When are we going to see a photo of your lovely "Willow"?? I love puppies, I have a nearly 5mth male, "Timmy".

I could watch puppies forever. The only thing that makes it alright that they won't stay puppies forever, is that they grow into best dogs ever, Irish setters! Yes She sounds like Timmy - taking it all in, and determined to catch those flies!!

Plus my children have a den underneath it, so I'm sure that there are lots of "treats" lying around there too!

Poor Timmy is known as "Frankenstein" by almost everyone except me. What can I say? He is a big clutzy boy, who does not fully realise that ALL his legs are connected to the same body. He's adorable : ) Have you had dogs before?

Know what you mean by nicknames sticking - everyone calls her Willow now. I love the way she runs, catches a glimpse of something and tries to stop but her legs keep on going!! She is So mischievous! she Loves pulling a sock off my youngest to get her to play with her! if she still wont play with her she'll make a go for the other foot then run off dangling the socks as "Bait"!!! :)

I glad you added more photos... now I have a better idea of what she really looks like!
I see you live in Wales... I've never been, but it must be somewhat similar land to Ireland. I can just picture a setter running there through the fields - hey! you probably know that song "Aberganvenny" that I just discovered because of this site!! Joan

Myyoungest just started playgroup! my eldest has what seems "hundred" of after school activities and Willow had an incident chasing a squirrel! we were on the fields doing recall training when she spotted a squirrel and decided that was infinetly more interesting than doing any training with me and went! followed the squirrel into some bushes and when I pulled her out she had a huge thorn in her nose!!
