Amazing achievements, well done Louis and Eva for picking you, fancy calling you a duck!
I am so glad to hear Willow is through the operation and hoping for a restful painfree recovery. With your love I am sure things will go well. I can just feel your pain through your words and I just hope she rests well tonight without discomfort.

No wonder they grow great coats

Dear Angela, I have been following your story on Willow. I am sure she will be fine. In 1979 my first setter was hit by a car. I did not think he would survive the operation and strict rest and the carring him out for toilet etc etc. Miraculously he…
The specialist assessed Willow this morning and operated this afternoon. There was a piece of bone floating which was near the sciatic nerve which would cause extreme pain and when he opened her up he found the pelvis was unstable which would be ano…

- About Me:
- I live in the County of Cornwall, United Kingdom with my husband Ian and family of Irish Setters. They are firstly our pets and all live in and have access to the whole of the house. Our family had our first Irish Setter in 1976 and since then I have had great fun and enjoyed some success with the dogs I have shown and of course meeting lots of new friends over the years. The picture shows the foundation bitch of the Polmennor's, Lynwood Castaspell Over Polmennor, she was my very special 'Magic'

- Angela, thank you so much for your kind words about Ivy.
I did check out your website and the pictures of your horses that lived such long and happy lives.
Loved the story about Valstar...:-)
I have had to put many dogs and cats down over the years, and although it is hard loosing any animal, somehow this was so much more.
Perhaps becourse horses are such big and powerful animals and seem so strong in every way.
She was a super horse and is missed by us all.

No my bitch that I think you are refering to was Loshian Lady May who did go back to Sowerhill lines via her mum. We lost her in 2007 at 12 with complications connected to Cushings.

Dee Rance said… - Thanks for the comment on the babies, tell you what though Findlay is more trouble than all his brothers and sisters put together. And how he is growing, nearly the same size as his mother, although I don't think he is going to be the biggest. I don't think that my boy is the pick of the litter, I think that Tania's boy Fergal is the best one, and Aleks has the pick of the girls. she is really pretty, she will be over here in the UK again in about June/July time. I think that is when she is supposed to be back. And the ''elegant'' one is Newton he is now in Poland...
I just love your ''old girl'' my she looks good for her age, Jas is nearly white in the face, and now that she is more or less retired, she is fat and woolly. Speak soon Dee and the gang

- I think that you are rite, it is all a matter of ''worry'' I had my first litter back in the early 70's and then a couple in the early to mid 80's and then nothing since then, so it is like the first all over again, but with extras. perhaps it is when you get older you seem to worry more about your wee ''charges'' and I haven't had stairs for many years, (I would love a quid for every time I have been up and down them,) I have only lost 1/2 stone so far, but that has been quite a revelation, haven't been this weight since, (well it doesn't bare thinking about)
I hope all went well with your litter as far as CLAD is concerned, Saffy is the first one to be tested before mating for the new eye thing, she isn't affected by it, but until we get a DNA test for it then she could still be carrying the gene for it, its a big gamble, ah well its all a gamble, but an educated one is always better, than nothing. All the best Dee and the gang

- Hi there Angela
I am finding difficulty in keeping anything up at the moment, I have lost about half a stone over the past couple of weeks. I suppose that I am lucky I don't use skirts. much to my granddaughters disgust, she thinks that I should where more ladylike clothes, and the critique came from a three and a half year old. perhaps she is rite, I am not very ladylike...Ah well to old to change now...Dee and the gang

- Hello Angela! And thank you for your comment on Ivy and her foal. But that is the one and only show the foal will go to...and the only one allowed. You get one shot at it, and that is it!
So if you did not like the result...hard luck!
But they do have two judges working together so I suppose its slightly more fair than a dogshow.

- Yes I think that you may be rite, funny thing is she didn't want to know about ''that kind of thing'' just goes to show how easy a girl can get into trouble..;o))

Barbara said… - Thanks for your comment - it was hard work to cram in the training and showing. We ended up doing the course in 5 weeks - so I really chuffed to pieces that we have been really successful. Both boys have their Gold Cups in the best position on the sideboard.
Catch you again soon
