![]() TESS (now GINGER)
Aug 2003: Tess got a new name to go with her new family. She is now Ginger and appears to be settling in well and gaining confidence every day. On day #3 she writes: "When Lori took me on a walk I even wagged my tail a little today! That was a first instead of tucking it between my legs. I'm still a little less sure about walks (safer in my own yard), but I am walking with my head held higher usually and I notice sometimes they have to jog a little to keep up with my quick pace."
Nov 2014, Lori writes: We celebrated 11 years with Ginger at the end of August. 11 years. How's that possible? We think she's about 13 now. All white in the face. She had surgery on her shoulder/side of spine last year to remove a cancerous lump. Unfortunately, it's come back and is growing. An x-ray shows it hasn't spread to her chest at this time. Because of her age, we really don't want to put her under and try to remove it as well. Her vet is thrilled that she's done so well after the first surgery and frankly didn't think she'd make it to now. So, we are enjoying our sweet girl, giving lots of belly rubs and love, and watching her to make sure she's still happy and enjoying life. She's all white in her face now... She has been such an awesome part of our family. I tell people all the time about Utah Vizsla rescue and tell them Ginger's story. She's come so far from that sweet puppy shaking in the corner and so afraid of the world. We are so happy we found her!
Jul 2015: Hi Rebecca, I thought you'd want to know that Ginger died last week on Tuesday, July 21st. The end of August marks 12 years since we adopted her. It's hard to believe. I hope all is well with you and the pups. Please visit Ginger at The Bridge.
