Ginger is here – Part 1
Well the secret has been out for a while now and it only made sense that I let you all in on it too. Without much further ado, presenting to you , drums rolls….
✨GINGER , our lab doodle pup✨.
The newest kid on the block! Seriously my camera roll right now is filled with her pictures and shenanigans!!
Ginger at 2 months
This fluffy ball of joy with two buttons for eyes has been keeping us busy for a over a month!
Last week she completed her first month with us and can I say this? For a person who took a lot of convincing more like 3 years-of-convincing to get a pet home, I am enjoying having her home !!
I mean I still have my reservations but I don’t mind her presence at all!
OMG, those “Puppy Eyes” thing? Yes, it is true!! I mean how do they even do that?? *Melting heart emoji*
Mr. S loving every moment of it. He was born for it !
Hang on now, It wasn’t an easy decision to make, we went back and forth a lot before the *heart melting emoji* state.
The Backstory
S had a dog while growing up- a black doberman called Bruno, by the time I met Bruno, he was already on the last leg of his journey.
In india S never showed any interest in getting a dog, I mean we were too busy working and loving life to have any time to care for a pet !
It all changed once we moved to Seattle,a dog lovers city , he started missing Bruno. And soon enough he was sharing stories of Bruno with V.🤪
That is when ladies and gentlemen V actually started dreaming of having a dog for a pet !

The 6 year old V one day walked up to us and says “I can take care of dog , we should get one today “. Seriously 🙄 ?
Anyhow the idea wasn’t shot down immediately, and S (who secretly wanted one too!) made a pact with her – that when she turns a little older he would seriously think about getting one.

I just rolled my eyes Not in my house, no pet ever and moved on ! V of course didn’t forget about it, kept coming back with the same lines only to hear the S repeat himself again and again !
I have to give it to her, she never gave up, not once! (Can be quite annoying otherwise for a mom 😜 but for this story it worked in her favor 😃)
About Me
I never had a pet growing up unlike S and also I have a thing for a clean tidy home. I take comfort and pride in keeping the house spic-and-span!
I am highlighting clean because I can get a tad annoying once in a while !
The resting face.
It’s not a habit I picked up randomly one day. I have been like this since I can remember, those 10 years of working everything was always sorted .
Even when I was working-from-home with the toddler V in tow, I always had a clean and organized home.
Long story short , I didn’t want to deal with a pet who would be sprinting around shedding his/her hair everywhere!
The thought of hair everywhere itself gave me goosebumps. I didn’t want a pet! Period .
So what changed then? How did Ginger end up with us ? Well move on to the next Post to find out more !
This time here is a pet quote for you 😀
