Our Precious Puppy

Ginger, Our Princess Dog.
in September of 2003, we acquired,(much to MaryLyns Disapproval) a Cute little red puppy. Of Course I brought her home anyway. We grew fond of our little puppy, and gave way to her becoming a "House Dog". Soon she became one of the children,and gave her whatever she begged for. Of course she got fat, the vet told us not to feed her table scraps, but we did. We limited her treats to Dog treats, Pancakes,(she loved those)and waffles. she could smell them cooking from the pasture and would come running. She knew when it was time to pick up Chris from school, and would wait at the door until it was opened, and then get in the car before you could get the door open all the way. On Aug 3rd 2009, we took her to the vet, cause she acted like she had a cold, and the vet did a series of tests and discovered she was suffering from Kidney Failure. Devastated, we put her in the hospital. We were told not to get our hopes up, but how do you not, she's part of the family. There was a chance she could come out of it. Late the next day, after more blood tests, the Doctor dropped the bomb. No improvement.
How could this be. She was only 6,we wanted more time with her.
We took her home with us to have more time. The vet gave her a shot so her last few days would be a little more comfortable.
During those last couple of days, We cried, Held her and Cried. I built her a special box to rest in, while Chris Prepared the ground for the box. On Saturday morning, August 8Th 2009 at 9:00 am Ginger Died. We laid her to rest in her favorite spot in the yard, which was under the big pine tree at the corner of the pasture. From there she could watch the neighbors, Make sure the Horses were in the pasture, chase the squirrels and cats, catch the birds, and warn us of anyone moving within a 1/2 mile. She loved to tree Raccoons and was rewarded on several occasions. She loved to watch the sunrise, she would sit on the driveway and soak up the rays as it came up over the hills. she always wanted to ride in the car, and didn't care where or how far, just so she could ride.
All the things she did that annoyed us, is what we miss. But most of all, We miss her unconditional love for us. It is a privilege to have her as part of our family, and can hardly wait to see her again.
We Love You, GINGER BOB
