Dog, dog, going to the dogs

It's time to start looking for a puppy. We want it to be warm enough that the puppy can start out sleeping in the barn. We want it to be an outside dog first and get to come in the house when it is cold outside. My Dad has been calling me every Friday for a few weeks with the puppy give-aways in the paper. We want a lab/something mix. Hopefully it will be good with sheep. Hopefully it won't chew everything in it's path (as Charlie did). We haven't actually gone to view any puppies yet because I know the kids will want to take away the first one that they pick up. Oh, I miss Charlie.
