Nara, a New Puppy

 On the drive the Dubbo to see Lissa and Evelyn.  We found out a breeder and a Chocolate Labrador Puppy available. We had to say yes, Could we pick her up on the way back a week. Yes we could, So the plot was underway. We decided to not tell the kids until they could see her. So we visited Petbarn in Dubbo under the roose we we looking a toys for Lissa dogs.
