Hola, and welcome to la casa de perros!!!
La casa de perros is 64 square feet of luxury accomodations for the large and furry among us. It includes a private entrance...
(note previous accomodations in background)
...as well as the "servants entrance"...
Here we see spokesmodel Zoe as she prepares to demonstrate the operation of the private entrance.
La casa de perros has plenty of room to stretch out, as Zeus demonstrates.
... and it is even large enough for the whole family (left to right, first picture: Zeus, Zack, Zoe)...
La casa de perros even has an electricity run tapping off the main house...
...which is buried in PVC conduit for the protection of its guests...
...and includes a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt receptacle in case of any problems.
Of course, one might wonder why, given the nature of its residents, la casa de perros needs electricity at all. Well, for one thing, the "staff" doesn't have eyes as good as the residents, so there was some need for lighting.
But the real reason for the electricity is for the comfort of la casa de perros' guests.
(yes, that's an air conditioner)
And of course, in the interests of saving energy, all of the walls and ceiling are fully insulated
We hope you enjoyed your short tour of la casa de perros. Below you will find a brief breakdown of the construction costs.
