Ginger, the Dog of the Day
Name: Ginger
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Female Breed: Beagle, Poodle mix
Home: Central Florida, USA
 
   Ginger loves Halloween. When the door bell rings and the children yell trick or treat, she goes crazy wagging her tail, panting hard, and barking. When I open the door to give them candy, she runs frantically all over the front yard, greets all with a kiss who will let her and runs back in to wait for the next bunch. She was so patient for these pictures. She wore that little pumpkin hat and posed for nearly two hours until I got the pictures I wanted. As best we can tell, Ginger is half beagle and half something else. She's built like a beagle, has colors like a beagle, has ears and eyes like a beagle, barks like beagle, and eats like a beagle (will eat everyone else's food when they are not looking). However, she has long, wiry hair. The vet thinks the other half might be poodle. She has a little sister named Zoe, a Yorkie mix, who came to live with us only six months ago. At first Ginger didn't even like it when Zoe touched her, because at weeks, she was still trying to nurse even though Ginger was not her mommy. Now they sleep together and play together non-stop, although occasionally I get this look that says, "Honestly, Mom, what were you thinking when you brought her here?"
