A modern cabana that's for the dogs

I'm on a little staycation this week but I wanted to post a few things I saw over the weekend at Sunset magazine's Celebration Weekend. (I wrote about my visit to the Sunset test kitchen last week).

One of the big draws each year at this event is the "dream house." This year, it was something called the Modern Cabana, a space-conscious, prefab building that is dreamy and eco-friendly all at the same time.

The cutest addition to the dream house on display was this dog cabana at your left, an idea that the folks from Modern Cabana just came up with before the event. The dog house is made of wood and the grass and flowers on the roof to help keep the dog house cool while adding a flare of green hipness. I don't have the exact dimensions, but I can tell you my 65-pound Lab could easily make her way into this puppy abode.

Downside? It's pricey at 500 bucks. That said, I've seen some dog homes and kennels that cost as much.

    I'd get it for my dogs but my cats would evict them, but that is a really nice dog house. Thanks for that idea
