Michelle Walsh's Comments

Hi Michelle!

I'm really glad that both boys are doing fine and that Legolas is jumping around as a pup - he certainly deserves it!

The Girls are doing fine, just readjusting to our very very hot summer, so we are still adapting to the new walking schedule.

how wonderful that you decided to add a little red to your family, I'm sure you are all very pleased with the new arrival. Best of luck with your new setter - I'll be looking forward to see some pictures of the lovely baby!

Hi there Michelle

Thanks for the lovely comment on Yvonne's blog...I was so thrilled with my boy...me I could hardly walk all that running...my god that dog can't half move...with me trotting along behind....

Thanks again Dee and the gang

Hi Michelle hows my favourite boy keeping when do you get your new redhead

bet you can't wait i know i was counting the days

Hi Michelle - thanks for your lovely message. The adoption hasn't worked out but we're not in a hurry. The right dog will come along one day - probably unexpectedly just like Errol did.   :)  I haven't been on ES for a while - been really busy at work - so have lots to catch up on. Btw. I'm reading Tolkin's The Hobbit - it always reminds me of your boys. Have a good w/e.  KC

uhoh...looks like I missed a few things here...a red head coming to own you?  I was gone a few weeks and then working two stores so not here a lot.  What exciting news that is.  I am going to be looking forward to puppy pictures and stories galore with all the new puppies on ES. 

  Molly would love to go hunting with Theoden....she also is quite the hunter and always fun to watch her passion for it.  Hope all goes well with the new puppy arriving .

hmph! I must have been out of town ...what have you named your new little one?  I am imagining a great name as all your other lads have such awesome names.  Is the new little one keeping you running after him?  I hope soon the older lads will take him under their wings oops paws and do the bulk of teaching him the house rules!  Have fun and enjoy that puppy as they grow up all too fast!   Just saw that your new Red head is Rohan....like the name as we were trying to adopt an Irish Lad of that name when Miss Molly fell into our world.  and Molly would especially love to hunt where she had room to run, run , run....but still see her Mom!  she worries if she gets too far from us but loves to hunt and run.  Her latest is the neighbors downspout....chipmunk runs in there so she has her nose in it all the time lately....waiting for that chipmunk to nip her on the nose but so far she just outwaits Molly which is quite a bit of time she can not leave that downspout...I do call Molly off though as truth be told I do not wish for her to have contact with Chippie! I sort of made the chipmunks and rabbits and squirrels my pets that year we did not have an Irish in our lives. 

Hi  Michelle Rohan is absulutely beautiful he will win many cups

what is is pedigree. Shannon and sophie are doing well sophie is growing like a leek mind you they have goods days and bad days but they are still together. Hows my best boy Legolas doing still haveing bad hair days .

big hug to all Martina and girls 

So far Molly has only caught two sparrows.....one was the oddest thing I have ever seen....we d taken a walk and were walking in the front door and she just jumped up and stuck her head in the bush and came out with a bird.....she immediately dropped it but sure surprised me.  Two years in a row we have had a nest of cardinals in the rose bush right by our patio....we just told her to leave them alone and so far she has.....when the babies are on the ground learning to fly we do take her out in front instead but that has been the only change we have had to make with her. Amazed us all that she did not go after them but would sit and watch the mother go in and out feeding them.  Now the turtle hunt was another story...I was sure it must be a huge snake that had her jumping back and barking at it....in and out of her wilderness cave she kept going....finally I got brave enough....to go see only to find a common box turtle playing her big time....she would sneak up and the turtle would stick it's head out and back she would go.....we finally relocated the turtle to a wooded lot by us so she could lay her eggs in peace and quiet.  Funny how something so small could scare her....I think it was the fact that everytime she sneaks up on something it always runs away fast and the turtle just ducked inside!!  Silly girl.

   My Shilo was bench stock.....but not shown by us....just loved and spoiled rotten.  He ruled the roost here except when Pebbles was vacationing with us....then it was Pebbles the boss.  I did find that with my boys that they were never assertive at home or away.  Just more interested in having a good romp and play session .  Pebbles would walk up to Shilo and take bones etc away from him ....and then go lie down on top of them....and Shilo just did not care.  My Dad would wait for Shilo to put Pebbles in his place but it never did happen.  Nature of Irish Setters I think is not to fight but to be lovers!
