Just a phase.

Thankfully, the fearful-puppy thing was just a short lived phase.  Ginger seems to have overcome ALL fears of the concrete & the steps. 

They are back to sprinting loops around the house.  Up & across the couch, off the end into the dining room, through the kitchen, into the bedroom, up the steps onto the bed, 1 or 2 loops on the bed, down the steps, around to the other side of the bed & into the bathroom, through the other bathroom, back into the kitchen, under the dining room table, weaving in and out of the chair legs, around the back of the couch, around the end & back up on top....  All of this 2 or 3 times happens in a matter of seconds it seems.
