Ginger...

She lived in a home with over 30 dogs when Animal Control was called in and seized all of the dogs. Most were in pretty horrendous shape, the living conditions were out of a horror story. From the waste all over the house to the cramped quarters of the animals, it could have been a really sad ending. Our rescue was able to take 18 of those dogs and find them homes. (Check out Grandpa Muenster on our Pet List as he's the only one remaining that needs his forever home!). Ginger found a slice of heaven with a family and we couldn't be happier. Thank you for giving her a second chance at life!

Santa got Ginger a soft fur "tube" that she could dig in and snuggle up in. We've had it in our hamper for the past few days to get our scent on it a bit. When we gave it to her it didn't take her long to get in and conk out from the excitement of opening presents. We took some more pictures of her and if we're able to download them, I'll definitely pass them on.

Thanks again for making this the BEST Christmas!

Hi there.......

I think in my last e-mail to you I told you we had a beautiful poodle, Pasha, who my daughter's friend's Dad found in the parking lot of his office complex in Anaheim last winter. Well....long story short....my daughter "adopted" this little (11 pounds) poodle and brought her home here. As much as I tried to resist, I have fallen in love with her. But, the best part is that she and our Ginger get along famously--play, chase each other, and "hang out" most of the day with each other.

My daughter has accepted a teaching position in New York beginning in mid-late January. The plan is to deliver Pasha to her when she gets settled in an apartment somewhere near her job. We'll see how this plays out.

I thought I had a few pictures of both Pasha and Ginger together, but they seem to have been deleted from my mailbox. If I can get them again, I'll forward them to you.

I have to say again.....we are SO, SO grateful to you for picking us to adopt Ginger. She has brought us more joy and happiness into our home than I can describe. She--and Pasha too--has us smiling from one end of the day to the other. And, my Mom who turns 90 in a few weeks, is totally enamored with Ginger who considers my Mom her "mother" when Jim and I are out of the house. She follows Mom around like she had a big steak around her neck!

I'll be back in touch if I can get the pictures from my daughter.......Have a joyous Christmas and healthy and safe New Year!

We're so lucky to have Ginger and she and Pacha get along great! Our dog is the Yorkie.
