 Let's say hi. Oh, he's waving. Did you always waving hi? Hi everybody, welcome back to the channel Drew here from Lone Fox, and we have Winston here today Just for the intro. He'll be popping up throughout the video, but I did want to include him in the intro here I've had him for a little over a week now and something I can say right now is puppies are a lot of work you guys I knew puppies were a lot of work But I actually didn't realize how much work they are because you really have to like monitor them 24-7 And I've just never had that before so it's just something new for me. However, I'm enjoying it so much I love him. He's the cutest little boy, but today we are actually going to be a puppy at proofing the house And I kind of started this a few days ago. I just haven't filmed an intro yet because we No Winston not on this Why yeah, okay That's called pee on the Pillowcase so as I was saying is that we are going to be puppy proofing this house And another thing is I am going to be adding kind of a porch potty Balcony area for him to go to the bathroom because bulldogs do have shorter legs I don't want him going up and down the stairs So I don't even want him to be able to go down the stairs first of all because a lot of my stuff is downstairs Like that's where I store all my vintage items That's where I store all my supplies paints and all that stuff He could really get into upstairs is more of like living you know So I wanted to section off an area where he could be up here But we're gonna be adding some gates some drainage systems some porch potty some doggy doors into the walls So if any of you guys happen to be getting a puppy or have a dog Or does any of these things might be helpful to you in your journey of owning a little furry friend? Feel free to check the description box below or any of the links that I'm sharing because I also have just a bunch of Favorites that I found so far. Let's dive on in Drew's had Winston for about two or three days now And we don't want him to get too used to go into the bathroom like on the front grass because that's not where he's gonna go He's gonna start to go to the bathroom on the porch. So even though Drew is gone We still need to get this doggy door installed So I'm gonna do it today. So you're stuck with just me me and Maria They do sit in Winston let's install a doggy door So originally what we're gonna do is we're gonna arch this and have that be a little bar area But we have other fun plans for a bar But now what we're thinking is on the other side is a balcony And so we were gonna do a doggy door right here for Winston Potentially turn this into kind of like a landing spot with like a counter It's like put your keys and mail and all things like that and houses in the 1920s and 30s often had like a phone Niche or a place for your phone to go. So I kind of suspect that's what this was Maybe it didn't have a door or maybe it had like a glass door on it And it's kind of a funny balcony because it's quite small It's like too small for chairs or anything like that. So there's not really a point to it So it looks out over the courtyard since they live on the second floor and they wouldn't want to have to take Winston down every time He needs to go to the bathroom. We're gonna make this his little porch party area. That is where the doggy door is gonna go Okay, the doggy door that we got is from a brand called the bony. It's from Amazon Drew will have it linked for you, but it seems like it's a pretty straight forward Process it comes with a template So what we do first is we find the studs hang this up Throw a hole in each corner cut out the ball with a jigsaw and then we do it on the other side of the exterior wall As you know, this is an old house, so the walls are lathe and plaster which means you can't use a stud finder Get a really skinny drill bit and just start drilling tiny little holes in your wall and tell you the stuff Okay, now we are going to drill a hole in each corner so that we can jigsaw the wall out The jigsaw broke So this would be better Also one kind of fun thing I wanted to show you if you have never seen the inside of lathe and plaster walls But if your house is old pre-war for sure, it will be made of lathe and plaster So these are like wood strips and then they plaster over the top So this is like the part that we would see the plaster squeezes through and these right here are called plaster keys And it's like what makes the walls extra strong if you're ever hanging a picture in like an old house And you're hammering and nail into the wall and you hear like things falling inside the walls That's um these little plaster keys breaking off and falling inside the walls actually I think horse hair too Oh, yeah, we found horse hair when we were doing the fireplace So yeah, sometimes they put horse hair in there to make it extra strong. So this is what it looks like as I suspected There's the two studs right underneath the windows check to make sure this fits And it does What we do now is we take this template that it came with Put it inside you drill a hole in each one of these and it goes through the exterior And then on the exterior you can see where the three holes are which you can then line up Daylight like daylight daylight and this just basically gives us a place to line up that paper template And then do more holes and then cut again The jigsaw literally caught on fire. I saw a flame come out of there Definitely not to be used with a better powered jigsaw because you will burn it out And it's wiggling and I want to just push it out We're class Okay, the holes are drilled. Let's see The door is complete final verdict. I would say it took me About five hours that was because I didn't have the proper blades the outside the circular saw where it's totally fine If I had had like a masonry blade for it And I think it would have gone really smoothly drew on his way back right now So I'm sure he wants to take Winston through the door for the very first time This is a porch potty and I ordered this straight from the porch potty website And this is how it comes you actually have to assemble the base of it It comes with a little plastic tray And I also opted for the one with the sprinkler system And if you do opt for that one My dad mentioned to me that I should get some plumbing tape to fasten and resecure every single kind of connection point That you're connecting up because it is all plastic and it's not the strongest ever This small white hose here is the drainage hose and I also ended up picking a cream color Gardening hose up online, which is perfect because it matches color of my house and we're going to be running it up the wall To give you an idea of what I'm doing I got a PVC pipe that I'm running from the balcony where the porch potty is Over to the gutter that actually flows off the curb and into the street See, we made a mistake Okay That's insane It's a little too... That looks nice So much better So now essentially the porch potty should drain from this white hose into the PVC pipe that then goes into the gutter that we created the hole in We're going to try this and see if it works with just water I mean Oh, I guess it doesn't need like that much Is there a way to like tell? I mean, there's really no way to tell I guess I can like... As long as there's not a puddle Yeah, true. I guess I can pour a whole bunch in here and if it drains Oh my good I think it's working Oh I also ordered some live sod from the porch potty website, which I purchased all of these I'm not affiliated with them in any way But my parents have used theirs with our dogs back home for so long And so I know how great this product is and I wanted to have an area for him to go