This picture here is about what it looks like today, this was taken last March but the only difference is there is no plywood up for the whelping pen and I have water and electricity with lights in the kennels now. I have more young dogs now then I have ever had at one time and a few have tried to chew on my 2x4"s that hold the houses up but that is about it. I butted the boards when I built it but as they have shrunk I am left with a good gap and I just wash the solids out the back.
