Alice, I'm so sorry for your loss!
It is very difficult when we lose one of our loving fur babies. At our old house where we lived for 40 years, there is a special corner in the backyard that was my memory garden; we buried two dogs, a parakeet and eight or so kitties there.
I love the name you chose for your Doodle, very cute. We plan on adopting another dog once we get settled in our new home and we've thought of the possibility of a Golden Doodle or another Golden Retriever. Bo is our first Golden but my youngest sister has raised four over the years and also fostered a few Goldens ... they are wonderful companion animals!
