Puppy carries everything outside!

We have a 4 month old lab mix puppy. She is doing great in almost
every respect: obeys commands, plays gently with our children, is
completely housetrained and crate trained, etc. Of course she can
still be obnoxious sometimes, but that's just puppyhood.

However, one problem we have is that we have a dog-door, which was
great for housetraining. The downside is that shre is using her
freedom to bring EVERYTHING outside. She brings shoes, toys (hers and
our childrens'), dishtowels, socks, the kitchen sink, etc. out into the
snow and mud. Every day I am out there digging around in the snow for
my son's boots.

Is there any way to discourage this habit? We don't want to restrict
her access to the house because she is getting so well trained in every
other way and we want to keep working with her on that.

Thanks!
