Hi Cheryl
we are clear of any fires it has been very wet this year,we have had a couple of 40c days we dont get the sort of rainfall you get though ,mission beach seems to cop it every other year
Thank you Cheryl for your lovely comments about Henry, I think he is a smasher, he picked me up and made me smile again after I had lost Leon...dogs have a way of doing that to you, don't they?
I'm glad yours also bring you so much pleasure, they are beauties :-)
Thank you for your compliment on Bores and the photographs and thank you for yours. Sorry I didn't reply earlier, didn't realise there'd been the activity here.
Happy New Year anyway. Any further photos of Nanyima?
Thanks for the birthday wishes. We went to NSW for xmas leaving on 1 Jan for Tieri. We were gunna leave earlier but Connie had a high temp and tummy pains and was taken to Bathurst Hospital so that put us behind. Come up Coast Road but just missed getting through Rocky.So we stayed at Bouldercombe for a few nights untill we found out about another way home. On the way they were just putting up closed road sighs in front of us ,once at Dululu and again on the Monto - Caliope road. We got through Chinchilla a few hours before it went under (our first bit of luck)and a very scenic trip through Blackall Barcaldine Alpha Jerico Tambo. We must have seen the outback the greenest it has ever been,you couldn't see the bellies of any cattle.All the rivers and creeks were still running and you could see how high the water was over with trees ripped out grass lying over. 33 hours solid driving(except for flats .broken windscreen) must be a record for Bouldercombe to Tieri.
On the good side our pup has arrived on Dec 1 and we should get him for the March shows
Thankyou for your comforting words is was lovely to visit your page and remember as I watched your pics. It is so true love is being owned by an Irish Setter. My big girl is 14yrs 1mth & still going strong. Her entire life & emotions are about food! My baby was the cuddlepot & my shadow. Hope you are safe throughout all the crisis up there & that it has passed you by.
Glad that you are okay, Cheryl. I thought Mackay may be safe but the cyclone was so large. I always worry so much about the animals. There is no way I would ever leave my animal kids and I also help a lot of wildlife.

PS I note you started a discussion on bloat. I have had a very bad experience with a dog internet community in Australia and do not wish to get involved too much with discussions. My English Setter Hobson suffered GDV in 2009 purely because of the negligence of a vet. I am currently fighting the VSB of QLD about this and other matters with the support of my local MP. You can imagine how difficult this is but I continue to be a "thorn in their side".
Also, thank you for your kind comments re my search for Beau. Even though I have been a member of ES since 2007 I have not been active.
Many thanks for your kind well wishes for legolas. I'm hoping wednesday the 16th of feb will be his last trip to the vets for quite some time...fingers crossed.
I have not read your discussion topic on "bloat" because I am certain it would upset me but for your interest Hobson suffered GDV (the worst kind of bloat) because of veterinary treatment for a minor skin problem, i.e. Prednisone and Hills Vet Science z/d low allergen dried food. Hobson had eaten a natural diet his entire life and I had been able to keep his skin problems under control with natural therapies. The vet ignored this and gave Hobson a dangerous drug which I was not made aware of and changed his diet only to get more money out of me. He knew he was responsible and wiped his hands of the matter. So far the VSB will do nothing but this is standard behaviour for them. I have attached a photo of Hobson pre and post GDV surgery. Even though Hobson made the most amazing recovery of any dog the vet emergency hospital had operated on for GDV (he tried to get out of his cage to come home to me as soon as he woke up after the surgery and was discharged 1 day later), it took his body 12 months to recover and he has never been the same dog. Just as with Beau and Khomet, I will never stop until I achieve justice for Hobson.
Thanks for your comment on our 10k run. It all started off very slowly about 18 mths ago. Not really sure where it is going to take us, it is just for good health. Mai loves the runs and is a great motivator.
Hope you have faired well with all that mother nature has thrown at Queensland.
yes very hot I have not experienced anything like that before. Molly could not function. We attempted to get her in our pool but she would not be part of that. Anyway abit cooler now, hope next summer is not like this one with all the floods etc. Take care
Lego's vet had postponed his procedure until the 22, she was waiting to hear from a specialist in Cork but the latest news now is the people in Cork want to see him...the saga continues...I'm expecting another call from her tomorrow to see what's going to happen, unfortunately it looks like he may have several more visits ahead of him, it wasn't the outcome I was hoping for.
I'll keep you posted.
~Take care

Dear Cheryl
I hope you will all be safe tonight.

Keep safe and I hope that Queensland will fair good fortune. I also hope that Mother nature will get into balance soon.
Isn't it great sharing everything Irish Setter on this website:-)

Hi Cheryl
Glad you are all o.k.from the shocking cyclone and floods...
Thanks Cheryl !! we're all keeping our fingers & paws crossed here :)
Poor Lego could do with a break from the vets !
