Ginger of the Flying Ears blog is born, and Sat Feb.6 update

Since my Ginger was diagnosed with lymphoma Jan.9, I have been posting daily updates on her 'journey through the valley of the shadow of death' to Facebook, emailing to several lists, and, to numerous friends .... some folks have missed some of the 'entries' and so I've created a blog for Ginger, where I'll post the updates ... the name 'Ginger of the Flying Ears' was given to her by a dear cyber friend, who when all this first happened got a clear picture of Ginger in her mind, ...'the picture so clear in my head that has Ginger running like a crazy thing, ears streaming behind her.' and started calling her Ginger of the Flying Ears .... and yes, Ginger has come back to the point she does run , not as fast or as far, but yes, the ears are flying..... keep up with her journey here....
 
Sat Feb.6
Ginger very lively again today! Slept late, let all dogs out, brought Ginger in and gave meds, then took for AM run, fed and kenneled. Cold windy cloudy, but at least not raining! Had another run around lunchtime, let Ginger in for a nap, others settle down on porch out of the wind. Brush Banshee, DB and Snoopy, am feeling like I'm neglecting my other dogs ... Banshee apparently thinks so too, as she had a brief hissy fit at Snoopy for interrupting 'her turn to be brushed'.  Another brief run mid afternoon (gosh its really chilly out) then husband threw ball for Snoopy while I tried to clean my trailer ... which still looks like a tornado went through it. Early evening, took all dogs for van ride to store, back after dark, fed and kenneled. Husband went and got Ginger for evening meds, brought her in, she'd managed to get out of her sweatshirt and left it in her pen, plus taken a day's worth of poops in her pen ... all her sweatshirts now dirty, threw into washer and am going out in a minute to clean the pen (not easy in the dark, hopefully husband will come and hold flashlight:-)

A good day for Ginger, no bad side effects, had 2 good runs and a van ride, and is still raring to go, in fact right this moment she and the Damcat are competing with annoying me while on the computer, large red dog climbing on my lap, small black and white cat throwing pens and eye glasses at me.... ah, all is normal. Your continued prayers and support have made this possible .... no doubt in my mind.
