I know it's been some time since we were at markets. But I thought would let all of Ripley's friends know.
On Thursday (December 12), I received some devastating results of an x-ray. Ripley had a BAD fracture on her front right leg (elbow). Due to her already missing her hind left foot, amputation - which would be the recommendation - was not an option. And due to her progressing Addisons Disease, any surgery would be very iffy and actually decrease her quality of life if she were to come out of it. The kindest option was the hardest option.
Saturday morning, I sent my sweet Ripley to run free. Without pain. And hopefully on 4 feet once again.
Thank you everyone who ever stopped to allow her to show you her sweetness. Her unique ability to make people not afraid of the German Shepherd. To get hugs and sweet little kisses. Ripley truly and genuinely loved you all.
