Our Girl Is Gone
No,she wasn't a great steel player or country singer,but she didn't mind sittin & watchin' me pick & she was the first one in the room @ rehearsals.Her name was Ginger.It's amazing how quiet this house is without her.I spent all night sittin' up with her.She was really sweet & will be missed.God Bless You,Ginger,you were a REALLY good girl.

Bob, I am sorry about your loss of Ginger. Having a dog is like having a child that grows up in your house and passes away as a teenager.
I have a four year old mixed German Shepard/lab named Ginger. She showed up at our house on labor day of 2009 and we kept her. She now is the boss of the house. Best thing is that I have lost 50 pounds since then from walking her two or three miles a day.
I have three dogs buried in my back yard. They all lived to be 17 years old and they all passed away a few years apart. I sure do miss them.

Bob,
My condolences to you on the loss of your beloved pet. As others have said, it's never, ever easy. I've lost several either to just old age or, shockingly, I've had one dog that was taken from me as a child and then had two dogs killed by someone feeding them glass! I don't understand how ANYONE can be so CRUEL to such caring animals!!

One of our best friends
Bob, It's so sickeningly sad to see your "Best Friends" go ........I know, we've had it happen many times over the years.
We currently have four dogs at the moment, the male is a cross, his wife is a purebred and we have the "runt" of one of their families.
Our daughter didn't think we had enough doggie family, so she bought us another to add to the family.
They are all extremely loveable and cuddlesome.
Take care friend.
All Z.B.est.
