Those of you who follow us on Facebook saw this little teaser post yesterday…
So, without further adieu…meet the little lady we are affectionately referring to as “Ginger, Jr” for obvious reasons.
Ginger Jr. looks so much like her namesake that I honestly could not think of a better name for her. G.Jr. was found as a stray and has been pretty stressed out living in the shelter. After hearing that Ginger Rogers’ adoption was going to be finalized, I scooped up G.Jr. from the adoption event so I could give her a chance to de-stress at our house.
G.Jr. is 1 or 2 years old and some kind of pit mix, although we are not sure exactly what she is mixed with. She appears to be potty trained and is picking up on our rules pretty quickly, but this girl has major puppy energy that we have not been around in quite some time! She has the puppy flop down cold, bunny hops all over the backyard, and is the biggest nerd I’ve ever met. Seriously.
Oh, and don’t let those piercing green eyes fool you – left to her own devices, she WILL steal your shoes, dig up your pepper plant, or systematically hoard all of your tupperware lids in her crate. Like I said, she’s a nerd.

PeeS. What does Turk think of her?

Mayzie, Turk is still not sure what to think of her. We took a long hard look at the mistakes we made with Ginger Rogers and re-evaluated how we did our intros. We took our sweet time integrating her into our house, and while Turk and G.Jr. will play and play and play in the backyard, she is on tie-down inside the house and we never leave Turk unattended with her. This seems to be working for us – I am not sure she’ll be with us for very long, but we are not going to take any chances this time!

Emily, you are awesome! Jumping right in and scooping that sweet nerd up! Can’t wait to see what you do for each other!

Em, you are one lucky lady to have such a supportive and patient husband (serious props to you Daniel)! Jr is an even luckier girl. I hope Turk takes over the blog again soon so we can hear his scoop on her!

Very patient, supportive, awesome, sweet, etc, etc, etc. I am acutely aware that I married waaaaaaaaay above my position! 😉

Not above at all! You balance each other well. The dreamer in you needs the realist in him and vice versa. I’m sure that the pups appreciate your differences too!

HOORAY! She’s gorgeous… I love her green eyes! And that yawning shot totally reminds me of Zoe. What a goof. 🙂 I definitely know what you mean by puppy energy; it’s great that you have a backyard where she can burn some of that off. Can’t wait to hear more about her!

seeing a new pup’s personality come out in the first few days/weeks is so much fun … can’t wait to hear more about G. Jr.’s adventures!

Wahoo!! It’s good for GJr to be on tie down right off the bat. It isn’t like she had total freedom, then it went away. I do love her beautiful eyes!

Oh man. Puppy energy sucks/is awesome. Let’s hear it for once-wayward dogs that pick up potty training real fast. G. Jr. and Charlie Machete must have gone to the same pre-school — for one day.
