Hi Karen,

Marie

Hi Karen I dont mean to be a stalker!!! but thought i would have alook to see if you were on the site and it turns out we are already friends!!! niced meeting you. noeleen danielle and betti.

Karen,

Are there any shows in the North coming up? I know there's the Belfast show in September, but is there anything before that? We are starting Mac at obedience class on Wednesday - that should be chaotic! David

Hi Karen thinking of you and Katie hope all goes well

kind regards Martina

Karen,

Wee Mac had a great time at the meet! He was too exhausted to tell his story ... so far! I'm not sure whether to bring him to the show on Saturday, since it's inside. He could jump on other dogs and be disruptive. I don't want to upset anyone, who is showing.

How are the wee pups and Katie?

David

He's just a family pet given to us as a gift... So we have no kennel name or anything for him. Where is yours from?

Gorgeous pictures of the puppies :D

Hello again Karen,

Thank you for your return comment. It is good to know that your pups go to a good home.

It is very difficult to find a pup with U.K. and Europian breeding in Australia, I know, I have been looking now for about 10 months. If it is not a rude or forbiden question what is the average cost of an Irish pup in the U.K.

I have been toying with the idea of importing a pup but I think the transport cost and quarantine would be to expensive and stressful on the pup.

Take care and enjoy the little fellows while you have them.

Graham.

Hell Karen,

Thank you for your reply and giving me the approx. costs of pups in the U.K. & Ireland.

It was mainly for my information and it is interesting to know that the price is about the same as here in Australia.

Thanks again and all the best.

Graham.

Karen, Thanks so much for the Birthday Wishes and I adore my Birthday Card, which arrived just before I went for my Birthday Lunch;o) Love it;o)))))

I was just reading that Karen!!! Do you do refunds?? haha

Hi Karen, Betti is keeping great she is getting very big, and taking lots of rest, she is due in about 2 weeks so we are very excited!!! Katies pups look great!! how is she?

Dear Karen, Every time I see a stolen/missing dog, cat, horse notice, I feel a terrible pain in my heart. I hesitate to intervene because I have failed to find Beau, despite all that I have done, but sometimes I just have to try to help. Even today, almost 8 1/2 years later, when I think of that afternoon when I arrived home from work to find Beau gone from the verandah, the same terrible feelings come flooding back to me. I agree with you .. I would much rather Beau had died this day. At least then I would have known what had happened to him and that no human could hurt him. I sincerely hope with all my heart that Asti is found today. I will feel so happy too to read this good news.xxxxx

Dear Karen, I was so upset the other day when I read about Asti I thought she was your dog. I live in another country so I do not know the area where Asti was last seen. Are there large areas of bushland? Even if there is, I believe Setters are intelligent dogs and they naturally seek out human company. I believe it would be highly unlikely any Setter would take off and get lost in the bush. Despite their initial fear their instincts to get back home would quickly set in. If Asti was running around the streets as a stray, someone would have seen her. Because Setters like their comfort I believe they would not last long as a stray. If Asta had been hit by a car, someone would have witnessed this. It depends on how far Asti ran or maybe she did not run far at all. Someone in a car might have seen her, put her in the back of the car, and driven off. These people might live quite a distance away, they may not. Asti may still be close to home. I assume the owners have door-knocked in the area where Asti was last seen. Asti's owners know her better than anyone. They need to trust their instincts but I know this is hard because of the trauma. I will keep praying.

Hi Karen was Asti ever found i so hope he was . Meet a couple in the park with on of your wee pups Alfi he was beautiful Sophie and him had a great time playing

Thats what i thought that you only had one boy they said they got it in Armagh i'm so sorry to hear Asti is still missing don't know what i whould do if it was any of my two Sophie ran of on me in the park the other day took me half an hour to get her back and that was bad enough all the best Martina  

Hi Karen, did actually put up some photo's yesterday, was all pleased with myself for figuring out how!!!!  now half to work out how to update profile!!!!!

Hi Karen! Yes! The past two nights she has been an angel!! Didn't make a noise from when i put her down about 10pm until 6.30am!! And tonight was the first night she didn't do a Houdini on me and escape from the garage into the house when I was turning the light out! hehe Tonight she stayed in her kennel eating her milky bones while I walked out! She must be exhausted today because we ran round the garden all afternoon and she was playing away with her toys in the house for over an hour before she crashed out!!

was scared not to, lol!!!!  Penny has grown another 3" today, Stephen even noticed when he came home from work, and said like seriously is that the same dog I left this morning!!

Thanks Karen! I was trying to take a picture of her and she kept pulling the scarf from round my neck! She managed to stop biting it long enough for me to get a picture!! I am enjoying her anyway whether she sleeps at night or not! She whined a bit about 5.30 this morning but I think that's because she had a big lunch and big dinner yesterday and wouldn't eat much supper so by the time this morning came she was hungry! How's Tia and Barney doing? Are there still two girls left now?

Thank you for your card Karen! It was lovely!  Hope you have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi Karen they are great thank you Sophie is such a sweetie just loves to run and run it's hard to believe she will be a year old soon . How are all your ones doing I'm sure the young ones are getting big hope to see some photos soon all the best Martina and girls 

Hi Karen, Yes, we were delighted! He is beginning to show his potential! David

Hi Karen thank you I am really proud of my two girls and of the way they have become so close Sophie has such a kind nature

Thanks Karen but I am afraid you were not informed accurately!!! It was the evening, the light wasn't good, people were tired and too polite  :-)  ask a real handler and you will have the right perspective  :-)  Alison did really well and little Rosy was a cracker  :-)

Karen I am notorious for not recognising people, forgetting names, etc.. but I must say I even surprise myself this time ... not recognising one of my boy!!!!  and no drink these days, I have a cold so tea total .... may be that was the reason!!!  :-) still cannot believe it :-(

Hi Karen,

Thank you for the Birthday wishes! Sure every day is a holiday for a man!

David

The most Happiest Birthday to you lovely Karen!!!  have a terrific celebration and get spoiled spoiled and spoiled  :-) Your Reds will know how to do it :-)

Happy Birthday Karen hope you have a lovely day
