Meet Riskie, Miss January. Glenn and Rose Lore (formally Rose Riskie) have had chocolate labs since the 80s. The trio moved onto Sailmaker Loop in AP four years ago, and Riskie quickly embraced river life, loving the water… eating whatever has washed up on the riverbank… and watching the sunsets from her house, appropriately named ‘Bourbon-Worthy Sunsets’.
Her yard is her domain but she does like visiting the golden brothers across the street, who have an ongoing competition for the attention of the cute girl next door???
In true lab fashion, she’s a woman who knows what she wants… the perfect combo of sassy + sweet. If you do something that she doesn’t like, she’ll look at you with disapproval then slowly turn her head and give you the cold shoulder until you’ve learned your lesson. She wouldn’t even look at Rose for two days after they got back from a trip… I mean, how dare they not take her to Hawaii!

ONCE UPON A TIME → While living in Stone Harbor, NJ, we were checking out the flooded streets after a nor’easter. A newspaper reporter asked if he could take Riskie’s picture and “interview” her. Of course we answered all of the questions! Two days later, Glenn and I entered Fred’s Tavern (where we didn’t know anyone), and as we sat at the bar people began pointing to us saying, “There’s Riskie’s parents!” She was a star in her own right?
