<p>If you're neurotic then so am I and a lot of other people using this site. Just ignore her. Alternatively suggest that maybe she needs the therapist or at least, someone to point out to her that leaving a dog, (a pack animal) alone frequently and for any length of time amounts to cruelty. One day her dog will be gone and she'll try and tell you that she misses it!! And yes, lots of people I know, probably including my grown up children, think my dog is too important to me.

<p>You could make a big joke of the situation and tell your sister in law that you heard you ought to see a therapist and say you thought it was hilarious and that it almost made you wet yourself laughing and then go into hysterics of laughter and that will give her even more to talk about.</p>

<p>Setters....just become such a part of our families that I find I enjoy time with my Molly more than time with ladies who just wish to lunch and "itch about other ladies....shop for things they really do not need and then crab some more about the people in their life. Molly's big complaint? it's the fact that her Mom works part time so is not always available to watch her hunt for hours on end in the yard. I hear no {"itching from her about others, no snide mean comments about strangers, no competition for who has the most expensive outfit on or the best house or car......Molly wants one thing from me......my love.....and she gives back more than she receives daily,</p>
<p> Sue I would not even dignify the comment with an answer....don't lower yourself to someone else's standards as that is what she is hoping will happen. Just know that there are lots of Irish, Red and White , English and Gordon Setter owners who know where the true love in life is and it is because we treasure them that our lovely furbabies love us so much.</p>

<p>Hi Sue and Cash</p>
<p>I am certain you feel a lot better now. I am proud to say I am a "nutta" too. I only have experience with the Setters with spots but I am certain the reds and black and tans are pretty much the same. Have you read the story about Cider the English Setter? Every time I read this story, I cry. Hope you are feeling better very soon.</p>

Hi Sue and Cash, this has happened to me very recently and it came from a very old friend so was quite hurtful at the time. I have had dogs all my life but setters only for the past 5yrs. I am living the dream as far as I'm concerned...I love my dogs and plan outings around them,I spend weeks trawling the internet for holiday homes that will take three and generally thinking of ways to make their days more interesting. I walked them every day until I couldn't and miss that "me and them" time…

I am living the dream as far as I'm concerned...I love my dogs and plan outings around them,I spend weeks trawling the internet for holiday homes that will take three and generally thinking of ways to make their days more interesting. I walked them every day until I couldn't and miss that "me and them" time very much. Interestingly my husband wasn't a big dog fan when we got our first setter.....just recently we were at an agility comp, someone asked if we would like two more as the Dogs Trust were there with two setters that needed rehoming...of course we went to look, they were beautiful and I was chatting to one of the girls...turned around and there was my husband, lying on the floor outside the cage "talking" to one of the setters!!!! Some people just don't "get it" but they don't know what they are missing!! I AM a therapist and i can assure you that having a pet of any kind provides the best therapy ever!!
