Ginger

gratituesday23Last sat. my mom and I were out shopping in downtown Acworth. We were just walking along when this sweet dog walked up to us. She didn’t have a collar on and no one was around. A girl from one of the stores yelled down to us asking if this was our dog? Apparently she had been walking around for a while. They were getting ready to call Animal Control but couldn’t find the number. We couldn’t just leave her there to walk around main street. I begged Brantley to let me bring her home until we found her family and he finally agreed. My mom and took the dog, bought her some food and took her home. We took her to Petsmart to have her scanned, thinking she may have been chipped. She was chipped but not registered so the only info they could give us was that she came from the Hiram Animal Hospital. The animal hospital was closed on sat so we had to wait until monday to hear anything. Monday morning rolled around and Petsmart caled me back. The lady told me they had a lead as to who her owners might be. As of tuesday we hadn’t found her owners yet. I put up ads online on a few pet finder sites but I didn’t hear anything. Over the week we fell in love with sweet Ginger. (We learned her name from the Hiram Animal Hospital) My mom also really liked Ginger and wanted to keep her if we didn’t find her family. On sat, now a week since we found her, we let Ginger go stay with mom. I was very sad to say good bye to Ginger, she was so much fun to have for the week. On monday morning I received a call about someone looking for a dog. I called them back and sure enough Ginger was theirs. I picked up Ginger from my mom’s and the family came and picked her up from my house. I had to say goodbye again. ;(  They were so glad to have her their doggie back. They gave us a reward, so we spilt it with my mom. Brantley and I went to Longhorn for dinner last night and had a great time. I am going to miss Ginger very much but I am glad we found her family. Hopefully Brantley will let me get a dog soon!! :) `
