Hi Keith, welcome to ES. I'm still quite new too but in the short time I've been a member I've met wonderful people and learnt so much about my setters, which I adore. I love your photos they remind me of mine, they love the British short hair cat I have which thinks it's a dog!! Welcome again:) Take care Dianne,Flame,Ruby&Poppy.
Hi Keith, i just read what you put about Cooper, passing aged 2 and how you bonded more because of the extra attention you gace him, i know exactually what you mean, last christmas i was told my 2year old boy Finlay had bone cancer in his leg and only had 6weeks left you can imagine my shock, well after x-rays and bone biopsys and other tests we decided as he seemed well not to amputate as vet said might only give him few more weeks, i'm pleased to say he's still with me and now all his fur and feathering has grown back he just looks like a normal healthy setter, but i keep my fingers crossed all the time he stays healthy.
Ellen, any chance that the cancer is in remission? Very sad but I am glad to hear that he is getting a little better. You can build up a very close bond with the little guys, especially when you are caring for them when they are sick.
