Sparky the helpful rottweiler |
Rottweilers are very helpful dogs. They are best as kitchen help. If you make something that you need to disappear quickly and without a trace, call a rottie. They are very discrete about it too, they will deny that they ever ate a thing. Sparky helped me out this afternoon, but it was in the dog yard rather than the kitchen.
|
It started as 3, 2"x6"x12's, and 9, 5/4"x6"x12' deck boards |
The 12' long platform that had been part of Playstation K9 had originally been in Sparky's kennel and it went back over there. Consequently, I needed a new one in the dog yard, so Sparky helped me build one this afternoon.

Sparky says measure twice, cut once |
|
Typical supervisor, taking it easy in the shade while I work in the sun. |
I incorporated two of my A-frames as supports for the platform. The dogs like them as shade shelters and the trianglar shape is a strong support. There is also a ground level platform in front of the A-frames that I may elevate a bit. There is one more element to be added, another taller platform with stairs, coming soon.
|
Always willing to help when asked. |

A rottweiler's idea of "branding" |

Sparky was not satisfied with the level and joint between the sections. |
|
Looking good now |
|
Just the right height for rottweiler loving. |

This was taken out of the upstairs window of the house. It shows all the current elements of Playstation K9 and three dogs using three different levels. |

Honestly, you should write a book. You are hilarious. Have you ever read the books by Jon Katz about his border collies? Of course the irony of his surname can't be beat ;)
Your post is very helpful, thank you. The Rottweiler was called many names over the years and Rottie, Rott, Rottweil Metzgerhund and the Butcher’s Dog are among its nicknames. It is considered one of the most intelligent and responsive dogs. Also, it is a particularly popular dog breed thanks to the strength that it emanates.
