Ready to Make Dog Stuff?
Besides wanting to show off pictures of Comet, our red GSD mix who is no longer with us, we built this website with mostly FREE step-by-step instructions because we:
- Want to pass along to you the enjoyment we've found in being resourceful - learning to make do with what you have.
- Want to encourage you to use recycled or scrounged materials (i.e., work towards creating a greener planet).
- Can show you how to save money and learn new skills
- Give you a chance to share what you've made (scroll to "CURRENT SPECIAL" below).

Besides our free instructions, we also sell inexpensive plans to build your own:
