I guess baby molly does not do as much as Miss Molly. She hangs with me but when Neil gets home then it is on. She does not have lots of toys like Miss Molly and only plays with her toys outside. We should do more activity but she seems happy enough.

I bet you felt something when they moved and took her cat. 18 years is a great age for a cat. Neil has one when he was younger who lived to 21 but ours I think only 14 or 15. Our IS Sharla was 15 when she died.

she is a funny thing. Seems to have so much character. Molly's toys are wet from the rain and sitting on the desk railing to dry.

You should get some nice weather soon. We always have rain April and sometimes in May.

roast beef yum my favourite

I did not have time to stop Molly but I think if he had placed his head in further she would have leaned forward and the rest I am not sure. She places her out of the window too not while we are driving through. Just sits on the back seat. How's joy glasses so cute. I don't think baby molly would wear them. Joy looks so good

yes snakes and mice, rates, bandicots or anything like that is a no no with me. I would have let fly if I had seen my dog playing with a snake. The snakes should be alseep now for winter. I think it was and because they were gardening they disturbed it. Overcast here today and no work next door maybe they are having a holiday... GOOD

Number 2 granddaughter is going in a float today. In Alice they have a public holiday for May Day and she is riding in a parade with her pre school.

In sydney we do not do May day. In Alice they do... Australia has different public holidays in each state and school holidays are at different times just to make things difficult. No a brochure in the paper. Neil would like to go on a cruise in Alaska. Friend of mine did that last year. If we do anything like that we would have to do it before 2013

Sherry,

Darwin is a weird boy, but so lovable! His paw story is very long and unbelievable ... but here goes! It goes back to when he was a pup and he somehow got a cut in his paw, right underneath on the pad. It seemed to be healing up, but it got inflamed and infected - yes, through a grass seed getting in there! We guess he was trying to get at the source of his pain and started chewing one of his nails ... bit the nail off completely over time and exposed the tender flesh underneath. We bandaged his lower paw to try to keep him away from the nail, and then he started licking further up his leg .... exposing the flesh there because his tongue was so rough! For months now we have been trying to stop him doing this and it seemed that we just had success, but this morning he was at it again! I was so angry with him a couple of hours ago, and had to put a bandage on it again, but I believe the way the paw flexes when he runs put pressure on that spot and hurt him again. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I could have killed him a few hours ago!

i have just been having the problem where I could not reply. Poor Molly is she o.k. I hate it when they attack from behind. She should be able to go for her walk and have fun not have to worry about other aggressive dogs?

Glad you did not take her off the lead. She is now safely home and tucked up in bed

thats so nice what a sweetie.

Molly really acting up sometimes it is like she is trying to speak to me.

thought I would tell you this in regards to Miss Molly issue with the hound last night. Many years ago we were walking our IS Sharla Black lab came running out of the bushes of a house and barking and growling at her. She turns on him and somehow knocked him over. He ended up on his back. Hows that for a setter.

Next night he came out again saw her and ran back into his yard.I will never forget that night. Baby Molly is more like Sharla than Cherie but all different.

Hi Sherry! Thanks for your comments and invitation. I agree, It's really nice site. More live with irish setter, more friends have.  Setter connected people all over the world! Thanks them for that and for their love to us.

Best regards your family and Ms Molly!

Thank you Sherry for the kind comments about Grace & Molly

Ms Molly looks a real sweetie

Molly and Samson still the same. Molly was just sick not sure what brought that on. She has destroyed one of her toys so hope she has not eaten anything from that.

Maybe they need to roster a bit better for you at work. Not good. Day off is day off. Neck still a problem will email you.

thats fair enough re job. Molly is outside just about to let her back in. We are 15 hours in front of you. Better when it is daylight saving for us.

I will buy Molly another toy to replace this one and one hopefully she can not rip up and eat bits. It was in the bargin barrel and she sniffed it out.

Baby Molly exactly the same here with her toy.

Just as I am writing this a beautiful while grey cat came up to the glass door. I think it is the million dollar rare variety from next door. If so should not be outside. Anyway Samson sees it and rushes to the glass and off it goes. I think our Samson has a few issues lately. Molly seems o.k. 

Hi Sherry ! how are things ? Hoping you & of course Miss Molly are all keeping well.

I'm glad my beastie's hair made you laugh again :) I have to admit...it's hard not to :)

You should see it on a windy day, non stop smiles from me. Tragically my own tresses are not nearly so glamourous nor note worthy :) He's in great form at the moment, his last injection has really helped him, he has a new lease on life, leaping around the place like a pup ! let's hope it lasts.

Bye for now & thanks as always for the lovely comments Sherry  xx

Yes Sherry, it's great, I'm hoping it will last for a few more months at least, fingers crossed. I suppose it does look like he's looking at his hair :) he was actually keeping one eye firmly locked on a pidgeon on the shed roof, ever the Setter :)

Sorry to hear about your impending storm, weather here not too bad at the moment and we rarely get major storms, just as well as Lego doesn't like thunder & poor old Con was terrified of it, Theoden...not so much, he's alot calmer. You're lucky Molly is not badly bothered by them, especially of they're fairly regular. Batton down the hatches my friend !

~Take care, Michelle & the lads

Yes! That's Dudley as a puppy. His former owner gave me a pix. She said Dudley was the biggest and most mellow of the liter of eleven so she picked him. He's been mellow throughout his life. A non-barker and a companionable fellow tho mischievous.

At the moment Dudley is 'in the doghouse.' My husband and I went on bike ride that took longer than expected. Dog walker forgot to come by. When we returned Dudley went out, returned to the house and then 'had a messy accident.' We were terrified Dudley had become incontinent but vet said Dudley was 'acting out,' angry at us for being left alone for so long. Can't blame him.

Dudley also hates seeing us pack for a trip. Sight of a  suitcase makes him tremble with anxiety.  Sadly he won't even look us in the eye when we try to say 'goodbye." I feel guilty for going away.  His intelligence is scary!

Sherry, Thank you! Yes it is a beautiful place, if a little wild and windswept right now! Darwin is still having problems. He is bandage-free now, but we are watching him carefully in case he goes back to this lick sore. His poor paw is even a bit worse, because the shoe he was wearing when it was wet out side, to keep his bandage dry, has chafed his wee paw!

Hopefully he will stay away from it ... cross your fingers! David

Hi Sherry, thank you very much for your birthday wishes ;-)

Charlotte

Hi Sherry thank you for the comments on Sophie your Molly is growing into a handsome

young lady

Thank you Cherry for your nice comments about our Keann.
He is very cleaver and a adorable puppy.

Of course we'll take a lot of pictures of our new boy.

just after that they came in asked if they could use our power. I said yes but when he knocked at the door I was in another part of the house and I could hear Molly growling. I am over the whole thing. I said to him when will you all be finished and reply was roof on Monday and then it should speed up.

Just back from having hair shampooed and cut nice...
