When we got our new pups in fall I decided the trek back to the kennel in winter and rain was getting more and more unpleasant the older I got. Any ideas on how to camoflauge the kennel somewhat? Tall plants, partial fencing? I want the dogs to still be able to see out so they don't get more destructive than they are. We only kennel them when we are at work.

Forgot to address this. Had a client with the same problem. We used vines. Quick growing ivy for one side so they would have shade. Annual vines on 2 sides. Hops grows fast. I have variegated - interesting leaves, forget the flower, then fun seed heads (the hops). They self seed. Grows more lush at the top, so dogs can see out. Let me know if you need more ideas for annual pretty vines.
