Thank you for your kind comment, Anna. I think I enjoyed my trip just as much as Glen did:-)))

best regards

Susan

Thanks, Anna! It was not part of our long North-South tour - just to get reday again - but I hope we'lll get back on that one soon - I still have one blog waiting from last year ... all the best, C & J xxx

Thanks, Anna! We hope to travel a bit this year as well, but maybe it's more hiking - now that Joy is four, we have a few years where hiking hours do not matter at all! All the best, C & J xxx

merci beaucoup Anna ...

Thanks, Anna! I would not like to travel with any other breed than a Setter or some other hunting dog - they are tail-wagging and friendly towards strangers. All the best, C & J xxx

Dear Anna I hope you are right it's never easy when we have to say good bye but I hope you get some comfort on knowing you gave Bajka a wonderful and loving life.

Take care Martina

.

Thanks Anna, as soon as you get a setter they have your heart, Finlay is keeping well at moment, every day is a extra day, they told me in december he had only 6weeks, but it's been over 6months i pray for a miracle

Thankyou Anna for your very kind comments on my girls.   They are getting along great after a shaky start.  We lost our gorgeous English girl in October 2010 & her & Tess were babies together & the best friends ever.  Couldn't even think of another pup for quite a long time & when we finally thought everyone was ready, I couldn't have been more wrong.  Tess was not happy & didn't want or like her new baby sister.  Thankfully, with a little time, all has worked out & like the gorgeous girl Tess is, she has taken Grace under her wing & I really feel that she loves her now.  Grace is a real sweetheart & adores Tess & will listen to her & will be guided by her.  They are now friends.

Again, thankyou.  xx

Thank you Anna....and it stop raining and is a lovely warm sunny day...

Dear Anna,

You took lovely and beautiful photos ! Your Irish setters are really splendid !

thank you for your nice comment.

Thank you Anna, for all your nice comments! But no, no special editing for the blog photos :-) - they are mostly out of the box (camera): All are cropped a bit; some are brightend up slightly and one is denoised (the second to last). Oh and some are sharpened a bit. Have a nice week, C & J xxx

Hi Anna¡, yes, Lalín is a village of Pontevedra, Galicia (Spain). The land of the pig¡, it´s famous for its main course, "cocido" where the pig meat is the principal ingredient, with vegetables, legumes....Its a funny trophy¡¡

Thank you,Anna for the nice comment!

I always enjoy cruising through your page and photos!

Thanks for the Birthday Wishes Anna;o))

Thank's Anna for your comment about Glen Junior.

Thank you, Anna! I will show some orchids - I have been photographing orchids all Spring and Summer! We even found the Golden Ladyslipper, that's the very rare colour variation where the leaves on top and side are yellow-greenish too, instead of dark red. I'm alread looking foreward to next year in search of other species, I did not yet see. All the best, C & J xxx

We also like to go to botanical gardens - but very often dogs are not allowed :-(. So I got a book with 'flower hikes'; they show nice hikes to rare but still wild species; and tell the best time to go - so Joy has a nice hike first and can have a snooze underneath a tree later, while we take photos. So all "my" flowers are a real nature document :-). In our garden at home, I have bushes from here and at the moment a winter feeding station - the birds like it!!

Thankyou Anna.  Appreciate your kind comments very much.  Grace has just had her 1st. birthday & is such a sweetheart.  This past year has gone so fast.  She has transformed from a silly pup into a lovely lady.  We are very happy to have her in our lives. 

Thank you Anna! Glad you liked my Owl! And thanks for the link as well - it is always helpful to have local information. For Norway, we got a book with bird places and hides all over the country (in English). It was very good to have this not only for the birds but as all the maps were included with the footpaths and the places, where to park the car, we had many wonderful walks with Joy in beautiful places, that we would have missed otherwise.

