We're in the Dog Days of Summer so what better time

to have a canine-inspired Repurposeful Monday?

Yard sales and Craigslist are terrific sources for finding a used baby crib:

Gail at My Repurposed Life offers a fabulous tutorial

on how to convert a crib into a classy crate.  Check it out.

Home Talk recently featured this ingenious Industrial Chic

dog feeding and watering station:

You can view the construction tutorial here.  I'm no building

expert but this station is do-able for the novice DIYer.

This pet station was created from a vintage chest of

drawers that also provides blanket and toy storage:

Genius!

Need a quick replacement for a water dispenser?

Clean a large plastic juice jug and fill it with water.  Place it in
a deep casserole dish and poke a hole near the bottom.   Water will

keeps the cat's food elevated so the dog can't eat it:
