This little man has landed on all four paws in his foster home as they have decided to adopt him….he is one lucky boy and we look forward to updates
Deirdre I don’t believe it
This is to the day of Jerry Lee’s adoption……unreal but fantastic… one very lucky boy.Another good looking boy.
I would say this boy is Retriever x Irish Setter.
I can see so much Setter in him it’s unreal and I have had Setters for a very long time.
Look forward to the updates.
Did you tell him that next year it will be his turn to get the photo with the Xmas hat.
We need to see an updated photo of George who is really adopting all these new brothersWell, here’s Sisco!
Monty picked him up from the pound and he had his head on Monty’s shoulder the whole way home. George and Gerry were beside themselves when he arrived and we introduced them one at a time to him – everything went swimmingly. Then we introduced him to the two cats Gilson & Geno. Great there too. Our Girls just fell in love with him straight away. Then he coughed & we discovered that he had kennel cough. The vet said not much could be done except to give him honey & Kathy told me about Childrens Benylin. His first 4-5 days were very bad with a really nasty productive cough & diarrhoea. Thank God, he has come on in leaps & bounds and is doing really well, still a bit of a cough but digestive system getting better. We have to keep him separate from the other two dogs & he is with us in whatever room we’re in. Unfortunately, Gerry is coughing now too but, its not anything compared to what Sisco’s was – he’s strong. George doesn’t seem to be affected so far – he had had kennel cough when he was in the the ISPCA centre in Longford – we were supposed to pick him up & the whole kennels had been shut down because of it, so we had to wait an extra two weeks – that was 4 1/2 years ago.Anyways, he is just the sweetest dog there is and he loves his toys that were his Christmas presents – or should I say LOVED as there are pieces everywhere!! We have stopped taking him outside the gate so that this doesn’t spread but, he adores playing fetch in the garden – he is super fast! He was painfully thin but, is filling out a little. I used to think that Gerry was thin but, he looks like a giant in comparison! He very loved, content and warm & it feels like he’s been here forever.
Thanks to Kathy for everthing!
And Marie, you’re right – its amazing that we adopted Gerry on the same day – Christmas Pooches! And he definitely has Red Setter in him!
I’ll post some photos – I’ll get better ones soon – I came down with the flu myself on Christmas Eve too.
A Happy New Year to Everyone at Dogs in Distress from All of Us xx
Deirdre
ps We got the CD – its fantastic – great job!!

Oh, Marie – I just cannot get George to let me take his photo – I always have to take it in a sneak attack – he has a phobia about cameras & whenever he sees me taking it out, runs a mile!!
Sisco’s nose is getting nice and cold & wet – it was so dry, it was almost cracked, poor guy….Sisco chewing another ball.jpgAnother good looking man in the house Deirdre ……how will you cope.
It is really meant to be when they come along and the transition is so easy…like it always was the same.You have to tell Gerry Lee he is also famous on our new DID stand.
The black and white photo of him and Geno are on one side of the stand.We will post a photo for you to see.Oh Marie, I’d just love to see it! My two little guys are famous, how wonderful!!
Well, Sisco is doing well – cough pretty much gone (just an occasional one every now & then) – Jerry has made it through as well & George didn’t catch it (touch wood!). We’ll be taking Sisco to the Vet for a complete & thorough check this week or early next week. I’ve read that Kennel Cough can still be transmitted, even after symptoms have subsided so, I really want to be extra careful that no other dog has to go through it (nasty thing)…. Anyways, he’s doing great – very happy & playful and coming on in leaps & bounds. Likes to bark at all the poor people & dogs going by, but when have we ever had a dog who doesn’t?! We haven’t renamed him as thought it might be too confusing, with all he’s gone through.. Its a good name for him anyway – we call him ‘the kid’ for short! OK, lets upload some photos – tried getting one of the three boys together last night but, George vanished – I think its the noise of the shutter that gets him – Oh, well…
Ready for my close-up!.jpg‘re so handsome!.jpgMe & my Master!.jpgHappy Christmas to everyone at DID!
Sisco has been with us for a year now and doesn’t he just make the cutest present under the tree! Gets on fabulously well with his two canine brothers and three feline ones! Very gentle boy who loves to run and run and run and jump over great spanses in a single leap!
Hope everyone has a beautiful Christmas and a wonderful year to come…
