Lenore
Weve decided to gradually acclimate Willie to his new surroundings. So as much as Chloe would like to welcome our canine companion and play, Willie will find his first night as our pet to be uneventful. But such is the life of a dog, waiting in boredom, hour after hour, for food, or play, or attention; perhaps an affectionate pat on the head.
My clever housemate has strung a walker line along the side of the pool where the pool decking parallels a garden. In the far corner we assembled the tool shed where Willie will seek shelter on cool evenings and rainy days. So though anticlimactic, I lead Willie to the line which is suspended just over my head and clip his leash. Then I playfully smack his buttocks.
Your little dog house is at the end of the line.
