Thread: Ginger's gift to me.

  1. #1

    Ginger's gift to me.

    I wasn't ready for another dog. I still cry over Ginger. But for some reason she wanted to help. I don't know if it was to help me or help another dog like her, but on Sunday I picked up Soda's mother from the breeder and she now lives with us. When you see her you will see why it's so odd, and her story is exactly like Ginger's. She was attacked by two other females at the breeders, and was no longer safe living there. That happened on Saturday. The breeder had two other people interested in her if she was ever going to rehome her, but she didn't want to send her to them, she said she felt like she needed to ask us, even though it seemed too soon, if we wanted her. I didn't know, I told her I would have to think about it. I prayed about it, and we discussed it as a family, and felt that Ginger wanted us to take her. She had been through so much just like my Ginger girl. Her breeder said she also felt like she was being told to ask us first. She is a very sweet 5 year old girl. Her name was Raven but we call her Ray, because she is like a Ray of sunshine.




    Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!


    I love you baby, passed away 03/04/2008

    Hi there, Ray,

    You new mom really needed a bit of sunshine in her life just now, and it sounds like maybe you needed a change too. I pray that this is a wonderful situation for ALL of you!

    Maybe you recognize that Soda boy a little bit? He has a little something that seems 'familiar?"

    Yep, sometimes the time is just right. Some things were meant to be. I think that you and Ray will be perfect for each other. I think you will find that you will both be able to help each other heal from recent events (not forget loved ones, just heal from the deep hurt).

    Welcome to Pet Talk, Ray.

    I'm so sorry to hear about Ginger. I tend to steer clear of Dog Mem because its just TOO sad for me. I feel so bad for everyone. So again, my deepest apologies.

    Ray is just stunning... She reminds me of Eli.. Love the brindling. Aww.. It definitely sounds like Ginger was telling you to take her. Nice of the breeder to call you. How could you ever resist that face?!

    This is happy news today. I believe this was meant to be. How is everyone getting along so far? I think Ray has found herself a wonderful home. What a lucky girl.

    She is beautiful, Shirley! Absolutely beautiful. How wonderful of Ginger to send her to you especially since she was in such a need to get in a home where the other pups accepted her.

    Welcome to Pet Talk, Ray!
    We must get pictures of all three ASAP.

    Awww, she is beautiful! Thank you Ginger for sending her to your mommy.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    She is beautiful, I would of taken her as a sign too.

    I was wondering how Soda is with her? It must be nice having mum and baby. Is she still going to be used by the breeder or is she going to be spayed now?
