We field turfed our garage for our dogs. That's just how we roll :)
Before you decide to do something insane like this, remember, TURF IS REALLY F-ING HEAVY. Like a TON, each ROLL.
Luckily a friend of ours has a bobcat and as willing to help us...probably out of just sheer curiosity :) Why would someone DO this he probably asked himself :)
You need 3 strong men, and one woman who is like, MAJORLY BUFF from working out...like totally...



It wasn't as bad as it COULD have been...and the look on the dogs faces when we let them in there was just PURE JOY. Ok well...except for Ace...he was totally freaked out :)






I have to say,the dog that was the MOST excited about the new area is Even. Although she is normally the most excited about EVERYTHING. But she was just SO happy!
Because of the snow and ice, she can't be off leash outside in case she slips and lands on that elbow...still little things healing and we can't take any chances. So she gets to run all over the turf...she was SOOO happy :)
See? Love that smile :)
It's so much fun seeing her being a real dog again, she is running full time with the rest of the dogs in the house, plays with her sister, trains with me a bit and just enjoys her life so very much. She eats every, little, bit up :)



And for your viewing pleasure :) The Turf Party :)
I am totally going to be working dogs tonight...So awesome...

So jealous of your turfed garage!! That space would work so well for a little Sheltie! :) Does the turf go right on top of the cement and then that makes it cushiony enough?
Awww thanks Marla :) You are so sweet!
Chris--yes the turf is on top of the cement. It has several pounds of rubber pellets and sand as a "cushion"...it is very nice and supportive.
