In this week’s Celebrity Death Match, we’re pitting two hard-hitting competitors against each other in a duel for the top prize – being the place where Millie Francis curls up to shelter from the wily winter winds.
In the left corner, we have Swamp Cabin. Built from cinderblocks, scrap tin – and a little pluck and desperation – Swamp Cabin makes up in brute strength for what it lacks in looks. It’s tough, it’s durable, it’s ugly as sin.
In the right corner, we have Log Cabin. Don’t let it’s rustic grace and fragrant cedar aroma fool you, Log Cabin is a tough competitor. It beats back fleas, dampness, rain, cold and heat without discrimination.
The two Cabins fight to the death for the same patch of earth and the same purpose. Only one will emerge victorious.
But there’s one more thing neither competitor is counting on – if Millie has her way, both will be spurned, and SHE will rise to walk on two feet, dominate not only the yard, but the house and then the universe. She will lounge all day in bed barking at doorbells on TV, she will bully the cats, and when she must go outdoors, she will suffer cold, heat and rain just to show she will not be subject to anyone – let alone a mere Cabin.
Just look at the malice in her eyes. They say, “Don’t f*** with me, Cabin! I’m the boss!”
Millie’s been reading George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”, hasn’t she? :-) All dogs are created equal, but some are more equal than others…
Oh my… I’m not sure that I understand. Are you saying that your dog (very pretty, btw!) actually lives — or *will* live — outside chained to one of those things? She looks pretty healthy and well-cared-for and her ears don’t look flea-bitten, so I surely must be misunderstanding her living arrangements.
This loyal reader is siding with Millie on this one and spurning *both* contraptions in favor of plenty indoor living with the ones she loves!

that is funny. really funny. :)
Christy, she won’t be chained to anything. She stays outside in a large fenced area while we’re at work and spends the night inside with us, under the covers. :) The purpose of the doghouse is to give her shelter from the weather during the day. However, she seems to hate the thing, so she may choose to stay wet and cold just to avoid it!
Kristin,
Gypsy does the SAME thing….she’s got a nice hole to get into the garage but she’d rather sit in the center of the yard, with her “shoulders” hunched over and her eyes squinty as the rain/snow falls down on her. It’s quite pathetic…but I have discovered she only does that when she knows you’re home. I HAVE caught her using the shelter of the garage. So, really, its all just a ploy to get your pity and be let in. The log cabin is so cute though! All she needs is a little flannel bed. :)
