We have had quite a few sad days at out house. Last Friday Addie had a friend over to play. They decided to go in the backyard and say hi to Ginger. Ginger some how got spooked and bit Addie's friend on the lip, she needed about 5 stitches. There were other scrapes on her face as well. After talking to several Veterinarians, they decided (along with us) that due to her health, and age it would be better to have Ginger put to sleep. Because it was a bit the authorities had to get involved. We had a police officer come and pick Ginger up from the house and take her to the local Animal Shelter. Well as of today, Ginger is no longer with us. This has been very devastating on the all of us, especially Mike.
Almost 10 years ago Addie asked for a brown down with a brown dog house for Christmas. Lady and the Tramp had just come out and that is all that she would watch and that is all that she wanted for Christmas, no matter how hard we tried to talk her into something else. It is amazing how she just became one of us. We are going to miss her deeply. We did have a little session talking about the wonderful things she did and that we remember.
*she would always wait by the gate when you were coming or going.
*when we would BBQ she always new she was getting some of the drippings.
*she loved to go on walks
*she loved chasing the KITTIES (she couldn't ever catch them)
*she would always with Mike to tuck Addie in, she would snuggle up in her arm
*every night before we would go to bed and even in the mornings she new she was getting a treat.
There are many more wonderful things that she brought into our lives and we are going to miss her dearly.

We will miss her as well. I don't remember coming to your home without Ginger being there. Hope you are all doing okay.
She was for sure a sweet girl, and I will miss seeing her when we visit! I hope that you and Mike and the girls are able to cope with this loss, and remember all of the fun memories that you have listed!! I'm so sorry you have to go through this!!
So sorry, Debbie. It is never easy to lose a family pet. We have had to suffer through a few times at our house, as well. Kelly and I look at it as a way for the kids to learn about death without having to lose a person they are close to in their lives, and so maybe a blessing in a round about way. Anyway, best of luck... is a new puppy on the way? haha!
We love Ginger! We will miss her always hanging around when we are out your house and even taking care of her when you are out of town. We loved her and will miss her. You are in our prayers right now and we love you guys!
Oh, Debbie, I hadn't heard. I am so very sorry for your family. I remember how devastating it was for us to say goodbye to our pets. I hope you guys are doing okay. You're in our thoughts and prayers.
Hey Deb and Mike-- So sorry to hear about Ginger! She was such a sweet girl. If the kids get lonely and are in need of a good dog kiss, I will be happy to bring Diesel over.
Dogs become a huge part of a family, and I am sure Ginger will always be remembered.

I will miss her staring through Addies bathroom window, watching her stare up the street where she had chased the cat too, and of course her happy face when we would come over. I am so sorry for your families loss. We love you guys so much!!!
