Hey Joe,
My baby's name is Ginger too. She's a pound puppy. She's part german shepard and part Rhodesian Ridgeback. For those of you who don't know what a Rhodesian Ridgeback is it's a dog breed in Africa to hunt lions. When she gets worked up, her hair down her back stands up. She weighs bout 85 lbs and is very well behaved...in fact she listens better sometimes than my children do!!
She can do many tricks too...sit, down, all the way down (puts her head on the floor), sit up, bow, gives her paw then gives her other paw, she will sit still while I put a treat on her nose then waits til I tell her OK, she stays/stops and heels quite good so I don't have to use a leach on her.
We also have a rabbit which is my daugher, Nicole's. Actually Coby is quite friendly...but he didn't used to be. He will come to my hubby when he rubs/scratches the floor, he runs circles around my legs when I get a treat for him, uses a litter box and best of all, goes into his cage when I ring a bell. So nice not to have to chase him around to get him in his cage at night.
Animals can be such a comfort at times.
Michelle
