<p>Funniest thing happened this week. My old cocker was bitten and needed special care for the week, so i swichted: left the red girls with my parents and ginja came with me for the week.</p>
<p>Today I came home to my very concerned parents. Pitanga and Romã refused their food all week long... unless they added baby cereals to their food =)</p>
<p>I tried to explain them theyr were being played, but they were not convinced, so I gave them their food in the evening: plain old dry food as usual.…</p>

You should have seen the look on my mother's face as they were eating. She just said "Bastards!" and walked away! </p>

<p>Some might say we are the crazy ones as it is our choice to fall in love with an Irish Setter....if you do it right you can't seem to live without one in the future. The year and a half without one here was the dullest and most boring year of our marriage as our home just felt so empty. Molly was at the end of that year and a half so perhaps I am just a wee bit more appreciative of having her running our home? or perhaps she is also just as awesome as we think she is?

<p>Some might say we are the crazy ones as it is our choice to fall in love with an Irish Setter....if you do it right you can't seem to live without one in the future. The year and a half without one here was the dullest and most boring year of our marriage as our home just felt so empty. Molly was at the end of that year and a half so perhaps I am just a wee bit more appreciative of having her running our home? or perhaps she is also just as awesome as we think she is? I may never know the answer to that question but I don't really care as long as we have Molly to keep us on our toes and laughing everyday. Our daughter packed a suitcase today for a weekend trip ...she was not gone 10 minutes when Molly came trotting in with a pair of her socks (she will carry them around until Angie is back home ).....she keeps track of each one of us so we all know we are a special part of her world....devotion like that is just too darn hard to find so it makes the gift of it even more special. I do think that our Irish know just how to respond to each of us as they seem to be intune with moods and needs around them....they can turn on the charm, the funny antics or the sweet cuddley<em> Irish to fix what needs fixing as needed....how can we help not falling for them? </em></p> Sherry lovely stories such fu…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2011-12-02:865021:Comment:8557472011-12-02T20:09:14.190ZLois McCulloughhttp://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/LoisMcCullough

<p>First, you must understand that the Sun is Red. Once you accept that, you can just give up the rest of your life and know that your life wouldn't be as complete without them anyway.</p>

<p>you are getting off easy there Fran!! Molly here demands an audience for her garden romps........and that means sitting on the patio no matter the weather in her book. Now mind you I do not sit out in rain or snow or cold weather but she has convinced the man who adores her that coffee on the patio in freezing wet weather is the way to go! :) I just shut the door behind them and enjoy my coffee watching from the breakfast room all snug and warm.</p>

Love this story Tracy and Hamilton could never leave Andrew's feet alone he wasn't interested in mine. However Andrew was recently diagnosed with a fungal infection under his toenails and has been trated for same with creams bacterial washes etc etc The rest of the story is Hamilton won't go anywhere near his feet, so did Hamilton cause it or simply diagnose it?
