Kirby's First Hair Cut (At the Irish Setter Club of Ohio Specialty on July 13th, 2002)

Oh my God, there's a noose around my neck. They're going to hang me and no one even cares!!

No, no, no, no - those clipper things are even WORSE than hanging :-0

JUSTICE !! Littermate Rogan gets his 1st haircut too :-)

For the 6th year in a row I was invited to participate in the Cleveland Irish Cultural Festival's "Dogs Native to Ireland" exhibit. Instead of taking Lucy I decided it was high time Kirby learned what it was like to get the fur petted right off him :-0

Holy crap,
I don't know what you are ...

but I bow to your bigness
(and put my tail right between my little puppy legs)

WAY too sexy

It takes a REAL man to do this!

Kirby's Pedigree

My thanks to breeders Kirsten Wilson (Touchstone Irish Setters) and Sue Musil (Lunn's Irish Setters) for arranging a match made in heaven (Chandler and Robin :-) and a second, very big thank you to Sue Musil for letting me bring this very special boy home. Though I'll miss his Aunt Gracie every day for the rest of my life, Kirby has managed to find his own special place in my heart.
I think Gracie would be pleased.
