lol Ripley we refere to as "Mr. Mom" (I want that song burnt onto a CD lol) he is very carefull to bath both us, and Misty-his baby lol Ripley came with us to meet the pups when they were 4 weeks old, and misty came over to Ripley and tried to suckle from his well you know lol they were just weaned at the time. Ripley has always acted as mom to Misty, Misty does not always like that lol but Ripley does not always give her a say in the matter he does not always give me or my mom a say in the matter either.. lol
