This
is the lovely Ginger. We adopted her from
Austin Boxer Rescue
in Austin, Texas last
September. She seemed so sad and confused about losing her family, but
they really didn't have time to work with her and give her the attention
she needed and deserved. We were lucky enough to enter her life at this time.
She's an amazingly silly, energetic girl and she's proof-positive that us
chubby girls can be athletic too. Ginger loves to run, run, run and she's
not afraid to jump off of high places. Loud noises don't scare her either,
but she's not totally fearless � a lot of new experiences scare her.
Fortunately, once she's figured out that something won't hurt her, the
fear is gone. She's now learning dog agility and each obstacle challenged
her courage, but she met the challenge and is turning out to be quite the
agility dog.
This silly girl makes us laugh every single day at her antics. She
believes her daddy's shoes belong on the window sill and that's where
we'll usually find them if they aren't put away properly in a closet. She
also loves her squeaky toys and will walk around for several minutes
gently squeak, squeak, squeaking her toys. She is always very gentle with
her toys and they last forever until her good friend Jessi or her sister
Shelby (a lab-chow mix) tears them to pieces. Ginger loves to carry things
around. Sometimes it might be clothes or shoes, but once it was even an
electric skillet she 'borrowed' from a kitchen counter.
When Ginger is having a quiet moment, she will sit upright and rest her
head on the coffee table. It looks strange, but she does this every day.
She loves her daddy above everyone else and when he's home she never takes
her eyes off of him. If he leaves the room she has to follow and any time
he's there you can see her nearby mooning at him with her amazing big
brown eyes.
Our beautiful girl is a gift every day and we couldn't love her more. We
are so blessed that we were chosen to give Ginger her forever home. We may
have rescued her, but she has paid us back a thousand-fold with all the
love and laughs she has added to our lives. Ginger is our dog of the
century!
