My name is Ginger and I am the office morale officer. I will sometimes greet clients and be a therapy dog to the staff during the long hours of tax season.

I attended level one of obedience school and graduated at the top of my class. I am very good at sitting, rolling over, and laying down. I love belly rubs and Milk Bones and I dislike getting groomed and rectal thermometers (I had a bad experience with that.)

I hope to see you stop by the office this year. Please bring a Milk Bone; I am on a limited budget. My dog food is up to $1.00 per can. That is $7.00 in dog money.

Ciao,
Ginger
