Lightbulb Dog kennels/tort houses

Groupon are selling really nice dog kennels in their 'Goods' section. Wish I could work out how to add a link or a picture Look like they would be easy to convert into luxury tort accommodation. Ordered mine!

yes

Very smart kennel, you might want to cover the door with that flappy plastic stuff for when the weathers bad.

better still make a ramp that lifts up to be a shuttable door for nights and add some cheap insulation, I always found that kennels where the roof opened were easier for cleaning and mine had added heat bulbs.

This is what we did with our old dog kennel, it has worked really well, the Hermanns hibernated in there for the first time this winter with no problems. It is true though that a hinged or removable roof would make access easier.
