My new book. "Riley's Rhymes"
Posted on November 22, 2015 at 6:26pm 3 Comments 0 Favorites
I have just published my second book of silly poems.
The book is called "Riley's Rhymes" and I believe it is far better than my first one that was called "Irish Setter Poems".
It has 60 poems in it and most of them are doggy related, with a few that have nothing to do…

I have just written my very first book of silly poem things.
Most of them are obviously about dogs, but some are about friends that are setter lovers.
The printers suggested that it should be sold for £7.19 (GBP) but I think that is too much, so I am selling it for £5.99 (GBP) plus postage. I am not looking to make a huge profit from them.
I have…

This video was put together by our own Kenny Jarvis.
What a great job he has done.
What treats do other Setters get at this time of year?

I am interested to know what treats other Setters get at this time of year or any other times of the year.
I am not talking about the ones given to them. I am talking about the ones stolen by them.
I was upstairs today and Riley was making so much noise. I went to check and found him playing with a plastic watering can. The back door was open and he was charging in and out with it and banging it on the walls.
Cassie was not involved as she was with me.
A while later I went…

Hi Andy! Have you tried the D.A.P. Spray because of the car sickness? It was the only thing that helped my girl. All the best. Barbara

Hi Barbara. Yes we have, but so far has made no difference to him. My wife has some rescue remedy and that seems to help. I feel quite sure he will grow out of it very soon. As soon as he is allowed out, he will be taking short walks in the park or the woods and long ones when he is older. He may then connect the car with something good. Fingers crossed.
Kindest regards
Andy (and Riley)

- Hi Andy, and welcome. Hope my little quip following your comment didn't offend you in any way. Just me trying to inject a little humour into a very serious debate! Sincere regards, James & Romeo.

Riley Benstead has been out in the car today. We only went about ten miles but he was not sick. He started to dribble as we arrived at a horse sanctuary. He started to enjoy it, but then came the rain.
He got wet going back to the car and my wife had a towell to dry him. He met other dogs and some horses. He also met a lot of people that gave him lots of fuss. We came home and he just started to dribble as we arrived.
I am sure he will not have much trouble with cars in the future. Fingers crossed.
Andy
