Ralph

Ralph has a wonderfully sweet and gentle disposition despite his several physical ailments (none life threatening). He requires diligent care for a chronic skin condition, thyroid meds twice a day, but he is very gentle and eager to receive the extra attention. He loves short walks in cool weather, is wonderful in the house (as long as no food is lying around unattended!) and adores cats, children and other dogs.

Ralph just adores the little ones.

Ralph after lots of medical attention and love. What a difference!
