3-3-2012 Ginger  my female finnish spitz mix dog was really sad again after she saw that her close friend Jasper Johns my male tabby cat was in his cat carrier cage.  She gets a look in her eyes that is very upset and concerned when she sees that I am leaving and that the cat is not staying either.  My dad saw that she tried to unlock the latch on the cat carrier door with her paw in hopes to let the cat out and to stay with her and play and hang out together some more.  I missed her trying to set him free by her hopes of opening up the latch on the cage because I was packing up the car with all my stuff I have to take back home to Long Beach from Encinitas.  
When first I got in on Thursday to Encinitas Jasper got jealous of the attention Ginger was getting from me and bit her in the back while she was laying on my bed, Ginger did not beat him up or retaliate back, she looked like oh my god whats going on and she was whapping her tail real fast about the aggressive encounter.  Luckily she is sweet natured because if she wanted to as the alpha she could kill him if she tried.  She would not do that, and they play fight and wrestle each other all the time, but if it became a real actual fight she would win.  Ginger likes anything that shows her love and attention my other dog Laddie the shetland sheep dog and Bear an American Eskimo with maybe a little Pomeranian in him do not pay much attention to my cat, or really know what to do or how to hang with a cat.