Thank you so much Anna for the birthday wishes you sent me! :-) Best wishes from Mexico, Eileen

Thank you Anna, Yes i did have a nice gift from the Boys a new hat which has a pewter setter attached to it. Apparently they said i must wear it to Crufts so that every one will know who i am. Bless em. I will post a picture later.

Dear Ania! Thank you so much for the Birthday wishes!!! Hope you and Kasia are well?!Love Barbara + Tiny xxx

thank you for the birthday wishes

Happy Birthday Ania!!

Hi Ania ! All the McBirdy clan wish a very happy b-day ! By the way , you can give some hugs to little Kasia !

happy birthday Anna

Hi Anna! I feed Tiny mainly chicken, turkey, beef and lamb. Raw and cooked with vegetables (carrots, celery, zucchini, fennel, ...) and a little millet or brown rice. Unfortunately she is too lazy to chew bones ;-) Have you tried to give Kasia raw meat?
Happy Easter to you and yours and hugs to Kasia. B+T xxx

Kasia loves raw meat. She is mainly on dry food but I give her chunks of raw beef and chicken. Beef tail  is a gourmet, there is a bone inside and quite a lot of meat around. She loves it. Sometimes she eats also a marrow bone. I bought 2 kilos of raw fresh herrings recently. It was rather for me to fry and marinate. Quess who ate it! 

I read about raw food and didn't find informations about vegetables. So I'm  a bit cautious. Now I can try to prepare for her whole meals with fresh meat and vegetables. Let's try:-)

Maybe I slowly change Kasia's diet for raw.

All the best:-0

Ania and Kasia

Dear Anna! I'm sure Kasia loved the raw herring :-) Have you also eaten one?
I also have read a lot about BARF. About vegetables, I just know that onion and garlic plants, Avocado and raw Solanaceae (eg tomato, potato) should not be fed.
The side of the Veterinary University of Zurich is interesting: http://www.vetpharm.uzh.ch/perldocs/index_x.htm

there is among other things a list of poisonous plants.

Have a nice day. Barbara + Tiny

Congratulation for all your nice pictures !

Hi Anna, thank you for my birthday wishes I had a lovely day thank you, Finlay had some of my birthday cake (",)

Hi Anna,

Great result for Kasia at CACIB Warzawa. Congratulations !

And very nice handling ! I hope all is very nice with Kasia. I like her very much.

Dziękuje za miłe komentarze :)

Dear Ania! Thank you for your lovely Birthday wishes!! No present from Tiny yesterday but she makes every day with her worth living for me. Hugs for you and Kasia. Barbara + Tiny xxx

Dear Ania! No licking my face, bringing my Slippers or preparing breakfast but yes she has taking me on a walk ;-) Kasia is certainly better educated :-) How are you and your lovely girl? B+T xxx

Hi Anna, Thank you for accepting. There are a lot of great pictures and information here! The site was a great find. When first considering getting an IS, I would come here and read the forum as a non-member. Making sure the IS was for me.

Hi Anna, Thank you for the comment. He's growing so fast!

Belated happy Birthday Ania! Hope you had a lovely day! B+T xxx

Thank you, Anna! Yes, I have not posted for a while. Two of Joy's B'days have passed without a photo. This is our first holiday though since my last Norway blog in 2012! And I have a few more photos :-). I hope you and Kasia are well. All the best, C & J xxx

It must have been two years with a lot of job!

You all deserved long holiday, as I remember once you have started a trip across your country, how is this plan?

PS Kasia is a very lucky girl, she even doesn't know how much! I have had a very bad experience lately with poor bernese I had found one day during our usual walk. He stayed with us four days. Poor dog has an awful owner who thinks he bought a dog similar to alsatian or caucasian sheepdog. Bernese keeps trying to escape from him. If I had known then what I know now, I wouldn't have given him back. He deserves better home.

Same to you, Anna: A Happy 2015! It is lovely to see those pups in the snow - what an experience for them! Have a great time, C & J xxx

YES, we should !
