Bald international treasure, Sir Patrick Stewart, and his wife Sunny Ozell became foster parents to a pit bull named Ginger last week. Since then, Sir Pat has been posting videos and pictures on Twitter and Instagram of his time with Ginger. And lately, his videos are the only things that can warm the icicles covering the frost-bitten pile of rotten ground meat I call a heart. Sir Patrick tags the ASPCA and uses the hashtag #AdoptDontShop every time he tweets about Ginger, so he’s really doing the lord’s work by promoting dog adoption. Although, try to tell that to Sir Ian McKellen who is probably sobbing in a corner alone over being replaced by Ginger the Pibble!
Sir Pat tweeted a video of himself trying to get Ginger to swim, but she was more interested in drinking pool water from his bald head.
The swimming lesson that wasn't. Our foster pibble Ginger is perfect afternoon company. @ASPCA @WagsandWalks #AdoptDontShop pic.twitter.com/yDWiXbCSXS

He’s tweeted other videos that lead me to believe that this is going to be a foster fail situation that will end with Sir Patrick Stewart adopting Ginger. But if that doesn’t happen and he tweets a video of sadness covering Ginger’s face as he sends her off to another family, my heart will freeze over again. It’d be my Emily Blunt in The Huntsman: Winter’s War moment.
