Thank you all for your responses. I'm going to be nailing the tongue into some 1x3 strapping that I have running horizontally on the studs.

Thanks again...

I'm very sorry to hear about Beau. We went through this some time ago with our two dogs. We lost them both within 6 months of each other.

It takes time Jerry.
