Piggies never leave that special place in our hearts, do they? She was so lucky to be part of your family. How wonderful to hear how well Lisa is doing, especially after all she has been through. Wonderful that she is more than six years old! We're so happy, too, to hear of your new addition, Rachael. Sounds like they are getting along very well. Our best to all of you.
