You've finally scored the house of your dreams (at a steal! thanks, subprime fiasco). How is your mutt going to feel if you stick him in a common old dog house? LIke a poor relative, that's how.

Luckily, you can extend your aestethic to your hound's home, too, by having a custom mutt mansion built. Both La Petite Maison and Jimbo's House Houses (how's that for contrasting brand images?) can design and build a dogacile that will set your tail wagging.

Jimbo's offers unlimited design flexibility, with a choice of flooring (carpet, marble, linoleum and more), electricity, AC, heating, and double-pane windows. Most of its promotional models have a rustic charm that would fit well in a heavily wooded retreat.

La Petite Maison features more upscale models such as the trendy Georgian, chalets and chateaus. It also offers model reproductions of your house in doggy size, an interesting concept which could be fun when also extended to birdhouses, mailboxes and tree houses.

The same structures can be also used indoors as doggy time-out rooms. With one of these beauties, husbands that end up in the dog house might retain a shred of their dignity.
