Frances Conklin recently engaged Arnzen Building Construction to refurbish the exterior of the big dog, which meant a new roof, new paint & new ears.
Although the dog is closed for guests to lodge within it they want him to continue to look nice for the years ahead as he will remain an Idaho roadside attraction. They have also retired from making chainsaw carvings however the studio is slowly reconfiguring to be an exhibit of examples of their work done over all the years. They're open on a casual basis, which means catch them when they're there, or phone ahead to make an appointment. No charge to visit. Postcards and copies of our book telling the story of Dog Bark Park are available there for sale.
