Ginger

16

This is Ginger the new addition to the family. She's 8 weeks old and seems to be fitting in family nicely, a bit of separation anxiety but this is to be expected. Dianne picked Ginger out earlier this week and drove down to Price, Utah to get her. Dianne picked the same “Ginger” since the last pouch was Cinnamon Dianne wanted to keep with the spice motif. Ginger is basically house broken but has her moments. She has been doing her business out side on schedule. The pup shivers a lot but goes outside readily when offered. We have had her two nights now and she does “cry” a lot during the night but we have her sequestered in the front of the house thus her yelping and howling has not bothered me. The breeder told Dianne that Ginger will do this for the first couple of nights then she should settle down.

We were quite spoiled with Cinnamon, who was a bit older when we rescued Cinn off Death Row. Cinnamon was totally house broken and we never has problems with Cinnamon. In fact we were a bit spoiled Cinnamon . We are not trying to replace Cinnamon, we know we could never do that. Cinnamon was the perfect dog for us. However, we have missed not having a dog around and figured it was time to move on with another.

Anakah is over for the night and of course Anakah has fallen in love with Ginger and has taken on the role of prime caretaker. This is Anakah's first real experience with a puppy. Cinnamon overwhelmed Anakah there was always a level of fear toward Cinnamon that is not present with Ginger. Already Ginger has taken to following Anakah round and I am sure will sleep in the room with the dog tonight so I am hoping Ginger will cry less tonight letting everyone sleep a little bit better.
