In two different houses, I have built a sunroom that has become a dog room. In the first house, I really planned it as a sun room, but the dogs, dog beds, etc., took over. In the second house, I planned it as a dog room and there was no doubt of its purpose.
But being the silly owner, I decided the dogs should be comfortable, so I gave them the couch and loveseat and chair from the old den as their personal dog couches. What I envisioned was something like this (No, this is MY couch and they are on it only when I am there):
And, of course, my goal was to never get the poor abused dog having to sleep on hard furniture, such as this:
So, you want to see the end result of my being nice and giving them actual furniture in their room? First, a disclaimer. Yes, I am a guy. So everything can be fixed with Duct Tape. Well, almost everything.

I’ve just spent a little time perusing your site and loving your beautiful herd. I also have a love of duct tape and bless the person who invented it. But I laughed out loud at the current furniture. Good one.
My husband just duct taped our windows in the manor house living room. It’s ok because they could use a paint job anyway, but with this latest storm of the century, the wind was coming in. Love duct tape.
This is SO funny and so husky typical too! LOL The current furniture doesnt look as comfy or as much fun to destroy as the previous two…. darn it! I had better not let Rya & Shamook see the frankencouch, I dont want them getting any ideas..LOL!! Love your site and your sibes are just beautiful.

I love the current furniture! Sibes do tend to get a bit overexcited with their own stuff. Dashi decided that a kennel with a door wasn’t good enough and modified it to a kennel with only three walls – sort of an open-plan kennel… unfortunately it apparently needed the fourth wall to keep it square so he now lives in a three-walled, sagging-roofed kennel – but he still maintains the view is much better this way! You gotta love a dog with an opinion.
I HAD THAT CORDOVAN COUCH!!! Something about getting two male rottweiler puppies at the same time
The stories you and Mr. Wild Dingo and I could share…
Just going through the site more deeply and enjoying the stories and your writing very much.
I meant Mrs. Wild Dingo, though I’m sure Mr. has some as well…
You should see the interior of my car!!
Just found your website and absolutely love it! Siberians at their best/worse.
The poor couches look just like my futon- minus the duct tape! It doesn’t take them long to destroy ANYTHING. However, they make up for their destructive side by being so loving, funny, and smart. Did I forget stubborn and escape artists??? Nah, never!
I can totally relate to that. My Dogue de bordeaux, Griffen, started out with a funky purple 2 seater couch, after that was eaten he got a plush squishy bed, after that went the way of the couch he got a thick piece of foam.
He’s now sleeping on a thin hessian mat.
We’ll see how long that lasts.

Mom showed this to Dad, and he was laughing so hard he had tears streaming down his face. He also said something to the effect of “Well, I guess YOUR dogs aren’t so bad…” I have no idea what he means by that!
(Mom and Dad are always trying to ‘donate’ us to the other person….)

I have not laughed so much in awhile!!!! This was awesome & I loved the furniture pics!!!!! I love to see dogs that rule the house!!
I loved your story the photos were a hoot. I have lost my sunroom to the dogs as well as our Show dogs grew by a few . I also gave them a nice love seat to sit on and and look out into the woods to watch for squirrels and Deer. I could trust the older ones but the news kids it became a giant chew toy!!! LOL
I really had a good laugh as I could relate to what occurred , I look forward to future posts..
