About Me


My very own Big Red Nose picture. Thanks Gucci!
I'm a Shetland Sheepdog (aka "Sheltie"). I'm a California gurl, born in Palo Alto, CA, but raised in San Jose, CA. I just turned 3 yrs old on March 1, 2007.
Oh! and for those of you who may not be sure of my gender -I'm a GIRL! I am a GIRL GIRL GIRL! Fur some reason, some people mistake me fur a boy (??WHY??) and believe it or not, this mistake happens even when they hear my name is "Ginger"!! And I thought "Ginger" was universally a Girls name!? *shrug*
My most favorite thing? Always being mistaken for "Lassie".
My tricks? I know sit, paw, down, more down, over, speak, up, under, wiggle, and I know the difference between the rope, ball, and sock. :) Just tell me which one you want, and I'll get it! And if you have a treat in your hand, I'll get it to you in a nano-second!!
My most disliked thing(s)? vaccuums, hairdryers, motorcycles, blenders, and all other devices that make noise. These "crazy" things with motors make me NUTS! and I don't mean peanuts... GRRRRR.. Oh and DOORBELLS, bicyclists, and skateboarders... I have slight issues with these small wonders as well. (SIGH!)
