Our New Walls

I've been asked by several of our clients why we're putting up walls in place of the chain link fencing. For those who remember their tour, we had chain link fencing around each play area. To keep the dogs from getting over-excited by seeing lots of strangers (that is, people who don't work here at Dog Days, but are for example, taking a tour), we have installed FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) which we refer to as "whiteboard." We have started replacing the chain link with drywall (still with the whiteboard installed) and windows. There are two main reasons for this: first, the chain link and whiteboard combination was really hard to keep clean - let's face it, boy dogs will pee on anything vertical! And all that dog hair would get caught in the fence. Second, the less the dogs in the play area see of strangers or strange dogs wandering around our office area, the less excited they are. This is better for the dogs (obviously).

I will say, I do miss the more open feel that we had with the chain link. But it was time we made the change. So the few remaining fences that are chain link will soon be coming down as well.

I am the sole primer/painter, so please be patient as I slowly work my way through priming it all, then painting it all a nice shade of blue. But it will get done!
