I am retired and my wife and I now have two setters after adding another with one of Mr Jingles' puppies.
We have three cats.
I enjoy music and art and ,of course,animals.
We have two grown up and left home children and two grand dauughers.
Hi Howard
welcome to the site. I think it is a lovely one, all like minded people. I am hoping to get a puppy next year, I have a setter already called Mia. Can't wait. x
Congratulations on adopting your new puppy, Arthur. My Henry will be Arthur's step brother also a Mr Jingles puppy, now 14 months old. I feel so blessed to have my beautiful boy, Mostly, very well behaved and very very loving. I wish you a long and happy life together.
Hi there Howard
Thank you for you kind thoughts on my Jasmine, and I am so pleased to hear about your friends wee dog, I see you too have a Jingles baby, I have one here, he is a lovely dog but his mother is a bit of a live wire, and so is he, good luck with yours, I am sure that with a Thendara mother yours will be calmer...will you be showing Arthur???
Thanks again for your comment and for your thoughts, Dee and the gang
Hi there Howard
These Jingle babies are definitely head strong, I think that mine is part Kangaroo he spends more time on his hind legs than all four, do try and get some shows, if you go to a ringcraft class then you may well meet someone that you could travel to shows with, up here we tend to double up, but we don't handle each others dogs, just in case we have to judge...
And as far as Fred is concerned, he just had Irish way of looking at the world, (I am part Irish, so can say this) he just loves life and that is all that counts.
Thanks for the thoughts on Jas, she seems to be doing well at the moment, so fingers crossed.

Thank you Howard for you comment, I agree so much with you, I am going to update the blog and hope that someone will let me know if I have forgotten something....Thanks again for your thoughts, Dee and the gang
Hi Howard, my pleasure! Hope you are well. The Golden in the car is not mine, it is one of the dogs of my best friend, but whenever it is possible we make nice walks together! Have a nice day!
Thank you for that Howard, it is difficult knowing where to draw the line. but this made me call all the owners of the rest of the puppies, what lovely people they are, I was so lucky with them, I suppose we should be happy that she is safe and sound...I thought it really nice of the vet to contact me back...very considerate, they are lucky to have found such a nice place for her...and I hope that she has a wonderful life...Dee and the gang
Hi Howard ! Many thanks for your well wishes for Legolas :) Keeping him 'quiet' will be tough but I'll just have to try my best...pretty sure he's going to be soooo bored , we'll probably driven each other crazy :)
I've been catching up with the discussions today and was so sorry to read about Maggie. if you let me know her registered name I will add her to the site.
Still looking for George, but haven't come across him yet
I found Bobbi's record and she is down as being born on 3rd September 1991 not 6/12/91, so I kept on checking and she is definitely the same bitch as she was transferred into your name.
If you can't do this, then e-mail me and let me know and I'll give you my postal address. If you have to post it, then sens it recorded delivery and I'll send it back by return once I've scanned it in.
Hi Howard i use a canny coller on shannon and it is great i only use it on her if im takeing
her some were that there is going to a lot of people around as she gets abit nervous the canny coller goes to the back of the head so you have more controll hope this helps
Happy Birthday old friend. Do you want Bridget Bardot this year again, or shall i send you another siren? I have to be careful with you at your age you know! Don't fret about ES, we will make everything alright. Best wishes.

Hello Howard,
I've just read about Ellie and can understand how worried you are. I hope it is not as bad as feared and that the vet will find a way to help her.
Wishing you all the best
