I've seen concepts like this before, but this is by far the most aesthetically pleasing yet.

I remember blogging about something like this a few years ago but this one seems like a better design. At my previous house, with no fenced area for the dogs, I would've taken two! Now they have a fenced yard to play in - not that we don't have the occasional accidental wanderer.

This would be ideal for my dogs, but they have a bad habit of shedding their collars a whole too many times, even the toughest ones, and the collars & tags become lost forever. Even though our backyard is completely fenced in they sometimes get lose because the fuel oil or propane delivery guy accidentally forgot to latch the gate! UGGHHHHH!!!!

WOOFFFFF!!!!!!!
