[B]A lot of good suggestions but I do want to spend the money to also make this a play area. I have a swing out there and it would be nice to sit on the swing while Jonah plays. And I want it to be an arrangement where I don't have have to put my coat and shoes on when I am letting him out, though at this point it will take training for him to go out without me. Now, he will stay by the door until I am outside too. We have a business in town called Paw Friendly Landscapes who I am going to work with to see what they can design and hope to post the results for all to see.
