New puppy Riley! [View all]

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

We lost our Cindy in January at 14 years old. She was my shadow and I miss her so much. This past Sunday we brought home Riley,11weeks old and a Border Collie/Lab mix. I forgot what it was like to have a puppy in the house!

I love him already and I am exhausted 😀.
