Well, it was a short-lived exercise. Thanks for all the suggested names (Dumptruck????) but we had to take the puppy back - as much as my wife loves dogs, her allergies just can't handle it any more.
But the good news is that the owners realized that with a little effort on their part, and getting some proper training, they can keep the dog. Turns out they missed her just as much as we want to keep her.
Maybe instead of buying materials for a kennel and run, I can spring for a tach, clock and centre-stand.
Thanks for the input
Pedro
