Goodbye My Ripley
We adopted Ripley from Jan in February 2000. He was about 9 months old, and a whirling tornado of energy. But, Ripley fit right in with our other 3 GSPs, who also have all crossed over. Ripley became the heart and soul of our home, and traveled across the country with us. He especially enjoyed...
