More about Jennifer Sigling

Ginger and I are a therapy dog team. We visit hospitals and children's homes in our community. We also did the Summer Reading program at our local library this summer. Ginger learned to swim this summer and saw the beach for the first time. Although she loved the beach, she is not to keen on the water.
