Lt. Ripley

When I went to the animal shelter to donate food, I decided to take a peek at the dogs. This blue eyed dog at the far end of the shelter, sat by the cage door. The smell was very overwhelming. So many dogs, barking, and jumping up on their cage doors, Ripley just sat quietly and did not jump up or down. I went down to see her, as I talk to her she just sat patiently. Ripley pick me. Some people say I am her guarding angel. I am not. She is my guarding angle. Ripley has put some much love into our lives.

Ripley and I adjoined at the hip. We are never apart. She has been with is for 3 years. We got her healthy and with her training? She is now a Licensed service dog. We also started a charity in her name. Lt. Ripley Kids. We go around our county and neighboring counties and deliver stuff animals (with her picture on them) to be put in police cars, fire trucks, first responders. This way they can be handed out to kids who in distress or hurt.

Our first year we did over 120 stuff animals, over 2000 dollars to the heart house (a homeless shelter) for baby blankets, healthy snacks, socks, and Christmas toys for the kids. Ripley brings out the best in people. Veterans and kids are her favorite people, and yes we here all veterans. So how can this small blue eyes dog be so forgiving and loving when humans are just plain horrible to one another. Ripley brings the best out of people. We can all learn from her and cherish what she has to of to mankind. She is our baby, best friend and she will never be cold again or left behind.
