05 | Video: let's build a dog park

Hello, Wonderland!
I was hoping to recruit some help for a project. I realized while looking after a friend's dog recently that we don't have a good area to let dogs off-leash if their recall isn't fantastic. I'd like to design and build a dog park here. Ideally two separate fenced areas, in case some pets don't play well with others, double gated and considerably more interesting than plain empty fields.
The thing is, although I've trained and rescued dogs, I haven't worked construction. I could use a hand with manual labor. We don't have currency in Wonderland, but if you aren't moved to volunteer out of the goodness of your heart, I'll see what I can come up with for a barter economy. Options include home-cooked meals, dog training, and fiction or poetry on topics of your choice, for starters.
Give me a call or stop by room 69 on the 9th floor this afternoon if you're interested, darlings!

Either would work, and I can get the supplies from the closet for either. And quick concrete as well so we can ensure inability to dig beneath.
What about a multi level fountain. Kind of like the decorative ones, but copper for germs and such, and then different size dogs can drink from one device? Would that work?
So like a playground, truly, but with four legs in mind?

I'll leave the fence decision at your discretion.
That fountain is a charming idea.
Yeah. A fenced in field is better than nothing by a long shot, but having a large, varied space gives dogs a little more room to adjust to each other if they're not used to interacting, and some environmental stimulation is nice for keeping them from getting bored. Bored dogs tend to wreak havoc, so it's nice for them to get their energy out, mental as well as physical.
A couple benches for humans might be appreciated, too. [But let's be honest, she's mostly thinking about the dogs.]

Okay. I can run a few things down. If you want. I mean, I just realized I'm already trying to head this project and it's yours not mine.
no subject
Not yet. Want to meet me outside the mansion and consider options?
And don't be silly. With that attitude, I might have to appoint you construction foreman. Thanks for jumping in, Barbie.

No, thank you. I hadn't realized until I started thinking about this how much I miss having projects to work on. Just glad this one comes from happiness and not just keeping people alive.
no subject
You're right. It's nice when something isn't just about survival. And I've been itching for a project to work on here.
See you soon.
