meet ginger!

isn't she a beauty?
this pure-bred golden retriever was abandoned by her last owner (can you imagine??). she was rescued by a local shelter which is run by dern, the guy who we bought the truck from.... he practically begged us to take her -- it didn't take much convincing!
mike has wanted a dog just about his entire life, so we are hoping ginger is half as happy to be with us as we are to have her.
she's just over a year old, really mild-mannered, seems well-trained, and only barks when people approach our gate (which makes caryn feel secure :).

thanks for the welcome! we are totally spoiled, by the way -- ginger is such a good dog... her last owner must have trained her... i think we need to learn thai to tell her to do all her tricks, though.

Does she do any stupid tricks? You must teach her, Mike.

we don't know if she does any stupid tricks, but she is a really good dog & probably knows all kinds of stuff we'll never know about bc she only understands thai... i think we are the ones who are stupid & need to be trained.

Does the dog speak Thai or English? You may have to learn Thai more quickly now to communicate to your dog.
