Ripley came to me through adoption in 2014 in Boulder, CO after I saw she was surrendered to the shelter needing surgery on her eye. Because she had had a run in with a raccoon, she came home with me and into quaratine for a couple of weeks. I had never had a small dog before, and she instantly became my constant companion. She's been by my side ever since. Ripley is currently the only pet in our house, she's very comfortable being the center of attention but also rules the house at her leisure. She's affectionate with my partner, my family and any guests in the house. She loves her routine and the other pets and people we meet on our walks in the neighborhood. Only the squirrels in the yard suffer her wrath. Being so small doesn't stop Ripley from having a huge personality. As she gets older she has become accustomed to lots of relaxation time, but still gets daily zoomies and greets me after work with ethusiasm and tons of kisses, which are her go-to show of affection. She commands the comfy parts of the couch and has laid claim to every blanket in the house. Like a lot of small dogs Ripley came to me with not only a missing eye, but growing teeth problems. Several years ago she had a proceedure to extract most of her teeth, alleviating some gum problems. I knew the remaining teeth would need work eventually, but she recently slipped on a stair and had some trauma to her bottom jaw, knocking her canines loose, moving up the need for extraction. Funds for this procedure will take me an extrodinarily long time to afford. My partner and I work full time, but I'm unable to attain credit after a bankruptcy and a divorce, as well as losing an established job because of long Covid. My wages simply cannot keep up.
