In honor of St. Patrick's Day, this post will just be about my Irish Setters and Irish Setter Rescue.  See above links if you are interested in adopting an Irish Setter.  

Adopt-a-Setter deals with NJ, PA, CT, DE, based out of NJ. 

Pillsbury ambassador for Setter rescue.

Magnolia Setter Rescue deals with the Southeastern States, based out of FL.

My gentle giant, Irish Setter, Pillsbury. (Gone Feb 2011)

Ryley was named "telethon dog" because since we had him as a pup, he has always had major problems that were fixable$$$. It would take a telethon to pay for all his medical procedures. We did fix all his health issues and he recovered quickly and happier than ever, until his last bout with bone cancer. He passed Sept. 2011.

Below is just a sampling of his health issues...

As a pup, he had HOD Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy) He went lame at 4 months old. The HOD flared up and down for 3 months. Below is Scott helping him to walk so he can go potty.

Below is after Ryley's Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) & Correction of Angular Limb Deformity Surgery for a Ruptured Cranial Cruciate Ligament.

 Below is a lymph node taken out.  It was called a "reactive" lymph node. Filled up with puss and had to be drained. Non cancerous.

 Below, as a puppy, he also broke his leg.  He learned quickly to lift the cast and bang on the door to go outside.

And yes, we have to add Devin to this page. I hope someday, I'll feel as close to him as I did to Ryley & Pillsbury.
