Like most dogs, our company's mascot has equally served us well and been a bit of a liability. She came to us as a puppy and one day escaped her kennel and chewed on furniture and chewed a hole into the carpet. Then there was the time she knew someone was trying to break into our house and she was my protector until the police arrived. She has bypassed electric fences and dug holes in my flower garden. She has gladly cleaned spills from my kitchen floor and the occasional messy child. She has shed every spring and summer and fall for 11 years. She poops where she wants, never in the same place unless it is in the neighbor's yard. She tussled with a skunk last summer and lost. BTW--3 baths with baking soda mixed with dawn dish soap finally did the trick. She is getting old and has bumps on her skin and a white muzzle. She sleeps most of the day UNTIL you say the word "cat" then she jumps to attention and acts like a spunky 2 year-old.
She has been
tolerant of all the little children in her life with only giant licks as her
retaliation.
(O has adored her from the very beginning. You can see the
tolerance on the Mascot's face.)
O wanted a picture taken with the Mascot.
Every time O got close the Mascot wanted to "kiss" her.
So, cheers to the Mascot. You have served us well. But, please no more skunks and try to poop in your own yard.

Ginger has definably taken care of your family. One of the first times I heard Bread swear was when he was trying to fix the hole in the carpet, but that was followed by the time she scared a would be intruder from your property in Twin Falls. What a dog.
Love Loren
I loved this post. She is such a good dog. I wrote an essay once on all the dogs we have had. She reminds me of our Lady. Oh oh, here come the tears!! Love, Mom
