Had a 1/2 Irish, 1/2 golden retriever for 15 years, starting in 1987. When she died, we grieved for 6 months, then got a Gordon setter. We adopted Ruby, our Irish red and white setter 10 months after that. So I've had a setter of some kind almost contiuously for 23 years. We also have fostered many Irish setters over the last 6 or so years, helping them through the transition from unhappy situations to their perfect forever homes. It's heartbreaking to give them up, but we couldn't take any more if we adopted one, since we live in the city and 2 dogs with an occasional foster is about all we can handle.
About Me:
Have done some showing, but especially love setters as family members and companions. Former English teacher and editor, now working in public health.
