Girl's Best Friend

 I think it's about time for Ginger to get another little spotlight on the blog.  Since moving to "the new house" (not sure when Elli will stop calling it the new house), Ginger is actually behaving more like a dog!  She barks (but not too much!), she chases squirrels, she seeks out the shady spots to take a snooze, she eats dead something-or-others (ick... that's another story).  She is living the doggy life and loving every minute of it!

At least every minute that Elli allows her to...

And before you fear for my daughter's life as she sticks her hands near such a vicious snarl, let me assure you that all is well.  Elli is in fact causing that scary looking face by force feeding her a stick from the yard, and Ginger never even bothers to move away.

 Even when Elli misses her mouth entirely and pokes her in the eye.

 Seriously... Best. Dog. Ever.

And you know those pictures where they put pets and their owners side by side and you laugh because they look exactly alike?  Well, these two may not look exactly alike, but they are mastering similar expressions.
