For those interested in pedigree, he is Avon Farms Kingston Rule x Garden Star Irish Union. This is him pictured at 18 1/2 weeks with me in our back garden. He now follows on in the paw prints of our beloved Romeo…

Yesterday my beloved Tiny celebrated her 11th Birthday.

Our darling Joy is eight years old today! This photo is by my husband, made in our studio on the new dog sofa:

Sadly, Joy did not start very well today. First, she vomited and then she had an epileptic seizure - the first since October 2011 :-(. I will call the vet later and have her therapeutic level of phenobarbital retested this week. It was always at the lowest end…

It is now 4 weeks since Victor , the Irish Setter, vanished from his owners in Beaminster, Dorset. Someone out there must know what happened to him.

If you know where he is and can get him back to either his owners or us please pm me and I will arrange a contact in complete confidence.

There is no way a dog of Victor's size can just disappear without trace. He may have been stolen, he may have…

Unbelievably, Hobson was still fighting and did not want to let go. The Hemangiosarcoma cancer had spread to his chest. The fluid was building…

Time marches on and the cycle of life completes with another loved one.

Miles, you blessed my life in so many different ways. You were a fantastic companion.

You are greatly missed already. It won't be the same without you.

When you get to 'the bridge', find your cousin Cedric and have him introduce you to your extended brothers and sisters. Tell everyone I love them.
