Ginger’s Journey

Pippin and Helen

chauffered the gorgeous Ginger

up Alligator Alley

to the rest stop…

to meet Amy.

Then the lovely Ginger

changed cars and Amy bid Pippin adieu. Amy is very fond of Pippin.

Then Amy, who is also fond of Ginger, chauffered our red sweetie to the end of Ginger’s journey. Ginger will stay in a house with very loving people and other loving Dobies over night until her appointment in the morning for x-ray and hopefully surgery. If the x-ray shows cancer, no surgery. So we are hoping and praying no cancer!

Pippin sat in the front seat on the way back down

Alligator Alley

till we got home. Then everyone who didn’t go was very happy to see Pippin and Helen, and wondered where Ginger was. After explaining that Ginger would be home tomorrow, everyone got very hungry. An hour later, dinner was served by Chef Helen.

But one bowl was empty for this night. And it’s only one night, but it’s a very lonely bowl and a lonely space where our Ginger sleeps and fills our hearts.

Good night Ginger. See you tomorrow.

Thank you Amy and Jude.

About Helen

I'm a Southern California living in South Florida. I've been here for 10 years as of October 1, 2007. No matter where I live, I'm a dog lover, and my breed is the Dobermann Pinscher of the Working Group. I am also fond of the Australian Shepherd of the Herding Group. My life revolves around my dogs, which is something those family members of mine don't understand. So I'm an island in that respect, but have built friendships with those who are doggie lovers and respect the canine as much as I do. Some do rescue, some train in, compete in, and judge AKC trials. The common thread is our dogs are family.
