When Mom and Dad brought home a whole slew of boxes from their trip to Ikea over the weekend I just knew it was gonna be a great day! So we set out Sunday morning to put everything together so I could find out what wonderful goodies they had bought me.

I was extremely involved in the entire process – helping mom decipher the instructions and gathering tools.

Ok fine, that’s not really how it happened….

…but I was really tired, and it was hot, and I have these cumbersome paws. Don’t judge.

When it was finally built (thanks mom!) I was through the roof excited that the Ikea Boxes had provided a brand-new outdoor throne for me!

I have so much more room for activities now!

The new outdoor throne is definitely a huge upgrade from the rock hard stone bench I had before.

So thanks Mom and Dad, and Ikea, for giving me a spiffy new place to guard my backyard from. And yes mom, I’ll try to remember to wipe my feet first.
