3 years of blessings. Ripley has immensely changed our lives for the better. From the smiles she gives when we get home (I can NOT capture that, its too quick!), to the new friendships made, to her incredible versatility and heart, to her beautiful temperament and protective side, and to her ability to know when people need her most. She is a joy in every way possible. We wanted a male but it didn't work out and there was Ripley! Originally bought as a pet now here we are... She was truly meant to be in our lives.
Happy Birthday Ripley
, and to all her littermates. Most of all, happy birthday in heaven to sweet Phoebe...gone way too soon... I hope she has a mountain of piggies to spoil herself with up there and that she radiates her love and energy into Olive. 
Sorry if you don't like photo dumps...
Ripley, Amora, Saylor, Jax, Finneas and Phoebe (I believe I have the reds correct because Finneas has white on his chest, and I don't think Phoebe had any white toes? @JanS )

About here is when Rip's breeder encouraged us to get Ripley into showing. Marcy, who we just met, taking the time and stacking her for us.
