Ahhh sorry to hear you lost your lab - we had a retriever before our Cocker and its tough when you lose them.
But.....good luck choosing your new pupster I'm sure he will help to fill the gap in his own unique way...our boy Dillon certainly has.
Absolutely LOVE the name Piper....it was on our list but Dillon's name came with him

Cannot wait to see photos when he arrives.
