Hi!
My name is Ripley Fern and I am a Red Bone Coonhound. You know the type of dog that
is in the book "Where the Red Fern Grows"... well that's the type of dog I am. I am
called a coon hound because I like to chase Raccoons. Sadly there are not many Raccoon
sightings in Los Angeles, CA but I did have one on my roof once and it was like I found
my destiny. I get excited over squirrels too but the Raccoons are what really get me
going.
Another thing I like to do is bay (which is a dog version of singing). My best friend
and Cousin Alma (a thirteen-year-old shepherd mix) lets me do all the talking when we are
together. I love food but I never seem to gain weight. I also have a collapsible rib
cage that enables me to crawl into many small spaces for Raccoon chasing (all us
coonhounds do) but mostly I just collapse it to be the most fabulous 45 pound lap dog
around. I love to take long walks and then come home and snuggle all day on the couch
with you. Back when I was a puppy, I got stung by a bee and went into shock and almost
died. I lived fortunately but it does make me grateful for life! Because of this I am
extremely loving and loyal and will not forget you. Hopefully you will remember me too!
