Another beautiful spring day! Greeted by Mattie, waiting impatiently for me to let dogs out ... Ginger vibrant and lively today, took all for long AM run, the wild plums are starting to bloom! Banshee heads straight for the cave under the chinaberry tree, Ginger flushes up some quail, Snoopy and Mattie chase balls, DB runs in ever widening circles, Ginger joins her ... the beautiful pointer and the lovely red setter, leaping through the ever growing grasses ... return to trailer, give Ginger med, feed and kennel all. Let out again awhile later, all join me in cutting branches ... Ginger stays with me the whole time, the others go off on their own, returning whenever I pause (I understand how they can tell I've stopped mowing, but HOW do they know when I've stopped cuting branches?) Ginger seems tired, so back to the trailer, the others hang out with husband and workers ... after lunch and housework, I do some mowing, Ginger refreshed from her nap stays with me up and down, back and forth ... she has always done this, trotted along beside me wherever I go, now I have to watch to make sure she doesnt get too tuckered out, so I stop more often ... back to the trailer to finish the wash (had to stop when husband cut off water, something about fixing a breaker for the pump house) ... late afternoon now, let Ginger rest while I fix dogs' food, then go out again to prune a few more trees (yes, I ave a LOT oftrees that have to be pruned, and am going to have to burn the cutting tomorrow, the pile is above my head now) ... back to trailer, get the food and Ginger, feed and kennel all (Mattie has been here ALL day) ... its dark now, get Ginger for evening meds and supper ... now she's lively again, takes two trips outside to run in the dark (and turn on the motion lights) to settle her down ... another good day for my sweet red girl, still dancing ...
I'd like to share with you a message I got this morning from a dear friend 'I know that in January you thought Ginger would not get to experience the warmth of Spring BUT....God gave her the strength from all the prayers, good thoughts and best wishes across the world, to romp, bask in the sunshine, run with her ears flying in the wind, and He also gave her the capacity to touch strangers in a way that would not ordinarily have happened. Ginger is truly a gift from God and every second she is here, she is doing His work. People don't normally think animals can do this but they do and Ginger is the Ambassador of Awareness, love of God's creatures. faith, and proof that prayers REALLY do work and continue to work through her and through you.' ... I continue to be touched and amazed at the outpouring of love for Ginger, and humbled by the expressions of faith revealed that are accompanying her journey... I can never thank you all enough for being a part of this .
