Introducing Gypsy's babies!

My sweet English Setter, Gypsy (Smart Gypsy Lady), gave birth to these precious pups (a boy, at left, and two girls) on September 11. They are now 9 weeks old. One will be going to relatives in Indiana, one will be staying with me and Gypsy here in Lexington, Massachusetts, and I am hoping to place the third pup with someone who lives closer to home so it can remain in contact with Gypsy and its sibling. These precious pups are English Setters from the Llewellin bloodline. My beloved dog Lady, whose passed away in 2018, is the great, great aunt of these pups, and they also are cousins of Lady's son, my beloved Sampson, who passed away last year on December 24. Their ancestry tracks back to champion dogs Grouse Ridge Will, Grouse Ridge Sampson and Grouse Ridge Gypsy. Send me a message ASAP if you are interested in adoption or know someone that might be interested, and I will send you the pedigrees.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to Sampson!🙏🙏🙏

A little more than 4 months have passed since Sampson (Smart Lady's Singleton Sam) crossed over the Rainbow Bridge on December 24, 2024, and I want to say a very belated "thank you" to all our Facebook friends for your outpouring of prayers and warm sentiments for my beloved boy on this day, April 30, which would have been his 15th birthday. I feel truly honored to have had this fine representative of the English Setter breed in my life for 14 years and 8 months. At home, he was a gentleman who had endless affection for people and other dogs, and, in the fields, he was a fierce, focused bird dog. Those who have read my books know this dichotomy has been a special trait of the dogs in his ancestral bloodline, and Sampson proudly carried it on. Gypsy, his soulmate, and I are still trying to adjust to life without him, because he has left such a deep paw print on our hearts. For me, Sampson's passing was like losing three dogs. His paternal great-aunt was my beloved Samantha, who passed in 2008, and was the impetus for The Hunt of Her Life book series . And many of you knew his precious mother, Lady, who passed in 2018 after living nearly two years with a heart pacemaker. Sampson kept their spirits alive in this world. Each time I gazed at him, I saw a part of Samantha and Lady come to life. He physically looked like them, pointed at birds in the same slow methodical manner, and played the same kind of keep-away games with his toys. His loss for me is deep, but it pales in comparison to the void felt by his soulmate, sweet Gypsy. She understands that the love of her life has passed, but she continues to sleep in his spot, whine for him at times and look for any sign that he might somehow miraculously return. Long walks every day in fields filled with birds have been the best medicine for her. Spoiling her with her favorite food, freshly cooked turkey breast with broth, has also helped. But despite the emotional challenges of this transition period, I am thankful to God for blessing us with Sampson's against-all-odds birth on April 30, 2010, and giving us all those wonderful years with him.
