They're all so cute. We have had Fergus, the Boston, and now have Sammie, a Jack Russell, and would have had an English Setter if I could have found one. Instead, I bought Katie, a field type Irish Setter. Your setters are beautiful. Nancy

Instead, I bought Katie, a field type Irish Setter. Your setters are beautiful. Thanks, I think so, but I'm biased. Both of the setters were throwaway - no clue who owned them previously. Someone found the JRT, and advertised for her, but no one ever claimed her. And I just told the story of the pug puppy. The Boston was the last puppy we had, and may be the last dog we'll ever buy. It's hard to tell by looking at this crew that they are all variations of rescues. The husband, btw, is a one-owner model, never thrown away. I've paid dearly for him over the past 32 years, but he's been worth it. He was a mere 20 years old when I married the young pup.

Re: [IceHorses] More o/t - Family Portrait
Oh gosh- I got mine at 19. They train better when started young, I believe. Our Sammie (JRT) is a rescue and so is Bud, the 2 year old chocolate lab. I was driving up a dirt road by myself to get to a trailhead I wanted to clean on foot and came across this big lab puppy lying in the road. He followed to where I was going to park, stayed with me while I cleaned trail and drank water out of my cupped hands when I returned to my van. I called Bruce and said, I've found a big puppy ... He started to say no, but when I mentioned it was about a year old chocolate lab, he agreed that Bud should come on home. We had lost two almost 16 year old black labs in the previous months. Bud had worn a coller - we could see the marks - but he was not wearing it that day. We advertised in two newspapers, on two radio stations, called two county animal control, posted signs and had out vet check for tattoo and/or microchip. There was nothing and no one responded. This very nice and very needy young dog had been dumped on the road on the opening day of upland bird season. It still makes me angry. We love him so much that the next year I purchased Hank, another chocolate lab for myself. Bud is Bruce's pal. Nancy

Hi Karen, The husband, btw, is a one-owner model, never thrown away. I've paid dearly for him over the past 32 years, but he's been worth it. He was a mere 20 years old when I married the young pup. Cary is definitely a keeper, mine too. And we just celebrated 32 years as well. Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com
