We went to Home Depot with some friends so that they could purchase the wood for their cornhole boards that Aaron was going to make them (for a small fee... of 8 Dogfish Head Punkin' beers). But we couldn't possibly go into the store without actually purchasing something ourselves... so we made a raised feeder for the pups! They were both leaning over a lot to eat, and Gus is only going to get bigger (boy is 50 lbs and he's not even 6 months old), so it only made sense to bring their food and water to the right height!
I supervised (and enjoyed some of the remaining home-brewed Raspberry Wheat) while Aaron build the cornhole boards. Supervising is a tough job. Then it was time to plan out the construction of the feeder. We settled on using a LOT more wood glue than we ever had before because those darn pieces were just a little too little and flimsy to us and we didn't think that they would easily support the increasingly large amounts of food that Gus will consume in a sitting... Luckily, we had more than enough wood glue and plenty of automobile-like fluids to help keep pressure on it while that wood glue dried.
He did a great job of constructing it, and then it was painted and ready for use! After much sniffing and inspection, the pups approved!
Hopefully this is the last DIY we have until we move to VA (where we are planning on buying a house and I'm sure we will have plenty of projects...)!
Enjoyed reading about all the activities!
