Ridgebacks are a rare breed variety, the breed standard is that they have a smooth short coat with with a ridge of hair standing erect from the base of the neck to the hips. 2 rosettes are allowed to form the ridge.
Here is Agent Dinosaurs story........................
Her story is: she was left at a local feed and seed place here in Moline named Teskes. They had her for over a month before I found out about her. She was living with a bunny there and they had them in a plastic cage on the cement floor. Aubrey's little feet and body was soo cold when we came across her. She was sooo scared! We are guessing she is over a year old. When Andy picked her up he wouldnt put her down! Cause she was soo cold. So we walked up to pay for her.(they wanted $9.99) the boy at the counter said "finally that little boys got a home" Well first of all he was not a he!! she was a she!! poor Aubrey, they didnt even know she was a girl. When we went there to buy crickets for our toad we were not expecting to find little Aubrey... we were riding our two person moped!! so I held her in a little brown box while Andy drove us home. She probaly was scared to death on that moped! She lived by herself at first here at
Misfitville.
Our old gal Anastasia was getting worse.. (she was our paralyzed piggie) and she lived with our little Athena who loved to sit with her front paws on Anastasia's back. They would sit like that for over a hour at a time. It was soo darn tootin cute! So when Anastasia passed we moved Aubrey in with Athena. Anastasia got to know Aubrey well before she passed because the last two weeks of Anastasias life she live in a small kids swiming pool with soft towels under her and we would put different girl piggies in to eat dinner and snacks with Anastasia, and Aubrey would curl up to Anastasia and purr.
After Anastasia passed Little spit fire Athena wouldnt accept any other piggie to live with after Anastasia passed... we prayed that Athena would take a liking to little Aubrey. Well it ended up that it was a match made in heaven! they took to each other and have been best friends ever since!! So that is how little Aubrey came to be here at Misfitville:)
OK we may have given her identity away but we love the story and the piggy code of honour means we wont tell anyone else the secret.

What a wonderful story! There can't be many piggies who have ridden on a moped.
ReplyDeleteWe guessed the herd but not the name. We must have a different list of the meaning of names.
We used to have a Ridgeback here at Piggyfriends. Her name was Mistletoe and she was an agouti.
Our Aubrey sends his best wishes to Agent Dinosaur and hopes to meet her aboard the Black Pearl ( but promises to keep quiet about her secret life. )
Agent Dinosaur looks forward to meeting you Aubrey from piggyfriends! What do you look like?
