Rhona, Bruce n Lil Lucy Skene x's Comments

To answer your questions, My older foster girls are Chance and Chase and my kids are Katie(the girl with the gorgeous hair-she's my favorite) and her brother Thornton.

Thank you very much Rona!

I like this site a lot too!
Your Dogs are so lovely,

Greetings from Sweden!

Rhona,
Are there many public places where you can let your dogs run? I'm curious because here in the US there aren't. I have to go to friends that have several acres to do that.

Hi Rhona, Thankyou for your comments on my girls, and yes, I am very proud of them both. We got them as baby puppies together and they are now almost 7. Tess does have lovely long ears, as do most of the Irish from her particular breeding. They do get her into a bit of trouble though. Can't eat without a snood on otherwise her food is in her ears, gets bits of bush & whatever tangled when she goes free running. She is a good girl though and doesn't mind me brushing them out, and yes, I agree, they are lovely. She is a very quiet Irish and my English Megg is too. Both are a delight to live with.
Your Setters look lovely also.

Thank you very much Rhona, for your wellcoming words.
The love of my life is a 6 yesr old irish setter that has proven to be a sweet, bright, happy and dear companion. I expect to find here people that realise how this breed is objectively so very special.

How lucky you are tohave had a puppy for a present.
I am looking for a female irish setter to make company to mine Flicker.

Hi Rhona
There are not all our setters. The pictures where from the 1th birthdayparty of our A-Litter. We have at the moment 4 setters, Emelyann, Gwyneth, Aingheal and new from our actualy B-Litter Britget.

Hey there, it just dawned on me where you are from. Do you have any pics of your country? I SO want to go there. I went to England a couple years ago and want to go up to Edinburgh, but didn't have time. Where is Galashiels?

Katie and Thornton are fine. It got very woarm for the last couple days so they got to run around outside alot. I think my old girls and going to get adopted permanently so they will be leaving in about a week. I have 3 acres that they get to run on. Do you guys in Scotland tell size in "acres" or something else?

ok, I went on the internet and figured out how much an acre is. My 3 acres is .01 square kilometers. Does that help? Let me know if it doesn't and I'll try seomething else. Do they teach you any US units of measurement in school, or just metric? I'm a math teacher, that's why I ask.

Thank you Rhona,Bruce and Lucy!
Nice background.

Hello Rhona,

Rhona, how's everything? How are your kids?

Rhona, you're a funny girl! When I said your "kids", I meant your dogs! I call my dogs my kids all the time. So, actually, you DO have kids. You just didn't know it.

I SO wish I could come to Scotland. This past week it was so warm that you had to wear a t-shirt. Then yesterday it was so cold that you had to wear 3 layers and a parka to stay warm. Sometimes it's like that in Oklahoma. My kids are fine, but my foster girls are about to be adopted and will leave me. One of them has become paralyzed in the rear legs and can only drag herself around. It's very sad to see. Hopefully her new parent can do more for her since she is a vet. When you get a chance tell me more about Scotland. I love to hear about the weather and other parts of life there.

Hi Rhona,
the little "setter" is my "grandson" Joey Cocker, he is owned by my elder son.;0) You have also very nice setters!!! This little red/white girl looks very beautiful and promising to many success! Rodins (GS) breeder Rosanne, living in New Mexico, ownes also an red&white girls named Nellie, you can see her on Rosannes HP www.amberlovesetters.com.
Rodin is now nearly 20 month young and Austrian Junior Champion, but also, because he is a very funny, friendly, lovely and honest boy, I am very proud with him, I love him endless! The Big Old Red is my 12y.8m. old Irish Setter male Axel, which I love also very, very much, because he is the honest and friendliest dog, I ever had. I like it very much, to walk with them, also in the city, than in the green wide areas around Vienna. To go with them by bycicle or inliners, or only walking and running.

I wish you a very nice day and would be enjoyed, to read more from you!

Gini, Rodin, Axel (and Joey)

You'r right, but aren't we all setter owners proud of our rascals! We also have had a Red Irish Setter, but our old lady "Melina" passed by 31.12.2008 in age of 15 and half.

Hi!
Thank you. Yes, I'm very pleased with my girls. :) They both are sweet and lovely, in my opinion. ;)

Chase and Chance's new forever mom came and got them Sunday night. I think they will be in good hands. She is a vet. Now for your question. Six hours is not too long. When you think about it, these are hunting dogs and on a hunt they would be out there all day long! They'll love it. Mine would stay out all day if I'd let them. On the weekends, I try to stay out with them most of the day when I can. I'm so jealous that you're able to take them out that long all the time. Aren't you in school all day? Anyway, that's great for them and it also cuts down on problems when they're in the house. Know what I mean?
