Newone is a black-and-white sable who got her name quite by accident. After we first got her we couldn't think of a name, and we often referred to her as "the new one". One day she answered to it, so.... Ripple is the very old male that I found. He got his name from his butter-colored undercoat. I thought it looked like butterscotch, and his long black guard hairs lent a ripple pattern to his undercoat, so...Ripple it was!
