Jag har har varit så sur o ledsen över att jag inte kan åka ner till Köping så nu har jag fixat o trixat så att jag kommer att åka ner till ISF:en. Troligen kommer jag att åka ner på söndagmorgonen från Hudik, men om vi blir klar tidigt på lördagen så börjar jag rulla ner kvällen innan. Så vi kommer att synas där!!
Soliga hälsningar från ett varmt kontor :))

Beklagar sorgen! Det är så trist, när man måste ta farväl. Det finns ögonblick i livet då man saknar någon så mycket att man vill ta ut den ur ens drömmar och krama i verkligheten.

Hej Kristina
Tråkigt med Viktor. Vet hur det känns när dem gamla måste lämna oss. Men den dagen kommer ju alltid, tur att man har sina minnen kvar utav allt roligt man har haft med dem.
Kram

I grief for you Kristina. My Tucker cross the rainbow bridge in Feburary. I so enjoy writing to people all over the world who enjoy Irish Setters. My biological mother came Sweden and it is a country I would love to visit someday. My adopted parents visited and said Sweden was so beautiful. It was so kind of you to drop me a note. Jo Ann

Trip to Sweden has been my dream. If you ever decide to make a trip to San Francisco Bay Area know you have place to stay. I live 12 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge, 11 miles east from ocean and Muir Woods and hour south of the wine country. Jo Ann

Enjoy these lovely summer months and lots of sunny greetings from Scotland,

Hej Kristina!
Jag köper 2 vattenmeloner åt gången, en till hundarna och en till tvåbenta gänget.
Äter dina också detta godis?
Jag tittade på dina nya badfoton och kom på hur mycket jag älskade ditt foto på Charlie i vassen förra sommaren.....

Hej Kristina! Är inte du i Köping?! Vi valde att inte åka dit. Kanske gjorde vi rätt med gårdagens lite annorlunda bedömning. Hade bra! Kram Jenny

120 mil på en dag... Ja, vi hundmänniskor är inte riktigt kloka! Låter som det gick bra för dig och Charlie ändå, kul! Har du hört ngt från dagens ISF?

Jul 19, 2009
Jenny Ronnebro

Tack för resultatet! Bägge hundarna är ju fina och jätteroligt för Birgitta och Mia! Ha en bra vecka" Kram

Dee Rance

Thanks for the comment on the blog, I tend to agree with you as to the numbers, she is rather large isn't she...just hope that she doesn't explode, ha ha!!but she is going to get a lot bigger before she has them, still, as I said, two more weeks to go.
All the best Dee and the girls

Hi Kristina
Have just seen now about the loss of your Viktor last month !
At that moment, i was very busy with my work and don't go to see on internet !
So, as you said , it's better to think of the well-being of your beloved dog then thinking of your own distress ! You really are a good breeder as i already say it when you lose your little girl at 6 months .
Give a big kiss to the other dogs and especialy to Charlie who i like very much !

Tack Kristina, roligt att du gillar mina tjejer :-)

Dee Rance

Oh yes I will, she is having trouble getting up on the bed or the settee, and then when up she can't get down poor wee sole, eating is difficult too, she is on 4 meals at the moment, but I think soon on 5, and this makes exercise difficult, I like to leave at least 2 hours between food and exercise, but it is only two weeks to go, and hopefully she will get them early, its her 4th birthday on the 27th so keeping my fingers crossed for that date..
All the best and thanks for the comments

Sarah would like to thank you for wishing her a happy birthday! She's flattered by your lovely words about her and her babies.
Well, I think, she does know what a beauty she is, but would never say that. She just happy and seems to agree when others speak kind about her :-))
So thank you, Kristina! ::-))

Hugs from all of us / Marta

I can't remember what it was that made them look like that, it was many months ago that I took those pictures, in fact there was a few of Christmas still in the camera.
Thanks for the comment

Jag förstår att du gärna hade viljat ha lilla "Grace". Hon ser helt ljuvlig ut. Hoppas att hon kommer till ett hem där vi får se henne. De andra valparna såg också fina ut! Kram

She will explode if she doesn't have them soon. I just pray that all will be OK for all concerned, thanks for the comment though

Dee Rance

Thank you for that Kristina
I haven't had a litter since the early 80's so it is like I am NEW to all of this, problem is I know all the downfalls that can occur, nearly loosing Jas 4 years ago, so I do know what can go wrong, and at the moment my glass is ''half empty'' I am worried to say the least, but I am with you as to the speed of a large litter, so fingers crossed that she doesn't explode....ha ha....;o))
All the best Dee and the girls

Hej Kristina!
Visst e´hon en huligan vår Agnes, men en väldigt rolig en.
Den här tiden i valpens liv går bara så förtvivlat fort, snart är det stora "skinnet" i vuxet.

Ha det gott och pussa Charlie med de snygga barnen
