Norm's new house

Although I really really wanted to build a garden-top dog house for Norman this summer, after the intense fence project, we decided we had had enough building for one summer. So, after some recommendations from friends and intense internet research, I nervously bought the igloo.  Nervous because I wasn't sure how the igloo was going to gel with my backyard decor, and most of all because he has never even gone into a dog house before, and I read some dogs simply refuse.

I put one of his old dog beds into it hoping that would "trick" him into thinking it was just a bed with a top on it.
