Waiting a year and a half after loosing our beloved old lab we decided we could at least take a look at the dog fair in Westchester. Nothing jumped out at us. We stopped to talk to the ladies From Ripley. After speaking with us for just a short while they showed us a picture of a little dog named Josie. She had stayed behind that day , but they assured us she would be there on Sunday. We looked her up on the web sight. We knew before we met her that she would be the dog for us. It was a match made in heaven. She has added so much joy to our lives. We did have to change her name. Something about having a dog with the same name as your mother didn't seem right. We call her Ripley in honor of the wonderful people who loved her the first few months of her life, and tought her so well. She's a happy little dog and very smart. We're in our 2nd 8 weeks of obedience and doing quite well, that is after she has greeted every one in the room. A huge hit at the local dog park. People call her "the little big dog". No dog or owner is off limits.  Sometimes the bigger the better.

She loves them all . . . AND WE LOVE HER.

Special thanks go out to all of you.

Sincerely,

Pam and Marlene
