Our present "family" consists of Ginger, Reno, and Indiana. Ginger is 10 and is our only survivor of the fire. She has been such a good girl. She never complained about being stuck outside in a pen just after the fire and then being in a cramped efficiency apartment for months and months. She would just look at us with her wise eyes as if to say she knew what was going on. She was none too happy when at Thanksgiving of 2002, we went to Indiana and visited Lost River Kennels and brought home a shy, timid English Pointer named Reno. Reno was only supposed to be in the apartment for a few weeks and it turned out to be 2 months! We used to plead with him not to bark and bargained with him that if he wouldn't bark, we'd let him bark however much he wanted when we got in the new house! He still reminds us of that promise! Reno was a joy and helped a lot with us moving past the Pointer we lost in the fire. He's very birdy and is a handsome lad. He's on the small side since he was the runt of his litter, but he makes up with it with his big heart. All of his energy was not appreciated by Ginger, so we decided we had to get him a playmate and friend. In July of 2003, Indiana came to live with us. We get lots of questions about she and Reno being in the same litter, but they are 1 year apart in age. Indiana is a spitfire and takes everything Reno dishes out. Reno has taken her under his wing and is presently teaching her all he knows about hunting and where to find the best places to lay on the couch and bed. We are blessed to have such a wonderful family! Ginger     Reno   Indiana     Our Family
