Dear Heloise: My husband and I adopted Ginger (“Gigi”) from the Washington Animal Rescue League 11 years ago. She’s a longhaired Chihuahua mix, about 13 years old now. Her resiliency is an inspiration to me. She’s lived through at least three significant traumas, including my husband’s death. She’s brilliant, energetic, cuddly, well-behaved and friendly with other dogs and people.
