Ginger the GeoDog died in the back seat of our car as we drove north to our cottage Friday evening. She was a little over 13 years old, and had been slowing down considerably recently. But it still came as a great shock. We’ve had her since she was 6 weeks old.

She did her last cache with us just a week ago, and probably was in on about 100 of our cache finds.

It’s a sad weekend in our household. It is amazing how an animal can become a loved member of a family. We are very thankful for the happiness that Ginger brought into our lives, and will miss her a lot.

Thoughts and prayers will be appreciated. Thanks.

Grandma and Grandpa,
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I know we think of our pets as family. It is always so hard to get through the loss. Bob and I had to have our first dog put to sleep at age 12 and it was very hard. We loved him like a kid. He was our kid. My heart goes out to you at this time.

No matter what anyone says, our pets ARE a big part of our families. They give us unconditional love, depend on us, and support us. I’m sorry for your loss.

My thoughts are with you. Remember you are never alone and Ginger will still be with you while you are caching. She is still a part of your hearts being carried with you at all times.

G&G, you have our deepest condolonces. Part of the Sean Connery team is Alex the geodog. We do not cache without her. She is a 10 year old Brittany. As others have said, our pets are our family. We are so sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathies to you. I lost my geo-dog (my namesake and dearest friend) a few weeks ago myself, so I understand how you’re feeling.

We would like to add our sympathy for your loss. So very sorry.

The death of a pet like any other friend or family member brings grief in proportion to the love you have for this precious part of your life. We are only able to endure this pain with the comfort we get from our memories of this loved one and the condolences of our friends. Our sincere wish is that your memories and our words bring you peace. T&tb

Sorry to hear about that.

Geodogs are a huge part of the geocaching family. (Sammy the Wonderdog is a big part of Team Puck Stop.) The toughtest thing about owning a dog is knowing that their life span is so much shorter than ours. But the joy and companionship they bring is unmatched. A wise person once said

“Acquiring a dog may be the only opportunity a human ever has to choose a relative.”

I’m sorry to hear about your lost! its tought losing a loving pet.
I remember when i went to my very first event i meet both of you and Ginger, and it was because of your dog that i actually got the courage to talk to you well actually anyone.. Geodogs and actually any pet is a good ice breaker, it was a fun day cuz i got to go caching with you guys and share a backseat with your pet!
I thought you might like to hear this story and know that Ginger is missed by everyone!
Again i’m sorry about your loss, i understand how it is too lose a loving pet, My Family and i had just recently had to put down our family dog of 17 years..
