Hello, Ripley, pretty brown, black and white doggie girl! I smiled when I read about how you run in your garden at top speed, and how you give cuddles and kisses to everyone you meet! I bet you make someone's day every time you do that I am so sorry about your old best dog-friend. That must have been very scary for you, and I'm glad you have come along so well! I agree with LHCam, I am sure your friend did not mean it. I'm sending you lots of cyber hugs and petting today to wish you a very Happy Dog of the Day!
