On the other hand, I can see the problem with Charlie, though. I have that problem; nowhere to put my pups if I need to, having to walls.
I don't know if Boy will disagree with Ddil, or not, but we all know that the kennel should come back to your house. I hope that happens. I'd be upset, too. :-(
As for your situation, that's not good. Could you buy some throwaway plates, bowls, cups, forks, etc. I know that you don't like to be wasteful, but there are times. It won't help everything, but there'd be no washing them, at least.
And, if possible, could you heat/cook some foods on sheets (or make boats of them.) of non-stick aluminum foil for now? Again, it won't cover everything, but it might take some of the strain off of your water.
Also, in the case that you do get your kennel, do you have a piece of sheet metal or tarp that you could put over one corner? In case it's raining a little, but isn't a torrential downpour. Then Charlie could still be outside with people working, coming, and going, even if the weather isn't perfect.
I'm so sorry for this situation. But, I know that you can do this. You are resourceful and experienced. Remember the older ladies by BOR. What would they do? (((Hug!)))
