When No One is Looking...

Ginger really does love her new brother even if she abuses him in public.

When no one else is around Ginger secretly loves to play with Little Edie......

My Milkshake Brings All The Boys To The Yard

Here's Ginger sporting her halter top and daisy dukes at her Memorial Day BBQ.

Peete was there too and he was such a good boy. His ears are healing really well, don't you think?

And this is Peaches. Peaches is an adorable one year old cockapoo. She belongs to our friend Victoria.

And.....finally......no party would be complete without Little Edie. Here's a video of Peaches, Ginger and Little Edie having fun.....

We Are Family.....

As promised, here is Ginger, with her cousin Luke. Why so angry, Ginger??? You and Luke are family. He came all the way to visit you and this is how you treat him??

The Silent Killer

Ever since we lost Frank, Ginger has had to find a new "big dog" to abuse. Enter Wanda. Yes, Wanda! Her faithful Nanny. Wanda is the new Frank. Here's Joe holding Ginger while Wanda tries to go in for a kiss on the belly. Ginger lets her have it. You must understand,tho.....this is more about Ginger not wanting Wanda to come near Joe than it is about not wanting her belly kissed. This is exactly what she used to do to Frank when he would try to get near Joe.

Just Cuz.....

The Glamorous Life

Recently, Ginger threw a little birthday dinner for her daddies. It was important she look her best so she wore her faux mink stole. Here she is with Darren enjoying the festivities. She was the star of the night!

You Aint Nothing But a Houndstooth Dog

Queen of Hearts

We have renamed Ginger "Queen of Hearts". Reason??? She has a pink bed with hearts all over it and she just got a new sweater with red and black hearts on it and a fur collar.

A Public Service Announcement From Ginger!

Only one week left to do your Christmas shopping.

I wear a size small and my favorite colors are pink and purple......

Play Date

Last night I came home after doing some Christmas shopping. I put my jammies on, lit the tree and garland, put on a fire and settled in to do some gift wrapping. Joe and Darren called and asked if they could bring Ginger by for a couple of hours while they attended a holiday party.

Ever since Frank left us Ginger's been very needy and even a little sad. She always had her big brother by her side. She never had to stay in the house alone. EVER! I had mentioned to the boys that if they had somewhere to go, they shouldn't feel guilty leaving her, they could bring her over to mine. Edie would LOVE a play date with her cousin Ginger!!

So, here's a sneak peak......Little Edie danced around Ginger for 2 hours. Ginger loved being with me but kept looking around like "but why are we HERE??" "what's THIS place?" She was so happy when Darren came back in to get her. Little Edie was worn out. She promptly passed out in my lap as soon as Ginger left.

Elvis Has Left The Building....

Ginger is resting quietly today. She had a REALLY big day yesterday. She must be emotionally and physically spent...... You see yesterday Ginger met her new cousin. Joe's brother Tommy and his daughter Natalie came to visit and brought their new Great Dane puppy named Luke. Uncle Joe immediately insisted the puppy be renamed Elvis! So the verdict is still out on the name. Luke? Elvis? Elvis Luke??? Natalie will decide.

Elvis Luke is totally adorable. His paws are HUGE. He is a very sweet boy. Next time we see him he will probably be the size of a horse. Hopefully Natalie will keep us posted with pics and stories.

And of course, this story would not be complete without a video showing how Ginger reacted to meeting her new cousin. As if this wasn't enough.....after Elvis Luke left, Little Edie came over and spent the rest of the evening harrassing the crap out of Ginger. Poor Ginger just can't catch a break....

Update - Natalie has decided that the name will reman as Luke!

More on Frank.....

Here are some video outtakes of Frank with his sister Ginger....

And the Gold Medal Goes To.....

Here's Ginger, the synchronized swimmer, doing her 'air swimming' routine. If you put Ginger over any type of water, ie, sprinkler, sink with running faucet, bathtub, pool....she automatically starts paddling!

It's the Evolutionary Story for the Day

Today's dog breed description is of Joe and Darren's other dog Ginger. I couldn't help laughing when I read this because it is so right on. This is basically Ginger to a "T" (for Terrier, of course)!

The Manchester Terrier

"The AKC Standard says, "The Manchester Terrier presents a sleek, sturdy, yet elegant look... with a keen, bright, alert expression." The lively Manchester, keenly observant and discerning, is more devoted to her owner, more responsive, and better mannered than some other terriers.

Athletic and agile, she is best suited to active families, as she enjoys brisk walking every day and all-out running whenever she can get it. However, she must be kept on-leash or in a securely fenced area at all times, for she is very curious, has strong hunting instincts, and will chase anything. Manchester Terriers love to play -- with you, with another dog, or by themselves (with or without a toy!).

With her acute senses and wariness of strangers, the Manchester Terrier makes an excellent watchdog, but early socialization is imperative so that she does not become sharp or timid. Manchesters are not given to fiery posturing with other dogs and are generally accepting, but they will stand their ground and fight when challenged or when they feel their space has been invaded. Two adults of the same sex should not be kept together. Smaller creatures, including low-flying birds, will be pursued with determination.

The Manchester Terrier is smart and trainable if you are a confident, consistent leader who can smile at her antics, yet not allow her to outwit you. She is exceedingly sensitive to physical corrections, so use a light hand on the leash and rely more on praise and food rewards. (Food in moderation, please: she tends to pack on pounds quickly.)

Manchesters are comfort-loving dogs who seek out soft beds and often tunnel under the covers. They can be possessive of their food and toys and some like to bark." The Manchester Terrier was developed in Manchester, England, to hunt vermin. She especially excelled in rat-killing contests, a fashionable gambling activity in British pubs.

There are two sizes: Standard and Toy. Size Standard: 15-17 inches and 12-22 lbs. Toy: 8-13 inches and 8-12 lbs.
