My wife sent me this pic this AM as I was on my way to get a truckload of wood. I love dogs. This is Libby. No idea what kind of dog she is as she was a rescue but she loves the stove.

I searched to see if there was a thread for your stove and your dog but couldn't find one. I will post more pics when the other two in the house are enjoying the heat.

Let's see your dogs with your stove.

Mods if this is a duplicate thread sorry.

Is that cedar boards on the wall behind the stove? Looks really good
Thanks! I love how it looks too!
It's old barn wood. The barn on the farmstead I grew up on collapsed and my dad stored some of the decent
wood in the Poultry Palace in case it was needed for 'something'. Our porch was that 'something'. :)

I am from the country in the midwest, but wound up in Long Island.

Out here, you can buy (for money) a product called "barnwood", which is factory-made MDF garbageboard with a thin plastic layer on top to make it look vaguely like old weathered wood. The price for simulated old rotten wood is a couple dollars per square foot and up.

I wonder what they'd pay for actual old rotten wood!

When I see that stuff, I always think that all the old farmers back home would be rich if they knew to sell their collapsed old barns to city people.

Around here (and i am sure it is the same in many places), companies will mill regular pine and on one side make it look like old rugged barn wood. It actually looks very good. I have placed it side by side to 1800s old barn and it looks same.
 
You should invest in a slightly bigger bed for her.
That is, in fact, the cat’s bed. But I quit to try to convince a dachshund to make something it doesn’t want to do long ago. The cat sleeps in the dog’s bed and vice versa. Maybe they know better than me...
