I inherited Ruffles from neighbor Estel Reed when she went into a nursing home. Ruffles joined Zip in looking after my goats. Nine months ago, all 13 of them disappeared without trace after being terrorized by some sort of Big Cat (aka likely mountain lion). Ruffles and Zip began their unemployed life living on my porch, and barking at whatever at night. Last week Ruffles disappeared. I alerted neighbors and searched far and wide. Gone. She was a sweet dog, in mourning for her mistress and her goats. A little lost.
