Squirt loves his House
Meet Squirt. He’s our adorable little Chihuahua who was the inspiration for this first modular dog house model and he LOVES his new home.
We found squirt over 3 years ago while driving through Downtown Houston. We saw this little dog running down the sidewalk as if he knew where he was going. With no owner in sight, we pulled over, got out the truck, and followed him into some woods. There was no one or anything there and after he came upon the edge of the bayou cliff, he turned around, sat there and looked at us (shivering by the way). I sat down next to him and allowed him to come to me. After holding this little guy for a few minutes, he was clearly a keeper and we took him home.
He picked up the name “Squirt” because he would pee every time we approached him because of being so afraid. That reaction eventually went away, but the name stuck. haha. But I’ve always wanted to build something for our dogs and have always had designs in mind. At the time of this first model, which we call “The Loft”, we were living in Live Oak Lofts near downtown and because the windows were raised off the ground, there was no way for our dog to look out the window. One day we realized that Squirt was jumping up to the top part of the couch so that he could look out, and bam!, the Loft idea was born.
This first model is very simple and clean design. We love modular / pre-fab home designs and this is where the inspiration comes from. It’s designed to be an indoor home and works well next to a couch or other piece of furniture that would make it easy for your dog to jump to the top and chill. We will have pricing and production details soon, but feel free to contact us with any questions or to place a custom order.