to the bathroom upstairs And they offer the sod in a subscription plan so you can get like a new one every two months, which is what I opted for Wait, it smells so good If you got the porch potty with the sprinklers, you also are going to want to take your sod and cut that out Now it does come with actual turf that has the cutouts already But if you have a puppy it recommends that you use real grass just for the scent And Winston has been using this like crazy you guys Now I did not want to risk Winston at all being able to put his head through these in any way shape or form Um, and so I ended up adding this metal meshing just around just for a little extra security Guys, I am genuinely so sad. He just pooped right there. Do you see it? Like I mean He pooped and then I missed it. I missed the shot But he did. He's such a good boy First off, if I sound a little congested, I am beyond congested And I wanted to share with you these dog gates or baby gates If you have a dog or a baby that you need to secure We got these ones on amazon as many of the items in this video And I wanted to share these ones because they're semi permanent meaning that they kind of stay in place But the great thing is is they kind of also mesh with the decor as well in here So as you could see brown frame and then there's these two screws on the side We're able to tighten it into the doorway and there's actually these pieces that come with it You can add more onto either end. They give you kind of like a variety of sizes So you can adjust it to whatever size this one here is actually to the stairwell going downstairs And then this one's to the living room and I wanted to section these spaces off because I don't want Winston to be able to go downstairs And I also don't want him to be able to go in the living room as of now I kind of wanted to cure him off to just this portion of the home Which includes like my bedroom in the dining room area if you need any of these to section off They're really nice because I love how you can open and close them really easily So this right here is little winnie's house and he's currently in there I just woke him up from his nap Well, I just put him in here to sleep and then I was like I gotta film this still Look, he's like closing his eyes. He probably will fall asleep I wanted to share this with you because I got this in amazon as well I will link it for you But I thought it was a really great crate especially for puppies But they do have them in different sizes. So the reason being it comes with this divider on the inside Can you kind of see this piece here that divides up the crate? So there's not enough room But you actually don't want to give them enough space where they can go potty over here because they will But they won't go potty in their bed area. At least he's so good and he's not like look He's just a sweetest little boy. Let's see. Oh Hi winnie The reason I also love this is it kind of looks like a furniture piece You can actually use this as a full on nightstand if you wanted to like buy your bed So if you can imagine that could be kind of a nightstand over there by my bed The wood tones really pretty and the price point is incredible But another ingenious feature they have a door here and they have a door here So if you need to use this kind of like tucked into a space or pushed in this way You have the option to have a door on either side Which I think is great and the divider makes it easy to divide it up You can move it as your puppy grows and I think this probably will be a pretty good size even when he's full grown So i'm pretty happy with this crate I thought it would also be fun to share some of my favorites Even though I've only had these items for about a week or so now They definitely have come in very handy since getting winston You are a new puppy owner or you're thinking of getting one or you have one Some of these can be great for you. This fox toy I kind of featured this in my video of sharing him last time and a lot of you guys have questions on this I found it online. I'll link it for you guys below. It's kind of big. It's honestly as big as him, but It has a little speaker in it. Did you want the fox toy? Something that has been absolutely incredible for my rugs has been full x if you've never used full x I've used this forever because my parents have used it It is an instant carpet spa remover and that is exactly what it is So whenever I clean up a spot a little life hack slash pro tip I'll give you guys fold over the towel fold it over again So it's like in fours and then put it on top and put all your weight on top of it Step on top of that and just jump a few times That's going to soak it up so much more than actually just rubbing the stain or patting it with your hand You really need to step on that spray a generous amount of the full x over the top of that And then fold up your towel again put it on top and then stomp on it again Like stomp on top of the stain and it's going to remove everything from your rug even like light colored rugs absolutely everything So this product right here. It's incredible over 50 years of success And I'm sure it has a billion amazon rave reviews because it really is a great one and I've used it for a long time So it's a no-brainer to pick up when I got him So I actually come to about this product in my last video and I thought it was a great Product because I am bringing him with me places like whenever I'm going somewhere I'm trying to bring him with me So I got him this little seat belt tether and essentially this and goes into your literal seat belt spot So like passenger seat back seat and then this hooks on to the dog's kind of collar or their harness Which for me I have a harness just because they're a little bit safer and this one's from car heart I also got this on amazon so I'll link it for you guys But this one is great because you can just put it in it's universal this just clips right onto them So it basically kind of keeps them more Mobilized in one spot so they can't kind of go all over the car And also if you were to get in some sort of accident it kind of keeps them tethered The little harness I got is from car heart and I actually have a pair of pants in this exact same color way from car heart It is so Cute this is a size medium and I'm probably gonna have to get them a larger one soon You guys saw me actually pick up a harness that kind of olive green one in my last video at petco And we don't even know how to use that one So i'm going to be returning that and then his leash as well This is kind of like a rope leash with this really nice brass hardware thought I would share the little addition Which is a little potty bag holder and that my friends kind of includes this little doggy proofing video We added gates all around the upstairs just so he can't go downstairs And he's also kind of sectioned off to a smaller area of the house We added in the porch potty with the doggy door with the drainage system And we also are going to get the sprinkler line set up too because the porch potty has these sprinklers that actually pop up Which i'm not able to share in this video because the hose We just need a sunny bright day for the hose to kind of soften up so that we can string it up correctly But it does have sprinklers We're going to be able to turn it on a time setting to water the grass and it also is going to clean out Kind of the grass. So yes, I know this video was definitely unrelated to home decor slash kind of diy But i'm sure so many of you guys have pets out there Or can be helpful if you're getting one in the future and Winston wanted to say bye too I'll see you all back on the channel this sunday for a new video. Bye everyone
