Thankyou Eileen, so much for your kind comments on my Irish girl Tess. She has just turned 11yrs. & is just the most beautiful girl. She is my shadow & I love her to bits.
Grace, my puppy, is now almost 14 months old. A real scallywag but both girls are great friends so I feel very fortunate. It took awhile, but we got there.
I wish I could help you with Lucas & Molly but I'm sure it will all be fine. Tess really didn't like or want Grace at all but when she eventually realised that Grace was not going anywhere, I think she decided to stop carrying-on & got on with it. It did take awhile, probably many months, but slowly I could see a change in Tess. She was beginning to accept Grace, but I have always made sure that Tess has her quiet time away from puppy Grace & also still have her special 'Tess & me' time. They do get along really well now but still, when Tess is tired or has had enough, she will tell Grace off & Grace will know she's not interested. I still separate them at times (after 12 months together) as Grace can still be a bit too much for Tess. She's such a happy little girl & wants to play & doesn't realise that Tess is too old or just doesn't want to play. I really feel that it's so important for Tess to get her rest & not to be bothered.
I have no magical potions; wish I did. We have had Grace now for just over 12 months. Love her to bits. I'm so thankful that Tess loves her too (or I think she does (lol)). It did take time & much longer than I thought but we got there & so will you. An Irish & an English Setter are perfect together. Oh, & Molly has certainly grown into a beautiful young Irish girl.
Lynn & girls.
As to how long it took for them to become friends; well it's hard to say. It was very gradual, over many months.
Aww wow that sounds idyllic..how beautiful!. We are hoping to move somewhere early next year that has some lovely walks fingers crossed all goes to plan and thankyou. Bailey is blushing!..lol.
Thanks for the friend request, delighted to be added to your list.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas

I was just heading off to bed Eileen and remembered I hadn't accepted your friends request...I an so sorry. I knew if I didn't do it now I would forget with the silly season on us! Have a lovely Christmas with family and your furbabies. I look forward to sharing many a furkid story. Take care Dianne and Irish x
dear Eileen why does he irish setter have that white plastic over the mouth? is she a barker or a biter.I live in the usa and would like for you to be my irish setter friend.
Hi Eileen, nice profile photo wih all the dogs, hope you are all well, Finlay is bringing me his toys to get me to go outside and play with him, take care Ellen (",)
We are all fine! It's great to hear from you and I'm so happy to know that Finlay continues to do so well! I also like that photo ... it's not so easy to get the four of the to pose ... ;-) Lots of greetings to you, dear Ellen!
Hi Eileen, how are you? And how are the dogs? Finlay has had his food and gone upstairs for a sleep on my bed, they say it's a dogs life, wish mine was like his, walking, eating and sleeping (",) I'm just having a sit down for 10 minutes before I go out to work again. Take care Ellen x
Hi Eileen
How old is Kiera? I think sometimes when there young some setter do look skinny, Finlay was all legs and skinny body for quite a while, but think boys are bigger built then girls, im lucky as Finlay is not a fussy eater he will eat anything. Nice to hear from you. Take care, Ellen & Finlay xxx
Hi Eileen
Hope you find out what is giving her the rash must be itchy for her. My daughters golden retriever sometimes has a few days where she doesn't want to eat when they moved house she wouldn't eat unless I hand fed her. As I said its very rare for Finlay not to eat but he can always be tempted with some nice cooked chicken, they are a worry at times. Finlay will be 6 in December cant belive he's 6 already. He has just come in licking his lips guess he hasfinnished his breakfast . hope Kiera is better soon. Take care sending hugs to all the dogs. Take care Ellen and Finlay xxx
