John B. Hughes/Absinthe's Comments

Hi John

Things should be starting to warm up over there. How did prophet go at his first show. Our new pup should arrive in the next week or so. There are photos of him on www.pendoric.com au which one is him I dont know yet but they all look phenomenal. First show should be in March 12 - 13 at Mackay. We have baby puppy classes  3-6 months.

Cheers for now Rick

Hi John

All well over there we hope. Have watched the Westminster videos . The old girl did herself proudly. She looked great in group as they all did.  Pup arrives in a week today so we are eagerly awaiting his arrival. Nothing much happening show wise for a while but things get busy up around Easter.

Cheers Rick 

Thanks John glad to accept. Your young boy is looking pretty good how is he going in the shows?

good luck with him John ,he appears to be cooperative in the photo

Hi John...thank you and am glad to accept on being your ES friend....have been following your wonderful dogs in pictures since I joined the site...and lovely scenic pictures are also enjoyed here.  Irish fan here  since 1973 (when I did not know how addictive the little devils are) so I am truly enjoying this site and all the wonderful setters on here.

thanks John for your comment , How is Prophet shaping up ,behaving himself?

Hi John

Going well but still a bit sore. All will be well in time and will be as good or better than before. Josh is going well and has had some nice wins as baby puppy. Hope to be back in the ring in a few weeks.

Hi John,

Hope things are going well over there across the pond. It's starting to cool down over here (freezing at Finch Hatton at the weekend where the Pioneer Valley Kennel Club and Show Society hold their shows). Youngin was Group 2nd on Saturday and BOB on Sunday. Josh had big weekend at Townsville on with a R/U in Group a Minor Puppy in Group and 2 Minor Puppy in Shows. Youngin stayed home to look after me that weekend. Had a look at your photos and page and your boy is developing well. Well I'll say cheers for now and wish you,your family,and Irish mates all the best.

Cheers Rick 

Hi John,

  I just wondered if you ever traced down anything on that black tongue spot?  Young man two blocks over from us has an IS with one and asked me about it today.  Told him it was normal for some lines and that I would try to find out if there was a USA line that is seems to come down thru...searching on here found out you also had questions about it.  Thank in advance and try to stay cool down there!

Hi there John I tired to find out what/who you were expecting...but nothing...see later what it was....hopefully...Yours Dee and the kids

Hi John,

  Just stopped by to see if the pitter patter of tiny paws had arrived at your home yet.  Hope all is going well for Tarah and will be watching for puppy pictures soon.
