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).
Hi Reni. How are you????? How time flies. Already 8 days into the New Year. I've been thinking of you today. Let me know about your New Year. Do you go to the city, or do you just have small celebrations at home. We like to stay home, or close to home as I don't like all the fireworks as they upset so many dogs. My girls luckily are fine, but so many arn't.
I also had a look at your frozen rose. How beautiful. You are wonderful with your camera.
Hi Reni. Thankyou for that beautiful photo. I love it.xxx. Sorry that you haven't been well. Hope you're on the mend now though. Your sister is very lucky to have you to go and stay at her house, and look after her dog.
I will go and have a look at your website now. Thankyou.
Wow!!!!!!! Your new website is wonderful. Just the most lovely photo's. So nice to see Gordon there. Such lovely photo's of him.
I enjoyed looking through it very much. You have been very busy.
How beautiful Ereni!!!! Thank you so much for this rose :-)
Hope you are fine. I have look at your new webside. BRAVO, marvelous pictures, Let me ask you about your camera. Sorry I 'm very wondering !
Thankyou Reni. Nice to hear from you. Jo is fine but sad. I'm sure she will have room in her heart for another ex-racing greyhound one day but she can't think of it yet. Takes time. She is o.k. though. Thanks so much for asking. xxxx.
You're right. I still like the berries but I need to crop it more so it fits in the space up there ;-)) Hope you still have enough gas for the time being! Let's just hope for an early and warm spring!!
Thank you for looking my website. I really like your new one too and will keep going back to it :-) I see that the Slovakian membership is growing here :-))
Hi Reni. Thinking of you. How are you???? We are having very hot weather here. 39deg. C. yesterday. Today is much cooler, thankgoodness. The girls are fine. Don't venture too far from the air-conditioning these days. Take care, Will write soon.
Lynn & girls xxxx
Just saw your picture with a lovely Irish. Sooooo nice. How are you???
I got your email xx. Will write in a day or so. It's very hot here. Yesterday and today were 39deg.C and for the next 4 days, it's going to be over 40. Thankgoodness for airconditioning. Girls don't venture very far.
Take care

Na vystavy zatial nechodime/mometalne vyzerame ako tie dva exponaty na vystave/,setak trochu pribere a na niektoru sa urcite vyberieme,ešte nie je jasne kam a kedy,ale raz....:-))Dame vediet.:-)))))
Hi Reni,
You wouldn't want to be here right now. Not in Melbourne anyway. Yesterday reached 43deg.C, and today and tomorrow are expected to be the same. It's sweltering. No relief until at least Sat.night or Sunday. Am loving the pics. of the dogs playing in the snow right now.
sorry Reni, i log in to this site in the morning and show online all the time but in reality i am soooo busy at work now, worked 16 hours in the past days... i am sooo tired that i fell asleep on the couch yesterday (which i never do). also we have very grey and rainy weather that gives me such a headache... but my red girls are doing fine, and that is the most important.
thanks for the lovely foto from trencin! i think you had a nice day. hope we'll meet one day, i should check the show schedules for slovakia maybe :-)
Reni+AG - Thanks for your message. Glad you like the site. I am so lucky that we have so many great members of our community that have committed to grow the site. Glad to have you as part of our Setter community!
Hi Reni,
That's a great photo of your mountains and such beautiful and pure snow!! We had snow today but not as much as you get in Slovakia or Switzerland ;-)) But we enjoyed it nevertheless!!
How is your flu? I hope you've managed to fight it off.
lots of love,
Nicole & Busby
Thank you Reni for your nice comment! Winter is a grat time for my Setterboys. There loves to play in the snow. Last weekend we have visit from Gladys and her familiy- She is the sister of Glenn. It was a beautiful weekend. (More photos : wwww.setterboys.ch)
How are you?
All the best Esther
Ahoj
Jasne ze lyzujem, ale ked idem s Niom, tak sme len na peso. Ty si myslislela skialpinistov? Hej lenze ja by som chodila s Ninim na volno a ked je blby sneh, tak jemu sa strasne robia snehove gule sa strsti a medzi labami, aj ked som mu to vystrihala. Na lyziach to zdrzuje, lebo mu to treba vytahovat. Ale chystam sa ho zobrat na bezky, tak bude mensia moznost, ze spusti lavinu....:-))
Kedy su prazdniny? My sa od marca vraciame do Ziliny, takze neviem.

are you a photographer???

