Giving Jack a "bedroom"

So I've turned the little cupboard under the stairs in the basement my work office. I was working there and Jack was at my feet. He's getting so big that I really don't have much space.  I was looking at the wall behind the monitor on the desk and realized that behind that wall was probably some space since the stairs go down and then turn right at that point.

I got a knife and cut into the drywall to create a hole and sure enough, it was just as I thought.  There is about a 6 ft x 8ft space right there that is about 28 inches high.  In fact, there are some electrical wires right there to provide electricity to the other rooms outside of that.  So I bought some more wire, some electrical boxes and switches, etc.  And wired in a switch and a light.  I got some padding and put in there.  Jack now responds to "Got get in your bedroom" as I point to the rug that covers the entrance to his room.  

He'll go in there and nap for quite a while while I work throughout the day. Sometimes when I kick off a build (compiling source code) that takes a while. I'll crawl in there and chill with him.

This pic I took in "Portrait mode"
on my phone at the Maverick
on the way down to St. George.
What a good looking boy!

Jack loves kayaking at Pineview
with Oliver while I swim.


Jack inside his bedroom. Notice his
Mom and Dad picture up on the wall. I also put 
up other English Setter Female pics
I got off the internet.  The boy needs
some "Puppy Pinups". :)

I love when Jack stretches his legs out like this.
He looks so tall when he does this.

Jack loves his duck so much, he sometimes
will chew him to shreds. Literally.

Jack will fetch a disk now.  Can't catch it in the
air like my brother Eric's dog.  But he can return it.
