We got our second dog today. His name is Lambeau, named after “Curly” Lambeau who was one of 2 men to form the Green Bay Packers in 1919. The shelter said he is Pure Breed, Australian Sheppard, they also think he is 5 or 6 years of age. To us he looks young more toward the 5 (Chad is 4). Lambeau is a bit thin but that should not be a problem once he gets all settled. He knows some commands but we will have to work with him a lot more. Has to be on a leash at all times when out since he likes to try to run all over, a lot of work will be put in there. Was told he is house-broke and have not seen any issues with that, even with every thing smelling like Chad. He is white and Gray with a little bit of brown. He has 2 different colored eyes, one brown and one blue. Lambeau and Chad get a long just fine. They play a lot together. But need there alone time to rest, since Lambeau is still shy he wont lay down and rest yet by himself.
I will write more tomorrow and try to get a picture of him up so you all can see.

Warm, Projects, Dog
We got our new furnace in and it is fabulous! The house is warm now, no need for coats and hats in side anymore.
This past week we have been talking about plans for the back yard. To redo and move stuff, add a shed as well as getting the gate all done so we can start to search for another dog come March. Plans are in action (need the weather to bit a bit nicer) and the gate is done.
Each day we keep looking online at shelters at what Border Collies and Austrian Sheppard they have. I’m sad but very happy at the same time, we see a dog we want to go and look at and when we have the time they have already been adopted. So over all that is really good that they are finding a new hope, can’t wait to bring one to our home. Will have to take Chad with us to see how they get a long, Chad some times cares less about other dogs and does not pay any attention to them and on the other side of that he can not leave they are best friends (like Max), so we will see what happens. I would like a puppy (less than one year) but a young dog (1 to 2 years) is good as well. Will have to wait and see what we can find.

New stuff
We finally got a new washer and dryer. I’m very excited to have a dryer that can dry close in less then 70 plus min (that is what our old one took, if not longer). They are both front loaders with a clear door so you can see what all is going on inside. We splurged and got the red set instead of the white. With our plans to re-do the garage floor it will really stand out. Also a huge bonus is that they are energy efficient so we won’t be spending quite as much on electricity to run them and even better we get a so called years worth of tide. It will be 10 50oz containers and it took us over 6 months to go thought a 60 oz container. For us it will be well over a years worth.
Yes we are going to be painting our garage floor to help with the look and to really get it clean since we do our laundry out there.
This coming up week (Tuesday) we will get our new furnace in and I can’t wait for that. Some thing that is energy efficient and wont cost us an arm and leg to heat the house only to 65 degrees. We might even turn it up to 70 in the house so we don't freeze our guests and ourselves.
I think the plan is a week from Tuesday to get the new water heated installed. Trying to get every thing updated so we know it works well and is efficient. Over all we cant wait for all that to be installed and lower montly bills.
