Puppy Pen

We are finally at the point where we can do actual puppy preparation! We had decided from the beginning that the best place to set up the long term puppy confinement space would be under the TV in the living room. But before we could we needed to move some outlets. Also, because of the outlet location, we had all of our media center wires exposed and those needed to be stowed away so the pup isn’t inspired to electrocute itself.

So this weekend, brian took all of Sunday to do the electrical work. He dismantled the media center and turned off the power. It required working under the house and drilling thru our floor on the other side of the wall, but finally he was able to mount the outlets inside the cabinetry itself.

Once outlets were installed, it was just a matter of slowly putting everything back together in a way that was organized and could fit inside the cabinet.

He had made a door for the cabinet awhile back but had never put it on. He did that, and then got our old baby gate fencing we use to have around the wood stove when the kids were babies. Voila! The perfect Puppy Pen!

The kids thought it was fun too. Today its a fort. Hopefully in 3 weeks, it will be a new home.
