Ginger came into our lives when she was 13 months old. A friend of a friend of a friend needed a to find a home for his Chocolate Lab when he could no longer keep her. After three phone calls my husband finally relented and went to take a look at her. My instructions were not to bring home a "horse" that would jump on you and bark all the time. Ginger had already been left with someone else and was in a small, filthy kennel with several other dogs. And, of course, she was jumping and barking, though not really large for a Lab. On the way to see her, my husband had been thinking about what would be a good name for a Chocolate Lab. He has a very "Far Side" sense of humor and had always said that he would name a solid colored dog "Spot", a white dog "Blackie", or a mixed-breed "Phydeaux" (It's a Cajun thing). But it occurred to him that these would not be suitable for a Chocolate Lab. The name that came to mind was "Ginger". Back to the kennel...thinking to himself "My wife will kill me if I bring this dog home", he asked her name. When the 'caretaker' replied "Ginger", he said the hair on the back of his neck stood up and all he could say was "Load her up".
The next day, we bought a large kennel and doghouse for her. One in which she spent exactly one night. She became a house dog and slept on a mat by my husbands side of the bed, sometimes on the foot of the bed when he was working.
For the next 8 years Ginger was our constant shadow, companion, and friend. My husband trained her to retrieve ducks and she loved being on a hunt with the guys.
She was sweet and gentle. Many times she caught birds that got trapped in our screened patio, brought them to us and placed them in our hands, unharmed. She would watch with satisfaction as we released them.
Eight years and two and one-half months was far too short a time to be blessed with her presence. Just how special she was, was shown by the number of visitors who came to tell her good-bye and the tears shed by all who had the pleasure of stroking her soft head and seeing her wagging tail.
James 1:17 says, "Every good and perfect gift is from above..."
We have no doubt that our beloved Ginger was a gift from our Heavenly Father. We miss her so much, but would not have traded having her for anything in the world.

They're Only Ours for a Little While
by Nancy Hanson (Dedicated to the memory of Duke and Sam)
We humans are prone to chase rainbows,
always wanting that pot of gold.
But the wisest of us remember the joy
of just a small creature to hold.
Allow yourself to accept their great gift,
and know what devotion is worth.
If you've been loved by a dog or cat,
you're the richest person on earth.
But their lives are lived in miniature-
bright sun to palest moon.
They bless our days with innocence,
and faithfulness that's stilled too soon.
These precious lives are fragile,
as fleeting as a baby's smile.
So give them all the love you have.
They're only ours for a little while.
And in the lonely moments
when you pause to wonder why,
hold close those brightest shooting stars
that burn so briefly in our sky.
But then look deeper in your heart
to know all love must intertwine,
and when the night sky seems the darkest,
you'll see their light forever shine.

I found a penny today'
just lying on the ground
but it's not just a penny
this little coin I've found.
Found pennies come from heaven
thats what my Grandpa told me
he said Angels toss them down
oh how I loved that story.
He said when an Angel misses you
they toss a penny down
sometimes just to cheer you up
to make a smile out of your frown
so don't pass by that penny
when you're feeling blue
it may be a penny from heaven
that an Angel's tossed to you.xxx

GINGER
A SECRET
Author Unknown
"We have a secret, you and I
that no one else shall know,
for who but I can see you lie
each night in fire glow?
And who but I can reach my hand
before we go to bed
and feel the living warmth of you
and touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths
and see ahead of me,
your small form racing with the wind
so young again, and free.
And only I can see you swim
in every brook I pass
and when I call, no one but I
can see the bending grass."
