In Celebration of Ripley

by Gail ONeal
Ripley (Ripley Be Leve It Or Not V. D. Hoolhoeve HSas) (2000-2008) died July 25, 2008 from hemangiosarcoma. He came to our home from Marsha Clamp and Gail Zamarchi in 2003 to be a buddy to Later, companion to us, and herding addict. He initially thought Bob was the best thing since ice cream but as soon as I took him out on sheep, he changed alliances-or as Bob said-"he's a traitor"! He lived for herding and loved to do daily chores, loved running and wrestling with Later, and enjoyed gong for rides to new places. His bounce and smile will be long remembered. He was a true gentleman with a big, loving heart! And...we miss him terribly!
