Wow I love your set up. Mine have to go into the bath, they hate it, that would be so much easier, for them and me....I do hope that it helped you. I know that it gets messy, but it is all worth it in the end, I kind of feel that you take a lot out of their coats, (natural oil's etc) when we bath them so we need to put something back, and if you can get hold of the Avon, then just occasionally spray his 'willy feathers' with it, they won't get dry and brake off quite as much as they usually will. I spray Jas between the back legs with it every now and then, for the same reason. Can't wait to see him in a couple of weeks....

I have a garage that one day I will turn into a grooming room, I wish I could have it now because the bath kills my back...and getting them in there is a battle. Jas hates being bathed, and fights me all the way, and she is no feather weight.
I am glad that some of the tips work. I don't have a dog at the moment so don't have to worry about when the girls are in season. Though if Saffy has puppies I hope to be keeping a dog so will have to start worrying about that kind of thing....

Bonsoir Catherine,
Je suis heureuse d'apprendre que le banc de Girly sera près du vôtre.
Car un petit coup de main en anglais sera le bien venu ;-)
Je prend le tunnel vendredi après-midi (plus rapide) et je dors à l'hôtel pour deux nuit.
Je suis accompagnée de Dorothée et Nadine. Toutes deux sont sur exclusively.
J'attends ce week end avec impatience.
Je serai également heureuse de faire votre connaissance.
A très bientôt.
Charlotte.

I see that.. I asked Nicole if she knew how she said you had already done it, well done its worth posting. I didn't know about some of the other things Nuts and Onions
Speak soon Dee and the girls

So sorry to hear that Billy has gone. My Bailey is Cataluna Son of a Gun, so they had a little in common after all.

Night and God bless Billy.xxx

Hi Catherine,
thanks for your comment on Glen:-)) I just wish I had the oportunities that seem to prevail in the UK for training... I'd love to do (even) more with Glen on the working side. I found that besides Peter's weeks the KC offer various training days. Pity there is not more interest from the breed clubs in organising training events (or maybe not enough interest from members)
Little boy Dillan lives with Manuela (also on this list) and is coming on nicely:-))

hello, maybe i am blind but i can't see any chat button??? i know that there is one on the gordon ning and chats are visible to all but i can't find one here? where is it?

Catherine, i really do not have that chat button :-))) very funny. refreshed the page several times but it just won't appear. maybe a good sign, otherwise this site will take even more of my time ;-)
today we have the carnival of the setter club, still thinking about my masquerade ;-)

costume i mean :)

happy to announce that finally i found the chat function. seems to work for me, at least i see your message and annette's as well. i believe it is for chatting with more members at the same time, not with individuals. you can use the little arrow in the right corner of the chat window to make the window disappear. hope this helps. off to the fields now with the doggies, byeee and have a nice weekend. going to write more later on.

Sorry Catherine, I've just been having a little giggle about your chat window that could not be closed - fancy chatting with Laura for 7 hours!!! I find 7 minutes hard going;o)))) (I'm sure she won't read this!)
No, seriously I've been experiencing problems too after my own website not showing my ES photographs I downloaded the 'Flash viewer' update at least 10 times and still can't get things to work... so frustrating isn't it!
Ning seems to be changing too much at once.

I got in and out again with clicking either on arrows or on the green light beside the figure. But it sounds as if you may be blocked;-(( have you switched off and re-started?

Thanks for the update. Glad your daughter figured it out!

Hi there Catherine, how is the preparation going??? I have just started to get the girls ready for Crufts. I am not sure if this time it is going to make any difference, Saffy in particular hasn't got much hair at the moment, but am going to Crufts so will bring her along...she looks like a miner puppy, not Post Graduate...Jas will I hope look good she is such a sweetie she deserves to win everything......
See you at Crufts, Dee and the girls

great to hear! i just tried it with Camilla (Danka's breeder) and i find it disturbing that when i change the ning page (right now from my own page to yours), the chat i had with her until now just disappeared... oh well, good that there are other channels of communication as well :-)

Hi there Catherine,
Just got back from a 'new' walk so the girls have had a wonderful time. Just have to do the final trim on neck and feet, will bath on Friday morning, gives me all day to dry them, Saffy will not take any extras because she just doesn't have any hair to worry about...But Jas on the other hand is going to take a lot of work, as usual, but it is worth it when she is 'unveiled' just before going in the ring, as you say lets hope it doesn't rain, I too hate driving in the rain, but the time I go down it isn't so crowded, just a lot of lorries...Oh well less than a week now, EEEKKK will see you on Saturday, and yes.....the photo.....should be good though, if it can be organised, lucky it isn't me organising it, but I WILL get EVERYONE in it, if it kills me...
Dee and the girls..

yes, it sends me an invitation to join your chat :-) i have to accept it - but as i was out with the girls, i couldn't... let's stick to the private messages here on the real site, that works for sure.

Hi there Catherine
I had noticed that as well but me not being very technical I didn't know how to use it..only one problem....I rely on spell check really a lot, I can't spell I am Dyslexic so perhaps you may find it difficult to understand me....but hey if you can tell my how it works I'll give it a go.....
Dee and the girls

Hi Catherine
We live on the edge of Savernake Forest & we have to be careful in the summer months. Only a week before we had been sledging in the same field covered in 10 inches of snow!
See you soon
Karen

Thanks so much, I am enjoying having another Irish boy in the house. My life has been so empty since I lost Scout. My girls are so happy also it has been so wonderful watching them come alive again. I am not the best photographer but, will post some as soon as I have them.
