Ripley's Gotcha Day Anniversary!

Oh Ripley, what a fantastic story of your adoption! I never knew how you came to be a part of your family and our PT! What a cute little mess of fur you were and what a handsome boy you are today! I certainly am glad that you and Mommy found eachother! What would AnnaBelle do without her Rip?

AnnaBelle has a thread today for her birthday too! Unfortunately mommy forgot on the correct day (6th) but she still loves her just the same! It worked out nicely though because both of you can share a special day!

Love and Puppy Kisses to you, Ripley!

Kim and AnnaBelle

That is how strong your bond is to her!! I know you are cared for with the utmost love, and I know that is why you cling to mom's side like velcro...b/c you are so very thankful for her taking you in, and taking such good care of you. You are a sweet boy, and I can't imagine Mom and Dad's house without a Ripley in it!!

Happy Gotcha Day Rip!!!! We love you!! (even Harlee

)

Thanks you, Robyn, darling daugter and friend, for saying this so eloquently! So true! So true! I clearly remember the excited phone call I got! Remember when Pam gave me Ripley to hold at the Pa PT meeting, while she went to visit the "ladies" and poor Ripley stared at the door, shaking like a leaf, regardless of my kisses? He wanted his mommy so bad! He almost leaped back into her arms! Happy Gotcha Day, sweet, dear, loving boy! Thank you for coming into our lives!

Karen I had almost forgotten that!!

I just went back through some of my albums and found two pictures that I took of you and Ripley that day. These were not taken in the ladies room (obviously

) so there were a few times when you got to hold my little boy. I think I had only had him a few months at this point and the *super glue* was already forming between us.

By the way, doesn't Karen look great?

Thank you everyone for wishing my little guy a Happy Gotcha Day. He is so special to me. He is always either on me (I think he fears I might fly off into space if he doesn't anchor me down!) or right next to me. I feel like he is actually a body part at this point.

I just don't know what I'd do without my crazy little boy.

Pam I could have swore that I posted yesterday, but I think I got so involved in looking up the original thread and reading it again I forgot

Poodles have always held a special place in my heart and your Ripley is no different! He's a precious boy and you two were destined to be together!!!

HAPPY BELATED GOTCHA DAY RIPLEY!!!!

Oh Pam! I don't think I ever saw those pictures! Notice how I'm squeezing Ripley 'cause he was anxious to leap onto you!!! He's SO SO adorable! I'm so lucky I got to get "personal' with the widdle pumpkin.
