Brandi and Ginger, the Dog of the Day
Name: Brandi, Ginger
Age: Two and a half, Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Australian Shepherd; Terrier, Beagle Mix
Home: Ohio, USA
 
   I would like to nominate my dogs, Brandi and Ginger, for dogs of the day. Brandi is two and a half year old Australian Shepherd, red tri in color. Ginger is three year old mixed breed (Terrier, Beagle and who knows what) they live in Ohio USA.

    Brandi marches to the beat of her own drum. She is not too fond of strangers, but once she gets to know someone she loves them. She is my protector and has appointed herself as the neighborhood watch. No one or nothing goes up or down the street without Brandi alerting all the neighbors. Thank goodness we have good neighbors. She loves vegetables fresh from the garden, she and Ginger pick their own veggies out of the garden. She likes her buster cube, balls, empty toilet paper rolls. Due to her herding instinct she thinks everyone should go outside with her. She once took a dollar bill off of the table and hid it under her blanket. She likes chasing Ginger around the yard and barking at the squirrel and birds.

    Ginger loves everyone and thinks she always has to be the center of attention. That is what makes her a good therapy dog. She is registered with Therapy Dogs International and enjoys visiting the residents at the nursing home where I work. They love her and ask me everyday "How is Ginger and when is she coming again?" She also likes vegetables fresh from the garden and chasing her sister Brandi around the yard and barking at the squirrel and birds. She likes anything to chew on, her toy hamburger and the talking dog toys. She once got out loose and sneaked into a neighbors house jumped in bed with her son and woke him up by licking his face. They do not have pets and it was quite a shock to him. Like I said I am glad I have good neighbors. These two dogs are my life and my dogs of the day everyday. They bring me so much joy and are always there for me no matter what.
