It all began with her, this love of setter girls. It was time to get another dog. Ours were getting older, and we wanted a dog with energy. We found Ruby online from a family breeder in Oregon, who was great to work with. She is a Golden Irish—not a full Irish setter. Ruby’s half Irish Setter and half Golden Retriever (although she looks almost all setter), and she’s a beauty. She has “an enthusiasm unknown to mankind!” She’s over a year old now, and I cant imagine our family without her. She keeps us on our toes and can run like the wind. She’s feisty, and loves to play tirelessly with any dog that comes her way.

AKA “Gingersnap,” “Ms. Snap,” or “Little Girlfriend”. She’s 5 1/2 months old and getting cuter by the day. We flew to Oklahoma to pick her up in February from some wonderful people at Heartland Irish Setters. They went out of their way to meet us and get her home safely. Ginger is super sweet, but can also be quite a stinker! She can open our lever door handles and jump the gate already. Sometimes we find her in the laundry room eating her food right out of the bag! She has become a great companion for Ruby, and a wonderful snuggle for her humans!

We call him “the Woof,” or “Sunshine”. He’s the old man of the bunch. A ten-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog that is my Bestie. He’s slowing down a bit lately, being that he’s nearing the end of his lifespan. But, he still loves to go for walks in the woods and bark at anyone who enters the house. He’s the best-natured dog I have ever owned and has transitioned into 4 different houses with us. I’ve got his back and he has mine. I just wuv him!

We’re still getting know her since she’s not even 10 weeks old, and we picked her up just 2 days ago. What I do know about her is that she looovves to snuggle, likes playing with the”big” doggies from time to time, and can sleep through the night!

Bentley, better know as Juice Box, was an awesome member of our family for 12 years. A tri-colored Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, he loved prancing down our trails and staying over at Nana’s. He was loved by all that knew him—always happy and friendly. He was the Jobsite Superintentdent at the homes and flip houses we would work on. Everyone on the site knew Bentley. He’d greet all the workers and put everyone in a good mood!
