Ginger

We adopted Ginger in January of this year. We wanted to give her a fresh start, so we renamed her Pepper for her salt and pepper (brindle) coat. She was antsy and reluctant to come to us when we first brought her home, but with the encouragement of our 14 month old doxie Frankie, she quickly learned how to play, use the doggy door and that Mom and Dad= love and affection. Frankie and Pepper were thick as thieves from the beginning, playing, wrestling and napping together 24/7. Frankie loves being the center of attention so Pepper quickly learned how to step in front and lay on top of him to vie for our attention and kisses. She is a very curious little thing and likes to follow us around in the morning, stopping in front of us now and again to sit down and examine the action around her. She has a little overbite that we think gives her pretty face a little character.

Since Pepper spent the first 6 months of her life confined to a cage, our vet was concerned about the lack of muscle mass that she had developed. I’m happy to say that since we’ve brought her into our family, she has gained 2 healthy pounds and between racing Frankie around the yard and taking walks around the neighborhood, she is stronger than ever. She is even able to jump up on the couch, which you can tell she is very proud of!

We love Pepper and are so thankful that through NMDR we were able to find the perfect addition to our little family.