love Rhona, Bruce and Lucy
Thanks Reni for looking at my new pics. It's soooo hot here that the girls were actually happy to have a bath. We are having a slight break from the very high temperatures this week. It's been around 30ish, but Saturday they predict another day of 43C. Not fun.
i am pleased to meet you too
i wish you luck for the near future
May i ask you a question
Are you a Photographer because you photos ae stunning and so perfect
Write back soon
Rhona, Lucy and Bruce
Thanks Reni, Yes we are fine. The weather has been soooo hot, and yesterday fires cropped up everywhere. Very serious. They are not far from us, although we are safe. Lots of homes have been lost, many have died, many admitted to hospitals. It's been terrible.
Hopefully things will get better as the weather is much cooler today so it will help the fire-fighters.
Thanks for asking. Take care,
Lynn & girls
Hello Again
I went on your website you sent me and the pictures are stunning
I wish you all the best for the year following

All the best luck for the near future x
Hi Reni, Thankyou for your note. Not sure if I read it correctly though.
Did you say you were getting an ES puppy in 3 days???. Not sure if you are just looking after one or if it will be yours. Let me know. I'm very happy for you; and an English baby. Sooooo cute and cuddly.
Thanks Reni. This will give you a chance to get back into being a 'dog Mum' again. You will do a wonderful job, I'm sure.
Hope we see lots of photo's from your week with him. I looked on the ES group and saw him there. I remembered your friend had an English.
Yes, I do know about this Reni, or a little bit anyway. 'Dogs Victoria', which is where all the Victorian dogs are registered for showing, breeding, obedience, etc. is behind this 'Virtual Dog Show' to raise money for the Fire Victims, their families etc. Obviously it is not a real show, but I think you can enter your dogs name, age, whatever, and he/she will be in the catalogue. You pay a fee and all the proceeds go to help the dog people who have been touched in one way or another by these fires. Something like that anyway. I have only seen it on this site, but it does seem genuine and will probably raise quite a bit of money. From what I gather, it is also posted on many other dog sites.
Hi Ereni,
I love your new photos! Have you taken in a new dog?I know he will never replace Gordon but he should give you lots of happiness.We have just lost our Billy ( he had a tumour of the prostate)
Warmest regards,
Catherine
Hi Ereni,
Thank you for your kind words....they leave such a big gap when they go...
I have still got 3 Irish with us, Peter who is 10 and a half and the 2 pups from my litter (they are 3 years old now) and I am planning a litter this Summer if everything goes to plan. Enjoy looking after Cairo! This is what my sister does(looks after friends' dogs)since she lost her Golden Retriever last Autumn....
Warmest regards,
Catherine
Hi Ereni a while since last message. Hope you are well unlike me who has just had a bout of Gastro Enteritis,.Luckily im coming good today.The weather for us has been bad we dont get used to loads of snow anymore. I used to love it as a child cars got stuck people didnt mind now its a full blown operation to get people to work and back though it when it happens.Our estate as roads uphill to get off and our street also is slightly raised so can be rather frustrating getting in and out of the drive to go uphill.The grit contractors dont do our street but they do a bus route though our estate so if you get out of our street not far to saftey you hope.
My dogs have loved the small amount we had but walking would have been difficult.Hope your brood is lively and thriving.
Hi Reni, Was just thinking about you this morning. Thanks for writing and for the beautiful 'snowy' photo. Hope you're taking pics. of Cairo. He does sound a sweetie. Girls are well. Megg had her yearly blood test last week and passed with flying colours. She had been a bit unwell, but is fine now. Just wanted her checked out thoroughly. My vet is pleased with her.
Love to you and Cairo. I'm sure he is keeping you on your toes.
Lynn & girls.
my camera is very bad compared to all these here on the site... i think that's why i stopped posting :-( the below photo was taken yesterday, we had a setterwalk with our setterclub, there were 13 setters participating, these are some of the irish setters - those that were obedient and knew sit-and-stay :-)) from left to right: Odin-Danka-Nero-Dorka
no, there were actually 6 that could sit (still not many, you are right, people are strange who don't teach their dogs), there is an english setter and gordon next to odin, but my friend took one pic of the "irish part" only as well. will try to post some photos tonight. until then you get two others: they belong to the guy i greeted with "velkám" on the gordonning, do you remember? :-)))
hi nice to hear from you again. I got to the hospical but the results of tests had got lost so im left now for them to find them and they will ring me to let me know the next move most prob a short operation.
I hope to beable to have it when it suits me they said it is only a key hole one.
