My Diary

Preparing to Cross the Bridge

Hi all my furry friends,
I know I haven't been around much lately. I am not feeling well and now the meds don't seem to be helping much. I think I will be crossing over the bridge sometime this week. Both of my moms want to be with me when I cross over, so I'm not scared.

I probably won't post anymore and will have to turn the posting over to Sadie, but you guys will like Sadie too. Don't be sad for me. I am going some place where I can breathe and run and play, like I did when I was a puppy. I just know there is a giant lizard there that I can hunt all day. I know Sammy and Storm and Scotty will be there waiting for me, so I am going to be fine.

I do worry about my moms though. I know they love me and this is going to be very hard for them. So I would ask all of you to keep them in your prayers and check in on them now and then. I am glad they have the rest of the Badlands Crew to keep them company. Maybe that will make it a little easier on them.

Over the last few months, I have met some really wunderful paw pals. Mini and Margo, Gizzy and Bo and all the rest of you, too many to name. I cherish those friendships.

Anyway, thanks for letting me bark in your ears and tell you stories and what life is like here at the Badlands. Until we meet again... Now go on out there and do something nice for someone and make the world a little brighter.
Luv always,
Ginger!

Human Company

Hi all my furry friends,
How are things in your neck of the woods? Do you even live in the woods, BOL. We don't, we live on the prairie, with a couple of trees. Our favorite tree is a fruit tree that grow these round things called pursimmuns. All of us like to eat them, green or ripe. The tree is full of little green balls now and we are constantly reaching up and grabbing the ones we can reach and pulling them off to eat them, tree and all. I don't think it makes mom happy, but, what's she gonna do, BOL.

We had human company this week. My mom is so funny. She gets so excited when humans come to visit. I thought she would kill herself with all the cleaning and cooking. Boy, that kitchen smelled reeeel good. She made chicken parmesan and even had a lemon cake for desert. I would eat them both if mom would have let me. Okay, she gave me a bite, so I guess I can't complain. You should have seen Sophie freak out when the company got here. She don't get to see many people, well none of us do, but Sophie is especially scared. Mom had to put her on a leash til she got used to the company. I think she was scared Sophie would bite them. Sophie was just protecting us. Anyway, it all went fine.

I've been having more of my coughing spells lately. I dunno why, cause it isn't as hot outside as it was a week before. Maybe something is in the air, or, BOL, maybe too many of those green things. Mom is making me stay quiet, so that helps. She gave me another hair cut last week and combed me out good. Oh man, that poor woman can't cut hair. Glad I don't have to go anywhere.

Well, that's about all for now. Not really much exciting happening these days. I hope some of you have been on vacation and will write me and tell me all about your vacations. Prayers of peace and happiness out to all. Now go out there and do something nice for someone and make this world a little brighter.
Luv,
Ginger

NO FOOD IN THE HAIR!!

Hi all my furry friends,
Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend. Let's talk about the weather...We had a cold front come in on Friday and even had an eentsy beensty bit of rain. We never made it to triple digits, YAY!!
This morning it was only 73º when we went outside. It was NICE!!! We all got to spend lots of time outside and we had a lot of fun.

Mom made that box in the backyard smoke this weekend. That always makes us happy, cause that means steak or something good. This weekend, it was steak! Mom is such a pushover when it comes to the "puppy dog eyes", BOL. We all just gather around her feet and just watch, with such intent. Sophie is funny, cause she lays her head on mom's lap and then just looks up at mom. Mom, don't fall for it! I am cuter, BOL. She always shares a little with us, but on this night, when she tossed me a bite at me, I didn't see it land. I could smell it, but I couldn't see it. Let me look behind, nope, not there. Mom, what did you do with it. I am circling now, going nutz. Hey! You guys get off me! Why are you all circling me? Where is my steak?? Mom, starts laughing. Not funny, mom, I can't find my bite. It is then that she reaches down and pulls my bite out of the hair on the back of my neck and gives it to me. Very funny mom!

Lots of you have asked about the story I sent out last week about Spooky and his adventures. You wanted to know about that stray kitty. Well, Spooky's family couldn't take the little kitty, but that nice shelter lady took her to find her a nice home. She is going to be fine :)

Today, we are still praying for for Margo's friend, Brenda, who is battling some serious health issues. Everyone around here is healthy this week, so far, but we want to pray for all thos people and animals out there who are homeless and feel they have nothing to hope for.

Now go on out there and do something nice for someone and make the world a little brighter.
Luv,
Ginger
