Piper picked a pickled pepper

They say a man's best friend is his dog. Unfortunately my parents lost their best friend a couple of weeks ago. Boz, their Newfoundland was 9 and failing so they had to euthanize him. With an empty house to come home to it just wasn't the same so they got a new puppy golden retriever. He's absolutely adorable. They named him Piper...as my dad is a plane fanatic so I guess it's after a Piper cub? Anyhoo, I love golden retrievers and am really excited about the little guy.
