Hi there Jo Ann
I am starting to run down with the showing, well a little bit, I think that Jas will retire soon, although she really loves showing, her eyesight just lets her down now. And thank you for the congratulations. Sad to hear that you lost your boy in February, how many does that leave you with?? I am hoping to gain a ''few'' more in 5 weeks, Saffy my other girl, is I hope, pregnant, will have her scanned tomorrow, so fingers crossed there. Big responsibility looking after someone else's cats..hope to hear from you soon Dee and the girls
Hi there Jo Ann
It is nice to think that your Jillian will have a friend soon..I find that people always stop and talk to me, when I have my two out on walks, the main thing that is said is, ''We had one of these when I was a child'' it seems that everyone has had an Irish Setter, I just hope that people will still want one, as Saffy, my youngest will be having puppies in 5 weeks, I hope...
It is so nice to have someone to walk with, you can't go out and walk by yourself.
Good luck with your new ''baby'' I hope all goes well for them and you, lots of pictures when you have them, we all love the pictures. All the best Dee and the girls
Hi Jo Ann. Just came across your page. A very warm welcome to our group. I'm sure you will love it here. Lots of lovely friendly people & beautiful photo's to look through. I am from Australia and have two Setter girls, one Irish & one English. Again welcome
Hi there Jo Ann
I only have a picture of me with a big (huge) black hairy cat, no dogs, wasn't aloud a dog, always wanted a horse though, eventually got that in my late 40s but the dogs when I was first married, and haven't had a gap of not having one since, although after having lost all my lines with the Irish I then went and bought an Akita, had them for nearly 20 years but came back to my beloved Irish just before I lost my last Akita, and have never looked back since, had a few problems over the past few years but wouldn't be without them, this litter that I am now going to get, I have been waiting for many years for it...Speak soon Dee and the girls
Hi Jo Ann!
Thank you for kind and comforting words about my old Viktor, and yes you are right, he is having a lovely time where he is now, without pain and sorrows. Nice to hear about your roots in Sweden, and if you some day have the possibilty so please visit, it is a lovely country I promise:-)
All the best//Kristina
Wow Jo Ann, thank you!!! Always dreamed to see the Golden Gate bridge...
Same for you, coming to Sweden, you can visit here. I live in the North area of Sweden so not close to Stockholm, but it is a very beautiful contry in this area. Coming in summer we have light all nights up here. If we go further up North, we can se the midnight sun who is shining all night:-))
I seemed to get all the animals in a short period of time, after I got married first the setter and then all the rest followed quiet shortly after, cats, horses, goats, cows, sheep and the list goes on. All I have left are my dogs. And I think that I will die with them...
All the best Dee and the girls
Hi there Jo Ann the babies are due August 1st. I have managed to get a few bits soughed out today, so there is a little progress on my part.
I am not going to be buried, my kids know that all the dogs and myself should all be scattered on the mountains... to run free and together for eternity. Hopefully not for a long time yet though...I have a lot to do, and am running out of time...so have to cram a lot into a short space..
Dee and the girls
Ah well that is cats for you, sometimes ghosts, there but not seen.....Saffy has now got the most horrendous diarrhoea, it is really hot and sticky here, Saffy doesn't like the heat. So off to the vet again I think that I am paying to put the vets children through school...
Good luck with the other animals, what has your neighbour got in her yard???? All the best Dee and the girls
Oh sounds like your home was in an Idyllic spot. but the million dollar homes must be better than a trailer park...it could have been worse....I am now on a housing estate, really hate it, I used to have nearly 16 acres and had sheep and cattle etc. I kept Dexter cattle and Texel sheep a couple of llama's a few ponies and dozens of hens and ducks (Muscovy) not all at the same time though....not enough land for that...
I have never stayed in the same place for more than 10 years at a time, itchy feet. if my dogs don't want me to be on the computer Saffy just sticks her foot on the key-board, I have a lap top...
Good luck with all your 'charges' Dee and the girls
We have been to the beach today, the last time before the puppies arrive, it is too far and too hot and humid, to go with a heavily pregnant bitch that far..
We have Cockerpoo's and Labradoodles and any thing else that can be crossed with a poodle, and charge a dreadful amount of money in the proses, they are going for over £1000 when you can get a pedigree dog for half that amount. Its ridiculous, Mine have been sprawled out on the floor because it is cool there. All the best speak soon Dee and the girls
Ah well I have to get the whelping box out of the garage, clean it off and put is somewhere safe, to let it air...I have got everything else ready now, I hope..
Have a very happy holiday..
All the best Dee and the girls
