Ginger is a 7-year-old Boston Terrier that has had a terrible life. Ginger was found tied to bag near a dumpster ready to be picked up along with the other trash. Ginger, being blind, was left to fend for his own. How long Ginger was tied to the trash bag and how many nights he did not eat is unknown to the rescue and myself but what I do know is the bad condition Ginger came into my life!
In September 2009, I adopted Ginger and took on the task of nursing him back to health. I knew I had my work cut out when I adopted him but just a simple look in his eyes, I knew he needed me. As a proud pet mother, nothing brings me more joy than to say Ginger is in perfect health. Ginger acts like a puppy now. He plays with his toys, loves to chew on his bone, enjoys playing with other dogs and he even barks now. When I come home from school or work, I cannot help but look forward to seeing Ginger and where he has chosen to hide. Its like we play a game, “Where’s Ginger?” He has hidden under my bed sheets, underneath the pillows of my couch, and even under a pile of laundry in my basket. He never fails to make me laugh and even though Ginger is blind, Ginger is able to memorize his way around. Ginger even knows how to walk up the stairs to my apartment and knows what door he needs to sit by in order for me to open the door. Ginger has proved to me countless times, that being blind does not hold him back. I sometimes, (laughing), even forget he is blind.
While Ginger was someone’s trash, to me Ginger became my little treasure and my forever loving friend!! |
