I really miss my Rottweiler named Ginger. Sadly, on the third of July 2008 we had to have her euthanized. She had hip dysplasia and we thought her right ear had a tumor. At first we were going to take her to the veterinarian's but when we got home from church that Wednesday evening dad and mom decided to have her euthanized the next day. My brothers and I knew the day would come that she would have to be put down. My family was heartbroken. When Ginger was with us we would hear the click of her claws on the floor or the jingling of her collar. We kept listening but it wasn't there. The next week we started looking online for a dog at animal shelters. We finally found a dog we really liked. So we drove 3 hours to an animal rescue in Pottsville. When we got there I was excited to see Remy, the Pitbull Terrier we had picked out she had tan fur with a white belly,and white socks and a little white patch on her neck. I was very happy that we were going to get a new dog. Remy was small compared to Ginger. When we met her she was shy and excited at the same time. We visited with her for a while. Then we went upstairs to see how she was with other dogs. Glen, the man that had been taking care of Remy, took her outside and put her in a pen with a whole bunch of other dogs and let her run around with them. She got along very well and played with them. When it was time to go Glen said goodbye he was very sad and happy that she was going to a new home. When we got ginger she was shy. We were nervous and so was Remy. But our love would overcome that. In the van we offered her a treat but she refused it. After that we took her to my pap's house to see how she was with his Pitbull Akita, Vinnie. We had them together outside but they didn't seem to get
along very well. When we got home we let her sniff around in the rooms. As the days passed she got more and more used to us and we were very happy and excited. Now she has a loving home and we have Remy a loving dog.
