Workbench and dogdoor problem solved!

We have a small dog and cat, and of course, a little door for them, leading onto our back porch.  We also had a huge problem, as the wind blows from that dirction often, bringing lots of cold air, dirt, leaves, etc., into the dogdoor.  The flap broke off, and attempts to rig up a flap that worked failed.  Enter:  my genious husband again!!!  Here is what he did....let's see if you can figure out what happened here....no looking ahead!

"something dumb this-way-comes!!"

Well?!  Didja?!?  Figure it out, I mean?!  See that place where one of the planks does not extend to the ground, just off of the deck?  THAT is the new entryway into the dogdoor area!!  They go under there, jump up onto the deck, and come in their door, which is now protected behind/under this wonderful workbench!!!!  You have to admit that this is GENIOUS!!  Eventually, we will probably build new steps with a bigger platform, so that you can stand on a level withthe workbench all the way down (on the right), and then descend the steps.  Yes, we will have to leave room under the steps for the animals to get through.  :)
