We got her from another family who was possibly moving and didn't have a yard for her. They were kind of like "foster parents" to her. She was with them for about a year.
They had gotten her from a shelter and prior to that our sweet Ging had a rough life. She was rescued from a house that had OVER ONE-HUNDRED DOGS. They used bark collars, so we have yet to hear Ginger bark and assume we probably never will. She also is terrified of any kind of sound (no matter the volume) that comes out of speakers. She can be timid but also playful. She also knows commands like "sit" "lay down" "stay" and "shake." Tim enjoys going running with her.
She is wonderful and we love her.
The greatest part is that she is excellent with Makaela. This was obviously our #1 criteria when looking for a new pup-pup.
And now I have three shadows. This little peanut pack follows me everywhere. Rock and Ging get along too. I wouldn't say they are BFFs but they do just fine....that is until Mr. Horn-dog, Rocky, tries to hump Ginger. He really never figured that whole thing out. When he stands up on his hind legs he's about eye level with Ginger's pooper... one swift wag of her tail and he goes flying.
Occasionally, Ginger's crazy strong tail gets a littttttle out of control and whacks Makaela right in the head....the downside of them being the same height. Sometimes there are tears, sometimes a frowny face and sometimes she just pats the "ouch." Tough girl that MikMak is ;-)
My favorite moments of the day are when the whole posse is napping. If only I could join them!
