I had no idea how close a bond with an animal can be until I got Ginger. I have to admit; I’m very protective of her and when someone treats her like an annoyance or “just a dog”. It really hurts my feelings, especially when it comes from my family.
I take her to our family functions (maybe 5 a year) and my older brother cannot stand her. He treats her like some filthy animal and it REALLY bothers me. It has pretty much ruined my relationship with him.
One thing I have learned though, is tolerance for others and their interests.
YT members are the best. I love you guys.
