I loved all your pictures, especially the wild life ones...you are so lucky to be near and around such wonderful wildlife...I first went for an English setter but couldn't find one at the time but have had Irish (mostly) for 40 years now, if I was going to get an English now, it would definitely be and 'orange' just love them, hope to speak soon.

Ah well we get what we are destined to have. you English and me Irish....unlike what we first decided to get...I for one am very happy with the dogs that chose me...I suspect you are likewise contented with the dogs that chose you....

All the best Dee and the gang

Sam looks as though she is there to stay, I used to have a Jackdaw that would come and tap on the window each morning. But unfortunately I was the one that had to move on....I personally am ''into'' birds, so I would love to see the site of the two of them flying over..

You are lucky to be living somewhere that all this can happen,. I used to be in the country but ill health meant that I have to live in what is called civilization....

Hi Susan

Thanks for sharing your journey with Hobson's health issue.  He looks lovely now.  It must have been so horrible to go through the episode and then not have them treated appropriately and their long recovery...  and all the worry, etc, etc.

 

I hope you get the outcome you can be happy with, but I think it will be a hard fight against these boards.

 

I see Hobson is wearing something on his feet?  Do you put them on them all the time inside or just when he was not well?

 

Hope you are having a great weekend.

cheers

Cheryl

Hi Susan,

Thanks for your warm words on Mitch. I have just posted his biopsy results on the discussion, which were thankfully quite positive.

Just visited your website and am deeply saddened to read what happened to Beau. I can't begin to imagine what you have been through and pray that you and Beau will be reunited one day soon.

Best wishes

Tony & Mitch

Thank you again Susan for your kind words, and for adding me to your friends.

Enjoyed your "Sit" video of Hobson having a paddle and then coming up to you for a good shake. :) Mitch is not at all keen on water,  he much prefers wading through pools of mud and peat bogs (urgh), which are very easy for him to find in wet Wales!

Mitch is quite fine in appearence, at least compared to my previous ES Gus - who was a very big strong boned boy with a personality to match. There are four Engsetts in his line.

Best wishes

Tony

I have only just seen your comment on my Fins birthday blog...sorry if I didn't reply earlier, but yes they are very good at standing and looking really good until you take a camera out...then its every dog for itself...in every conceivable direction...

Thanks for the comment all the best Dee and the gang

I'm so sorry to read your latest news, what a terrible time for you and your darlings.  I've not been online for a while now but saw your message come through and had to let you know that I'm thinking of you all and sending lots of healing vibes xxx

I know it can be rough at time and that is when I held onto those special memories I shared with my boys........the last Shilo I had Pebbles ( the inherited Brittany that put me in the wheelchair for six months) also going thru a different illness...seemed like that is what I did then was take care of my old gentlemen.......but even with all that I treasure each moment I shared with them and for the life lessons they both taught me.  Pebbles message was a triple one....one Brittany's are as special as Irish Setter's are, St Louis Cardinal baseball is what you watch when it is too hot outside ( where I found my Molly a year later) and that rescued dogs can be wonderful pets.  So hope that soon you have them both feeling better so you can just relax a bit and enjoy them.

Thankyou Susan. Yes, we are planning on adding another ES puppy to our family in the next few months. Will definately post some pics.

Take care,
Lynn

Hang in there and I am hoping all are reasonably healthy soon....sometimes it is only much later we see the reasons for things....like that baseball game thing with Pebbles led me to Molly a year and a half after I lost my old gentlemen...and after my better half said NO More Dogs!  I now try not to question but to do the best I can with what I have each day..... Molly healed so many hearts here in our home and most of all softened the one that said no to any more dogs.....Molly loves us all but she is definitely a Daddy's girl. Keep us posted on how things are going,

Oh my dear, very dear Susan, I am so very sorry to read about Hammer's departure!!!!! I had my sister visiting and did not open my computer for quite a while, sorry for the delay, I just cannot believe it ... what a tragedy!

My heart is with you lovely Susan, and I sincerely hope that the love of Rose and Hobson will help you to face this horrible time.

Susan, I have just found out this very minute that you've lost your beautiful Hammer. I am so, so sorry.  I have been wondering & thinking about him often.  Not hearing from you, I was worried. 

Please know you are both in my thoughts & prayers.  He was a lovely boy who will live on in your heart forever.

My sincere condolences.

That's a really lovely thing to say Susan,I hope you feel a little better today . I lost my beautiful Morgan june 2010

and the kind comments I received on ES helped enormously, nothing makes up for the loss but some how the knowledge that others understood the loss was comforting. I wept every day for at least three months , they are not just pets but more like children

 

all the best Peter

Hi Susan thanks for the note it was devastating to loose Morgan I loved him like a child , he knew when I was struggling with life and would stay and lean against me or lay on me and helped me from drowning in stress by just being close. His presence soothed my soul , I know what your'e going through with the loss of Hammer, you see a picture or a sentence and tears flow. Our dogs show no malice they forgive and hold no grudge they live in the now and are content and have a beauty to look at that gives joy and pleasure, it's no wonder we cry at the loss             Peter
