May Pet of the Month – Meet Ginger: Our Whippet Wonder of the Month!  🌟

Published May 15, 2024

This month, let’s give a warm round of applause for Ginger, our neighborhood’s very own Whippet wonder, whose elegance and energy light up our neighborhood streets. 

Ginger’s favorite toy is none other than a squeaky octopus, which accompanies her on many adventures, from sprints on the beach to leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. Speaking of the beach, it’s her absolute favorite place to unleash her speed and then indulge in her other favorite activities: napping and cuddling with her loving family.

When Ginger prances down our streets, watch for her ears joyfully flopping in the breeze, adding a touch of whimsy to her sophisticated stride. Despite her speedster capabilities, she sports a stylish jacket due to her felt-like coat, making her a cozy pup in any weather.

Happy trails, Ginger! Whether you’re zooming along the sands or snuggling up at home, your heartwarming presence and chic style never fail to brighten our days. 🐾💨
