Too funny on your name choice I also had a little shelter girl I named Ripley, also after the character in Alien. She had a little hernia on her belly and every once in a while (until we had it surgically corrected when she got spayed) it would pop out and she got a little bulge on her belly under the skin. I could pop it back in with my finger. All we could think of was the alien popping out of the guys chest in the movie so she got named Ripley.
That is so awesome (well not that she had a hernia, but I love how you decided on the name Ripley). :D Our Ripley didn't have any aliens popping out of her chest, thankfully. ^_^ She likes to sleep under our bed though, so maybe we should have named her Newt. :P
