And then there was one

It occurred to me today that I’ve never written anything about Ripley. She’s the ‘forgotton middle child’ of our dogs. We got her back in 1995 when we first moved to this house. She’s a corgi/cocker mix, and she’s the sweetest and mellowest dog we’ve ever had. When she first came to live with us, she decided that she was my dog. I don’t know why, but she picked me. And before we had Lucinda, Ripley was the ‘practice baby’ for me to hold.
Ripley is easily the best-behaved dog. She’s never been a problem in any way. Her only remarkable ability is her eye/snout coordination. She can snap dropped food right out the air before it hits the floor. Sometimes she even catches flies right out of the air and eats them.
Ripley has never been an ‘only dog’, but it looks like she’s going to have to be the only one for a while now.

Ripley looks utterly adorable! I’m sure she’ll get some extra attention now too.

Ripley looks like a charming fur-kid…and hopefully helps you all emotionally over the loss of yer two dogs this year. Give Ripley a good hug for me!
