Our dog Ginny turns 6 today! And what a year she's had since turning 5...
1) That little human baby we brought home in January 2020 started rolling around soon after Ginny's 5th birthday - and then sitting, and crawling, and now walking!
2) Both my husband and I have been home nearly 24/7 throughout the last year, thanks to the pandemic - meaning verrrry limited crate time for Ginny, and leading to lots of "what is going on, what am I supposed to be doing now, why are you all home all the time?" whining.
3) She mysteriously fractured a toe in July 2020 (no idea how - she just started limping all of a sudden) and needed to wear a splint for a few weeks - and then a cone while her pressure sores from the splint healed.
4) And if all that wasn't enough... we moved houses on her too! Ginny loves her new, large fenced-in yard, and all the spots in the new house where sunlight streams through the windows, leaving sunny patches on the floor... but she also misses her old house, I'm sure. There were some kind neighbors who always stopped to say hello to her on walks (humans and fellow dogs alike), whom she hasn't seen since we left. And for several months there, her furniture kept slowly disappearing from the old house, everything kept changing, and she had no idea what was happening.
Poor Ginny's been through a lot lately - but she's hanging in there and doing her best!
To celebrate Ginny's birthday, here are some of my favorite pictures of her from the last year:
