<p>Thank you Alan. This has been an exciting experience, the birth of these puppies. My first 2 left for their new home Sunday, I really miss them. The next 6 will be leaving the week of Dec. 5-9th.

<p>Their mother Scarlet has now stopped feeding them completely. I have been feeding them a mixture of chicken breast, rice, evaporated milk, water and vanilla yogurt (they don't like the plain yogurt) along with their Eukanuba dry puppy food. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have current pictures of all puppies on their own personal web pages (updated once a week). It still amazes me to look at their pictures to see how quickly they grow and change looks. Here is the link to my main puppy page, from there each baby has their own link to their page with pictures.</p>

Rose I remember going thru that up and down with medicines with my old Gentlemen Shilo and Pebbles...and knowing that someday I would be missing them so just loving them even more as they slowed down some but still shared wonderful walks and adventures with them as long as we could . I still treasure each of my beloved Irish Lads and Pebbles the Brittany Mix and the memories that each shared with us at different parts of my life. Sort of like my life story has a different dog....usually an Irish Lad in it for different parts of the adventure of life. How much alike they were in so many ways but how much fun to learn new tricks and quirks from each of them....they certainly enriched our life and home with all the antics ( some wild ones and some just so typical of IS that we could write the book before they pulled the antic). Took us a while to find our Miss Molly but being our first Irish Lass and our first rescued Irish has been an adventure for us all.......and so far a wonderful one. Molly certainly has some quirks that belong just to her...habits or behaviors we never saw any of our Irish Lads do so we put it down to her being female. Fun for us to watch her go thru her rituals and routines of how she likes things....our lads never cared that things be just so but she does. Time does not stop us from missing our wonderful Irish Gentlemen but it does help us learn to treasure all the wonderful adventures we shared with them and the love we were given in abundance from them.....the sick times seem to fade as the memories of them runninng free with their favorite toy (or borrowed item) just out of my reach make me smile....they always knew how to get me to play with them even when I was busy ...the mud bath Shilo gave me, the broken windshield from our Shannon....and so the list goes on and on but sometimes just to sit and think of all my lads just makes my heart smile inside as I truly believe we carry them with us each day as they are a part of who we became and that someday I'll be mobbed at the Rainbow Bridge as I have some very special friends waiting for me there. Treasure those special memories of your wonderful Buster and enjoy making new ones with Scarlett and her new puppies.

<p>Oh Sherry, our Buster has left a big big hole in our hearts here. He did go peacefully in his sleep. He just went to sleep and didn't awaken again. He kept up with his daily routine right up until the last 2 days, then he didn't want to follow us around the stable or go for a ride in the car. He was tired, food wasn't what we wanted anymore either. We raise our own beef here, and the last 2 years we cooked most of his food for him - beef and rice were his favorites over a little dry dog food. He was never more than a family pet, he loved this ranch and our property in North Bend. He was a good watch dog too, yet he never ever did bite anyone! I think people were cautious around him because of his big size.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He was on thyroid meds the last 6 years of his life, then 2 years ago on meds for his arthritis. He only was sick once in his life, 4 years ago he had an eye infection which didn't respond well to antibiotics. Our Vet actually took him to the local human hospital at that time for a CAT scan to rule out cancer, etc. he was okay, just needed a better antibiotic. I asked the Vet if he took Buster into the hospital through the back door, he said no, he took him in through the front door! I wonder what people thought seeing this giant of a dog going into the hospital for a CAT scan. </p> Hi Sherry,

<p>Hi Sherry,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I might have to keep just one puppy, which one I am not sure of yet. I don't think we will ever go through having a litter of puppies again. Scarlet is a wonderful mother, I was a little worried the first few minutes when she wasn't sure what was really happening. Her maternal instinct took over and she fell in love within 2 minutes.

<p>Hi Sherry,</p>

<p>I might have to keep just one puppy, which one I am not sure of yet. I don't think we will ever go through having a litter of puppies again. Scarlet is a wonderful mother, I was a little worried the first few minutes when she wasn't sure what was really happening. Her maternal instinct took over and she fell in love within 2 minutes. I was relieved - once we had a foal born and his mother rejected him - I raised him on a bottle. He did just fine, but it was very sad to see foal rejection. The mother had a difficult labor, I believe that is why she rejected him. When a horse has their water break, they must deliver fast - or the foal and mare will die. That foal will be born no matter how much damage is done to the mare - or the foal will die, often both will not make it. 99.9 percent of all foalings go well. But when they get into trouble - they do this fast and if you aren't there right away it is a disaster. A mares contractions are so strong that when trying to reposition a foal, a contraction can actually fracture your arm. </p> I too will cry when our babie…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2011-11-06:865021:Comment:8384092011-11-06T02:51:18.254ZRose Muffetthttp://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/RoseMuffett
I too will cry when our babies leave us. I decided to let our Vet help screen homes for us - check references, etc. We have always done this with our horses, they are very special pets too. To this day I know where each one is and I receive updates on what they accomplish.

<p>The little puppies are such a joy... it will be hard to say goodbye to them. 2 are going to a good friend, she lives quite a distance from us, but I am sure I will get many pictures and updates. I was amazed at how easy Scarlet seemed to deliver her babies. She wasn't sure what was going on with her first one, she had him standing up.

<p>Rose I forgot to tell you how sorry I am for you loss of your Big Red Buster. I know all too well how wonderful our Old Irish Gentlemen can be and how they leave such a hole in our lives. These little ones will help to heal the hurt but never replace the wonderful times you shared with your Buster. </p>
