Montauk Windsor, our best boy Ripken, came into our lives on a very snowy Saturday in March 1999. A silly 20 month old beautiful boy that changed our lives forever. Ripken was the happiest, sweetest dog I had ever met. He loved our daily walks in the neighborhood, truly believing everyone came outside just to see him. And he never disappointed, always giving a smile, a kiss, a roo, or wiggle butt to his admirers. He loved the neighborhood kids and often tried to get on the school bus with them. We are very thankful for the six years Ripken was a part of our family. Of course it was not near long enough. It was hard to see him suffer that last month as we tried so hard to get him healthy again. Ripken opened the door to greyhounds for us and we are so thankful for that. Happy birthday at the bridge my beautiful boy! You will always be loved and in our thoughts. We continue to share your stories. Really missing you today buddy...
