Nomination:
I would like to nominate Ginger for the Region 5 MVP. Ginger came into Teresa's life as an owner surrender at 7 months old. She was a shy and quiet red and white border collie.

She was slow to embrace flyball. If a loud sound or a yell was heard she would shut down as if she did something wrong. As Ginger's confidence improved so did her speed. She has grown from a fearful, submissive girl to a bossy queen keeping her teammates in line. She is able to run for anyone and in any position.

Ginger will be turning 12 in November of this year and is the fifth dog in our region to earn 50,000 points. Her speed has remained constant, even with age. It truly has been a regional accomplishment that Ginger has earned her 50,000 points as there have been several members from other teams in our region that have run her to help earn these points.

Even at 12 years old, she still wants to go out and run her heart out. Her other hobbies include patrolling for squirrels in the yard and being the play police! She is very good at both.
