Sunny but COLD .. windy. Let dogs out for AM run, no problems, gave Banshee sock (one of her favorite 'carry with' toys) and threw ball for Snoopy. Invigorating run for dogs, cold as heck for me (and my allergies are acting up) ... gave Ginger meds. fed and kenneled. let out again around 10, Mattie (the next door JRT) joined us... I don't usually cotton to little dogs, but I love JRTs ... so full of zip and playful (and good rat catchers too) if the neighbor ever wants to get rid of her, she's got a home with me (of course I'd have to put smaller wire opening fence up...)... of course Ginger doesnt 'play', she watches as Mattie runs UNDER her then reappears on other side. DB is expecially cute, she chases Mattie but holds herself back so her nose is just at Mattie's tail, then they run in circles and Mattie jumps over DB. threw ball for Snoopy, found a bunch of 'hidden balls; out in the pine tree section. Banshee steals ball from Snoopy, Snoopy lets her, then steals it back when Banshee not looking. Back after a half hour, too cold for me still ... Ginger is now asleep on the kitchen floor, others milling around on porch, watching the Damcat through the sliding glass door (the Damcat is taking a bath, taunting the dogs...)
I wish I had a video camera and could take a video of Ginger running ... its beautiful to watch, even in her sweatshirt (if it gets warmer today will take it off..) The Irish setter 'trot', the lope, and the canter, her head and tail outstretched ... her muscles rippling, her ears flying ... ah, beauty ...
Warmed up nicely in afternon. Picked up branches, went for several runs, dogs played with the horses in back through the fence, (Ginger and Snoopy touch noses with the horses, Banshee barks, DB runs around in circles) helped husband and worker with fixing busted pipe and wiring, greeted the Net satellite people who came to fix the modem, watched the robins building a nest (uhoh, I love it when the dogs dispatch mice and moles ... but leave the baby birds ALONE!!) ... fed and kenneled at nightfall. a nice normal day... God is good! It's now been 2 months since Ginger's illness began ... and except for the first 2 weeks when she was in hospital, she has been well and happy. Thank you all for your continued prayers and support!
