Meet Ginger

Hey yall! We did a thing.. we got a puppy! she is a minature Austrailian Shepherd. Her name is Ginger. She is so sweet. but. she will get after you too! Just what I wanted. she is not going to be a greaaaaaaaat big dog but she will be bigger than the ones we have had in recent years. BEFORE anyone starts in with the its too soon to get a puppy Charley just died. well I could say Mind your business. BUT. I will say I was torn up so sad and just not functioning. I was bad depressed and so was our other dog (a minature pomeranian) Lala. She was sleeping all the time and barely eating. She was confused and looking for him. which made me cry harder. I was miserable. So this dog kinda fell into our lap and it is a great dog for us. (If we can make it through the puppy stage) she and lala get along great and lala needed another dog with her bad. I needed another dog that I could train like I did charley with my MS needs. she is great for that SO SMART!

she is really shy and skittish at first but when she gets to know you! ITS PLAYTIME our living room looks like a dog store threw up. all the chew toys and big beds.

Ginger has bowed down to Lala, the queen but really just wants to play with her. she takes her toys to herone by one, she groans at her, she lays down in front of her bed, begging her to play. she wont play. so John and I play.we are too old for this hahahahahaha but its so much fun. Bella was home this end of the week and really played with her. she loved it.

she loves the outside. she goes in and out all day, would rather be outside than inside. but hasnt quite made the connection with using the bathroom outside yet. she will play outside a long time then come inside and use the bathroom on the floor on the pee pads. (glad she uses the pads but she misses often)

she is bringing us Joy and happiness from such a sad place we were when charley passed.she already has associated that she gets treats when I take my meds so I need to take my meds when it gets dark (we are still working on that) Lala is just up for a treat wheneever she doesnt have any set time. When we had charley he would bark at me at 9:30 then at 10 if I hadnt gotten up and taken it. so I would give him his treat and he could go to bed. I was late some nights and he would be sitting in front of the counter where my meds are like FORGETTING SOMETHING??? so im working on that with GInger for her to remind me. PS: she is not crazy about carrots but will eat them because lala eats them hahaha how funny is that!

Ginger has stolen our hearts and won us over with her charm and sweet demeanor. she likes to run laps around the back yard we call it the zoomies. Lala lays on the patio watching her go like a nascar race vrrrrrooooooom there she goes vrrrrrrooooommmmm here she comes. they are very funny. Bella took a lot of good photos of them some of these are Bellas photos she took and she took more that i will get today. YOu will be seeing more of Ginger in my posts on facebook and my scrapbooking soon! have a nice day!
