Two again. Darwin (17/10/2004) and Mac (born 1/6/11).
How long have you owned Irish Setters?
Since 1996
About Me:
My love story with Irish setters started in 1996 with the most wonderful IS ever - MC, a field trial with Monroad ancestors. I was so lucky to have this very special and clever boy!!! Unfortunately, I lost him in May 2010, a couple of days short before his 14th birthday.
In between, in January 2005 came very handsome Darwin, the sweetest nature possible, Irish born with Thendara gd-parents. Recently we had a new addition to the family, Mac (the holy terror), born the 1/6/2011 from Sumaric Mr. Jingles and Thendara Vanilla Ice.
Thank you for your comments on my two boys, I am besotted with them just like you are but it is lovely to have nice comments. And they certainly made my birthday extra special!
Thanks Chantal!!! I was off in Manchester all day for work, but I am now in the train back and I am sure that Marco and Oberon have prepared some special welcome this evening:)) have a great week end, hopefully at one of your superb beaches!
Hi Chantal, sorry tken me a while to get back to you work been very busy, got a weeks holiday now and picking up my new puppie Hector tomorrow and I can,t wait for my first cuddle and for him to meet the rest of my animals and family, your phots are lovely.
How very kind of you to notice and wish me a greeting. I had a very pleasant day inspite of the weather ( 34F and rain and fog ). The fellas seemed to be celebrating my birthday but then again, they seemed to be celebrating the day before and the day before and the day..........
Chantal thankyou for the birthday wishes . Molly has been busy all day chasing shadows as it is like a July day here (hot and sunny). We are off to dinner in just a bit and to pick up some doggie icecream for Molly on the way back . This year I am getting by with celebrating a whole week here ( have to work a wee bit later in week but not too many hours)...ending it with a concert (The Lettermen) and dinner with close friends on Saturday night. Teasing Alan that The Lettermen's music was oldies for me growing up but still looking forward to it.)
Hi Chantal, Finlay is doing well at the moment considering the vet said he only had 6 weeks at the begining of December, he's having shorter walks and all his fur has grown back on leg, i just keep hoping they have all got it wrong cant bear to think what i'd do with out him, thanks for asking about him,sometimes feel my friends none of them have dogs dont undrestand why i'm so upset (",)
Hi Chantal, thanks for your kind comments. the younger affie Rahni got shown and he got 5 out of 5 BOBs ( competion on the first day then they withdrew, but he did really well) with Susan showing both Rahni and Elton, spending lots of time running back and forwards to the seperate rings.
Hello Chantal, nous te souhaitons un heureux anniversaire ! Vu le nombre de gentils commentaires que tu envois à tout le monde, tu devrais recevoir une tonne de petits mots.
Profites bien de cette journée avec ta famille . Bisous des McBirdy
