The quest goes on, and I appreciate the comments I've received on this subject. Thanks "gracehoper" for the comments about the Bradshaw shelter. I watch their website every day, and receive info almost daily of new dogs to the shelter.
I also met a man with a shepherd puppy at Liam's soccer game and got to talking with him about the puppy. He has a contact who called him about his puppy, and he offered to let this contact know of my search. I told him I was looking for a male black lab or german shepherd puppy, so I hope putting the word out will help. I know puppies chew and have certain behavior issues until they grow a bit and get used to the routine. However, I think I would like to be a part of shaping the behavior and training rather than maybe finding an older dog with issues that I might not like or be able to handle. We'll see - I'm not as obsessed about this as I was, so whatever develops is going to be ok with me.
I finally got the pilot light fixed on my heater, but I haven't heard it click on as yet. I was sure the heat would come on in early morning but I didn't hear it. I'm warm enough wearing my long underwear, sweater, etc. I took some laundry across the street to the Park's laundry room this morning. It was so nice in the sun I decided to come back home and get my clothespins, so a lot of the wash was line dried.
It has been a beautiful day. We'll have to wait until Sunday for a little more rain, but in the meantime let the sun shine!

The temperature outside right now is 41; inside my house the thermometer reads 47! Fortunately the sun is beaming in the windows on the northeast side of the house. I will ask Donald to light the pilot on the heater for me, but I'll set...
- No Dog As Yet.
I finally figured what was wrong with my online application yesterday - I gave my "home" email address where requested, but for work email I entered "Retired". Once I changed it to my regular email I was able to submit the app. Less than an hour...
- Let There Be Light!
I drove straight to Home Depot from the gym this morning and found a decent floor lamp that wasn't too expensive. I decided I'd rather get a cheaper fixture and spend more on the bulbs, which I did. I let it sit for a couple of hours...
- A Day's Work
I washed two loads of laundry and got everything hung out to air dry. I thought I would just kick back for the rest of the day because my energy was spent, but then remembered I needed to change the sheets on my bed. I put the summer sheets...
