Thanks Myra. Clyde came back home yesterday, happier to know he is home with us all. Once again thankyou for letting us come and see all your beautiful babies on Sunday. I would love to visit your family every day as while I was there on Sunday the pain I have had since Clyde left us just seemed a little easier. We all feel the urgency for Dexter even more now. Also thankyou for introducing me to this site and all your photos of your babies are gorgeous. I see Clyde in so many of them especially the ones of Gemma. Clyde's spirit is definately waiting at the gates of Amhurst to be reborn for us. Thanks again for everything. Gail xo :)

When it is quiet and the Eastern browns do not come down to the water's edge the Southport Broadwater is a nice place for Setters to paddle their paws. The weather has been incredibly humid and hot but at least we have all been safe unlike those living in North Queensland.

Hi,

I am happy to be your friend. My sister-in-law Sarah Baker breeds Irish Wolfhounds in Adelaide. We really want to visit her, but we run our own business and we are just much too busy at the moment.

Hi Myra,

Thanks for your comment on our 10k run. I think Mai is trimming down well. I would love to know how much she has lost. When we were at the beach and she had got wet she was looking a little leaner. She loves the runs. Suzanne

Hi Myra !

Many thanks for your well wishes for Lego, glad you liked his picture. We're all hoping it'll solve his problems as he must be pretty fed up with it all by now...nearly a year so he could certainly do with some good news :) Thanks again.

Hi there Myra

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, but have got to agree, can't imagine why anyone would want to go out there voluntarily but hey what the hell do I know...

Hope all is well with you and yours...

Thanks Myra ! Lego's statically charged look always brings a smile to my face...maybe not the best look for the show ring but always funny to look at :) and I wouldn't change him a bit.

Thank you for welcoming me to Exclusively Setters. I was woofer sitting for a friend on Sunday in Newport Pagnell and was out walking Storm & Molly (Lab & Westie) when I turned and saw the most amazing sight.....8 glorious Irish Setters galloping across the field, I had to stop to get my camera out. I managed to meet up with their owner who I now know is Rosie. We lost our Danny last September and despite still having 4 woofers in the house (photo below), he has left such a hole in ours lives. I wish my mum had been with me on Sunday..........brought a tear to my eye.

I have admired your irish on the net for some time and i know they are all based on the James' old lines, as are mine. I will post some pics over the next few days.

Best Regards
