, I hurry up to build her a 1V geoodesic dome, made out of metal conduit.  I bought 25 pieces of 10 ft tall 1/2 in diameter metal pipes from Lowes at $2.44 each.  I cut them in half an end up with 50 pieces.  But I just needed 25 pieces to create this 1V geodesic dome.  So I have enough for another dome.

this is a sample of a 1V geodesic dome

here is another sample of a 1V geodesic dome

The idea is to wrap chicken wire or metal fencing wire around the dome and cover it with tarp, so Toot should have a safe place for her and her newborn pups.  

So here is what I ended up with.  I completed the frame in one day.  

Cut the pipes in half, so you have 5ft tall pieces.  and you need 25 of them

Flattened the ends, about 1.5 inches on  each end of the pipes or struts.

Drill holes on each end, about .75 inches away from edges.

and you put the pieces together with 1/4 two inches long nuts, bolts and washers.  and Viola!, you have a dome for dogs!  or I have a dome for my pitbull and her puppies.  Well its definitely cheaper than purchasing a dog kennel for $200 bucks.  and this is way portable and easy to disassemble, in case you'r renting like  we do.

Here she is below, with her puppies and all.

I just used zip ties to hold the wire mesh and bungee chords to secure the opening, till I can complete her door.
