My first Irish Setter, Penny, came to me via the dog warden in 1987. My boyfriend owned an Irish Setter and thought that I could care for Penny over the Easter holiday until the dog pound could take her. She had been straying for some time and was a very sorry little girl - she never made it to the pound but stayed with me for 10 years. I loved her and when the opportunity came to have a dog in 2001 it was no contest, it had to be an Irish Setter. Jim Parker and I own eight year old Ruby, Lucy 5 and Georgie 2 and a half. Georgie is a reluctant show girl but we make it up to her with long walks in the woods and the beach and holidays in the Lakes and Scotland.
Thank you for that Maggie, I have contacted IFAW they are people that go into war zones and rescue animals, but they can't even get into Libya they can't take the risk at the moment because the situation is so very volitile...when it calms a little they will get in contact with people out there, but I will try what you suggested. I will try anything...
Thank you for your thoughts and comments...Dee and the gang
Thank you again Maggie, It is nice that there are so many that would do the same...I just wish it hadn't happened in the first place...poor wee sole didn't ask to go there, I will still try and keep in touch with the vet, even if the owners think that I am an interfering old cow...but hey we have to be responsible or we become puppy farmers...only my thoughts.....Thank you so much again Dee and the gang
Hi there Maggie thanks for the congratulations on Fins win. I am sure that he will keep it up during the years to come...he is such a clever boy...I will come to earth eventually.. thanks again. Dee and the gang
I have had both my knees "done" managed to get away with part replacements. It is now 9 weeks since my op and I am getting on fine. Hospital let me out 5 days later because of good progress made. I was discharged earlyfrom specialist until September better still was dicharged from physioterrorist early too.
I am driving, doing most things but I am not back to "normal" as such I seem to have one pace, slow.
Dont feel I can show the dogs just yet maybe towards the back end of the year.They are fine. I see or speak toShiela and Neil Selman on a regular basis, might have a lift to a show to watch some time
Hi Maggie thankyou for your nice comments we love our dogs enormously the affies are a fairly recent addition my wife has always wanted them we have always had IS. I need to get another one to even up the numbers the irish are my true love they are heart melting
Hi there Maggie.. thanks for the birthday greeting for the 'boy' and yes I agree so very much about Lana she is beautiful...would give my right arme to have her back....but she like most of them..... is loved to bits...by all her mummies and her daddy...As for the delectable Fin well he is the best thing since sliced bread...most of the time...ha ha
Thanks Maggie for your comment it would be fun having Azif in an open top car he need to be tied in or he'd be out at the first sight of another dog/cat/bird anything he could chase really
Thanks Maggie, for your lovely comment on Clancy's Title blog. We are very happy. He is such a character and we love him to bits! Hope all is well for you and your redheads! cheers, Cheryl

Thank you for your kind comment, Maggie. I am relieved for Glen as he sired two litters recently and now at least we can be sure none of his pups will be affected.

Maggie thanks but I had a lots of help and a very willing Murphy who it seems can overcome so much. He really is a joy to love and I am very lucky he is so well. On thursday he has his first session with the physio and will likely have some sessions on the under water treadmill this will undo the extreme side effects of the steroids that caused the muscle wastage. He is looking great just needs a bit of help to get fit again.
Hi Maggie thanks for your comment , yep they take ages to leave the pouch at times they're so big poor mum is nearly dragging herself around and quite amazing to see such a large creature crawl into what seems an impossible fit
hi maggie i would have been much better dressed had it not been for the weather had to remove the wellies to go in ring it was a nightmare wind rain and mud not condusive to great attire haha thanx for your comments and see you soon xxx
Thanks for your nice words about my Bajka. She has been my first setter and so fantastic girl! It sometimes happen - if we don't plan, don't know to much, don't expect to much - we got a treasure. She was a treasure for sure:-)
