Ginger

My tubby little rat terrier. We are controlling how much she eats now, and I'm taking her on walks to try and slim her down. She's a neurotic mess and will eat until she's full, then eat more - to the point of being physically ill.

I got Ginger when she was about six months old. The lady that had here before us got her when she was only five weeks old. Apparently she didn't understand how much time and effort a puppy takes because all she could tell me about was everything terrible that Ginger had done. I don't know that she ever did anything in the way of training her. We've worked with Ginger quite a bit over the years, but she's still kind of a mess. But she's our mess.

Her nicknames are Ginger-snaps, Gingavitis, Fatso, Stinky (her gaseous odors are phenomenal!), and Cheese Dog. She is well-loved, along with her partner in crime, our Jack Russell terrier, Chopper. I'll post a pic of him later.
