Stop in for a cup of coffee

One of my farming buddies just had a litter of pups, they are pure bred Catahoulas (sp?) stock dogs. He is trolling me relentlessly trying to get me to take one. They are very similar to Mals in a lot of ways. There is just no way on earth I have the energy, will, or time to work on two pups at one time. By same token it would be a partner in crime for the Mal as Hemi cannot come close to keeping up. I fear Jodi would shoot me I drag home another pup!
