8/3/08 - Ginger is doing great. After our camping trip to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia last summer she  really realized she was in her forever home. Sadly we lost our male boxer a few months ago leaving Ginger the alpha dog, a responsibility that may be a little much for her because she developed some dog aggression. We have since gone to obedience training and she is doing great! (Best in the class! Honest!)  We will continue with more advanced training in the fall. Ginger has recently gotten a senior "sister" boxer and they are both trying to get along. It may take a little time but we all take daily walks together and get along well while we are walking.
Ginger is as gentle with kids as she is big (almost 100 lbs). My 8 year old granddaughter loves nothing more than to curl up with Ginger for the night. Ginger loves it too.

6/22/07 - Ginger has been adopted

5/31/07 - Ginger has fit in very well with 7 year old Rocket, the mostly boxer, and FOB Candy the Pekingese. She is a calm, happy, girl. Ginger is enjoying our fenced-in yard, chasing chipmunks and sniffing everything. She is very well mannered, no jumping, trash picking, or counter surfing.  Ginger was happy to meet my 7 year old grand-daughter, she has liked everyone she has met, even though the shelter said she was leery of strangers. We took Ginger took to the beach, and she doesn't even mind getting her feet wet.
Ginger is  in good health, UTD on shots, she needs a heart worm test. I have a vet appointment for Tuesday to get that done.
