INCISIVE PAPILLA AWARENESS 
(Tfhanks mummer fur da shpellin!)

http://www.lab-retriever.net/board/general-health-issues/7307431-bump-mouth.html

Apparently they iss very prominent in labradorrs!

Herr is anuther pic and a quotey frum tha websiyte:

http://veterinarynews.dvm360.com/dvm/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=374304&sk=&date=&pageID=3

"The raised region at the rostral extent of the mucosa at the midline, caudal to the incisors is the incisive papilla. Paired incisive ducts exist lateral to the papilla and communicate directly with the vomeronasal organ. Inflammation of the mucosa of these structures can become a clinical concern when food and debris accumulate abnormally."

That basicarly translaytes as: therrs a lump/or twoo little bumps at the front behind yoor top twoo frunt teethies. Therrs wee ducks ducts at eether sidde that go up pasht yoor nose ... ees basically sumfin to do wivv hormonne releesin, or shtuff, so wheen yoo gett awll exciyted the hormonnes arr past down thru thees ducts n eet maykes yooo pant, I'z dunno, I'z a fthree yeer owld borderr terrior, nott a veternary surgjin!! yeah!

This is whot eet looks liyke in catts:
