Love all your dogs. You have your hands full with them all.
Just curious, whereabouts in Ireland to you live? My mother's relatives came from Ireland (County Antrim for one), and Dad has always said this his mother's people were from there although I have not yet been able to trace it.
I have one sable girl about 9-1/2 months old. I lost my Blue merle last November very suddenly and got Emma to fill the gap in our lives, just like I got Noah to fill the gap my Sheltie Hamish left in 2000.
