Dear Ripkin,

I miss you every day. It has been a hard winter with out you -- xc skiing and walking alone, sheep chores with out my buddy, and lonely car rides up Maine. No one to greet me when I come home from work! No one to follow me around the house and yard. Richard misses you too. You touched many lives in your short life--the neighbors and local dogs were sad after you left us. Your pictures keep your memory going!..We wil be putting your ashes and Abbys up Maine in the garden for your memorial! So long Ripkin! RIP

Love,

Debbie and Richard
