Ever see someone walking down a snowy street with a doghouse in hand?
Well that was my gang last Sunday. We were alerted by a post on Buy Nothing Hintonburg that there was a dog house available on the corner of Gladstone and Irving and 20 minutes later we were out the door going to pick it up.
Buy Nothing is an interesting phenomena. People are literally giving away almost everything on this site: TVs, plants, pots and pan, even half eaten boxes of cereal. And guess what? There are takers for everything! Well... almost everything. Glosette Girl tried to give away some teaching books earlier this year and there were no takers :(
Oh well. Guess open boxes of Cheerios are more interesting.
Anyways, if you haven't done so yet, check out whether there is a "Buy Nothing" group in your area. There probably is and you will be surprised at what you can find.
As for me, well I am now a proud owner of a doghouse, which takes pride of place in my backyard. By the way, I don't have a dog.

Yes You had me going /wondering until the last sentence. “Dog. What dog?” That’s really a hoot ...a doghouse for a cat.
