Dog kennel, but no outdoor dog?

Recently, my husband realized the benefit of home grown and home preserved food.  I wanted to garden, but the last garden I had did nothing but give us the healthiest garden in three counties.  This time, I said I would be happy to, but I wanted a fence.  Off to Lowe's we went, where I was promptly told that garden fencing was out of the question.  He suggested that, if we had to see this fence all the time, it should be better quality than standard garden fencing.  Although not immediately, he ultimately suggested that we should get a dog kennel.  GENIUS.  High walls, door, difficult for critters to get in - it worked BEAUTIFULLY.  So, if you want to garden but garden fencing isn't your thing, just get a dog kennel.  I did, and I love it.
