Got the Dog House, but where is the roof top? How about the door?

     My smart wife got the dog house from Craigslist. She only spent 80 USD, half the price of the house if we bought one online. She got a brand new one, just out of the box. The seller said he got the dog house and planned to move his dog from the Central Valley here, but later he figured he wouldn't have much time to take care of the dog because of his busy work schedule. He got it and sold it to us.

     We assembled the dog house, a pretty one that even had crown molding. But there were two problems.

     Somehow the roof-top piece was missing. My wife called the seller and also the manufacturer, and both were very helpful. The seller called back one day later and said he had found the piece in his garage. We will pick it up tomorrow. The manufacturer was also very helpful. They said if we couldn't find the piece from the box, they could mail us a new part. But it seems that it won't be necessary now.

     Another problem is the door. The dog house looks very nice, but there is no door. So the dog can get in/out freely. But in case we need to make sure the dog stays in at night, or when we are not in the house, how can I lock the dog inside the dog house? I need to design a way to lock Murphy in.

     My wife contacted the foster family today. The lady said she sent Murphy to be neutered today. Poor dog.............
I know it hurts, but its ok.

     Our gardener came on Tuesday and cleaned up most of the Morning Glory(something like dogs to chocolate). I still need to make sure all the small pieces get thrown away.

     I think we need to go to a pet store tomorrow to buy a leash and some dog food. We need to travel to Sacramento to pick up Murphy on Saturday at 10 o'clock in the morning.
