I live in Bratislava, near the Danube.
My love, my almost everything was my devil Gordonxxl.He was a big clown with a huge warm heart and a tender soul.
He died 19th October,2008.
He suffered from hip dysplasia-HD/D.
Very painful and horrible death.
I miss him so much
Now I have a witch Isis (Kabaret Girl form the Noble Friends).
I am so sorry about the loss of your boy...he seemed to be such a character...our dogs are with us such a short time but then we would not be without them...Cherish the memories ! Kindest regards
Catherine
Hi there Ereni,
I have just been trawling through the comments and I think that my problem pains into insignificance, I was devastated when I found out what had hapend to your boy, my heart goes out to you, and your family. We have these beautiful animals for such a short time when their lives go full circle, but to have it cut so short is so sad, I know that it isn't much but we will be thinking of you here. Dee
Hi there keep in touch Saffy Jas and I are off to bed now, Saffy always slept on her own but I can't leave her on her own, so my bed is getting smaller, its lucky I don't have a partner!!!!!!! No room............Dee and the girls
Saffy is coming on, she tried to be her usual self, leaping about like and idiot this morning, she yelped and stopped. I think that she will learn not jump about because it hurts. I must say that she is enjoying sleeping on the bed, BUT she is one of those who stretches out crossways so I am up and down all night putting her on ''her own side'' I don't think she even wakes up.........Thanks for everyone thinking of us it is so comforting, for me. I just wish I was able to get to the bottom of whatever it was that happened, but I don't think I will, the vets have said it was 2 things now, and I know it was nether of them, but she is still hear despite their efforts...
Thanks for the thoughts Ereni
I will try and write a blog. As what happened to her was rather out of the ordinary. I will wait until she is definitely out of the woods before I write something Thanks for the thoughts we all appreciate them Dee and the girls
Hi! thanks for the comment on My Lunas pictures. Yes she's got really amazing eyes. On the photo she's looking after me - so she looks a bit anxious, but the second one - hmm we love each other too much :)
Have a nice day Caroline & Luna
Thankyou Reni. Skye was my first Irish Setter and as you can see, was a lovely, very happy girl. She was so funny, was always making us laugh. Loved life to the fullest. She was just over 5 when she left us. Far too young. I still get very teary when I think of her. Skye and Gordon will be friends, I'm sure.
Thinking of you xx
Lynn & girls.
Thanks so much, it has been difficult to keep focused over the past week but I am hoping that she is now getting over it, whatever it was I don't think that we will never get to the bottom of it. The vets are adamant that it was bloat but they were equally adamant that it was Piametra.....a change of tablets and all seems to be settling down in her gut perhaps that is all she needed after all...not a major operation !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dee and the girls
Hi Ereni
Thanks for comment the photo of Glenn and Jamie, my two lovely boys :-) Now we have snow. Also a funny time for the boys.
All the best for you, regards Esther
Good morning Ereni!
I can see you are up early and putting nice comments on photographs :-)
The wind has been howling all night here but at least its not grey anymore. Must get going on my walk so that I can start work...a whole pile of crossword-illustrations to be done. Have a great day!
Hi Reni,
Thanks so much for your comments. Somehow I keep finding more photo's to add. Have been thinking of you a lot, and thinking of my Skye and your Gordon playing 'happy Setters' together.
Thanks Reni, Time will help ease your pain, and yes it's so nice to look at everyone's photo's. I really look forward to seeing everyone's beautiful Setters from all over the world.
Yes Ereni, please start a new discussion on the subject of finding the best breeder!
Difficult for me to do!
Getting ready now to go to Malmö to hold an obedience-course. Plenty of warm clothes needed. Its not that cold, but a howling wind! Have a super weekend!
Hi there Ereni
Thanks for the 'ask' If I tell you that she is back to driving me mad again, tarring around the house like a puppy again.....Yes she is back to her old self, you wouldn't know that there had been anything wrong with her, you can't even see the scar, we are just about to go out for a walk, trying to get her back to being fit again....she is lying on her back with all the legs in the air, (assuming the setter position) Thank you so much for asking after her. Dee and the girls
:-) honestly said, when posting the blog about the website, i just could not insert the hyperlink, so it opens up... have done it before but yesterday it just did not work...
hope you find a doggie-job!
Thanks for that, I just hope that she keeps going the same way, I don't seem to be able to relax with Saffy these days. I hope one day, I am like a paranoid parent, expecting the worse all the time.....so just keeping my fingers crossed. Dee and the girls
Hi Reni, I've re-sent my email to your second address. Hope you get it this time. You must have thought I was awful not replying. I would never do that. Also thought it was strange that I hadn't heard back from you. Now we know why !!!!!!!. I loved your email & pictures of your family. You all looked wonderful.
Hi Reni,
Hope you'll find a good job with dogs and setters somewhere. I will keep my eyes open :-) Any news about your other project yet?
Lots of sunny greetings from Scotland,
Nicole & Busby
You are welcome....
I was quite worried about Saffy last night, yesterday was the 1st time that I had let her run, since her operation, and she came home and was sick, I panicked...but poor Busby Nicole's Gordon was sick as well and we were walking with him yesterday, so sad for Busby but it made me feel better because it wasn't just Saffy, she is now OK but Busby is still feeling bad, I hope he feels better soon.
As I said if my friend and her Kennel maid don't work out I will think of you and let her know that you are wanting to work with dogs...It is hard work in a kennel but it is rewording to see happy and contented dogs under your care
All the best to you Dee and the girls
Reni, I have just re-sent my original email. Can't understand what's going wrong. Anyway, we will sort it out. I've sent it to your first address, seeing the second one didn't go. Keep an eye out for it to appear (lol). Let me know.
Saffy is back to her old self now, she is charging round the house in her usual demented way, though she has got very vocal lately....barking at everything. Dee and the girls
You are welcome Reni. I think Megg has an expression a lot like your lovely Gordon. Still love to look through your photo's. I find new and interesting ones all the time. You could get a job abroard as a 'doggy' photographer. Have you ever thought of that?????
Tess thanks you very much Reni for her beautiful picture. That is really sweet of you. She had a good day, but Megg did try to steal her new birthday pup more than once. They even had a 'tug of war' with it (lol). Lucky it's tough and survived.
Good night to you Reni. It's 9.10am Friday here. The start of a new day. The girls are outside chasing birds, well, Megg is. Tess is here with me, as usual. She goes out to play for a minute or two, then runs back in.
Have a great weekend. Write when you have time !!!!!.
