    Hi Phil, I was just checking in on Susan & saw that you were also from South Africa. Welcome to our group. I'm sure you will love it here. I am from Melbourne Australia & have two Setter girls, one Irish & one English. We got them as baby puppies together and they are now 7yrs. The best of friends, & the light of my life. Your Arie looks a lovely boy.

    Again welcome,
    Lynn & girls in Oz.

    I think Christmas themed pics are a great idea. Maybe you should start a discussion, blog post or group on it???

    Hallo Phil,

    bedankt voor je berichtje. Zuid Afrikaans is voor Nederlanders goed te begrijpen. Ginger is niet gezond, maar er valt goed mee te leven.

    Ik heb net jouw foto's van Ari bekeken. Wat een leuke hond!

    Groet,

    Astrid.

    Good morning Phil,

    Wonderful photography!  Rhett and Ari obviously convinced that there is nothing better than WATER, it's such FUN STUFF!  After all you can swim in it, wade in it, paddle in it,drink it and best of all SPLASH IN IT!

    Have a wonderful weekend!

  • Bridget Simpson

    Hello Phil, I have been meaning to ask you whether you know anything about Rhett's history?  It is rare to find an Irish in the hands of one of the Animal Welfare Societies.

    As breeders now have to microchip all pups before KUSA Registration they can be traced back to their owner or breeder via the Kennel Union of Southern Africa data base and/or Identipet database. Please let you local AWS know that this is the case for their future reference.

    Have a good day!

    Glad to hear everything is alright, Phil. It's just that the way you posted the comment, it looked like you wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out. I had a bad feeling that something had happened to Rhett. Don't worry about ES. The community will prevail.

    Hi Phil, I noticed your status comment about Ari. We are sending you many hugs and prayers. 9 days after my beloved English Setter, Hammer died, my English Setter, Rose suffered her first brain seizure. I know your heartache. It is terrible. We understand. Susan and Hobson xxxx
