Regan and her papa Stetson

Papa Stetson showing his "Mom" some love.
Regan isn't so sure she's in to Dad's "advances" !
Regan being completely indignant about being chained to a horse trailer!

We drove over to Solon Springs, Wisconsin this morning for a short visit with friends at the North Country Gordon Setter Club Field Trial. Regan's sire "Stetson" was entered, and she and papa were able to get reacquainted again.

Still Smiling!

This past February, our boy Logan (SureShot Moonsetter Go the Distance) went up to Canada to live with Herb and Laurie Foster in Alberta. It wasn't easy saying goodbye, but we knew great things were in store for this special guy, and the Foster's haven't disappointed him. Finding life at their place a great way to chill, Laurie sent this picture of Logan "hanging out" in the garden (which we've heard he tends to like digging up!) It was great to hear Loggie is thriving, and Laurie reported that he's "put on some weight, and is growing more coat." Yay for Logan! It's nice to see, that even though we miss him very much, even in his new home... he's still smiling :-)

Moonsetter Girl Wins Specialty BOS

Olivia & Aisling in the ring
This past weekend we attended the Missouri Valley Gordon Setter Club Specialty down in Des Moines, Iowa. To our surprise and elation, our girl Aisling (Ch. Moonsetter Balwyn SureShot) won the honors of Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed!! We were so excited, albeit a bit stunned, when the judge gave her the nod. Congratulations to Ashie's owner, our daughter Olivia, on her girl's wonderful achievement :-)
