Queen of the Household

Readers of my blog know that we got a puppy last fall. Ginger is almost a year old now and has turned into an exceptional dog. She is the sweetest puppy you've ever seen and is very well trained in the things that matter most--she's perfectly house broken. She's a little willful, but obedient most of the time. She pretty much runs the house now. Here's a picture of Ginger resting on her favorite spot--our bed.

You may have seen the commercial where the dog lures his master out of bed so he can take his place. Well, that happens around here, too. Here's another picture of her just after I got up one morning. She didn't waste much time taking my place.

One morning this week we couldn't find Ginger anywhere. We looked high and low, but she was nowhere to be found. We hadn't been outside, so we knew she had to be somewhere in the house, but all our searching failed to find her. Finally she poked her nose out from under the ottoman in our bedroom where she had been sleeping. Here's a picture.
