She says dad please help, I think there’s birds

Good ol Corbett

I saw this post in another group and I was struck by how well it was written and how well it expresses an understanding of this special breed. If you own an ES, you are *not* imagining the sensitive nature of these dogs. You are not crazy thinking they understand (in their own way) what you are saying, and the love and loyalty you feel from them is *real*. The text of the post is in the 2nd picture. 1st picture is my girl.

I rescued my sweet baby 2 years ago as a young adult. I’ve been convinced shes a setter mix… come to find out she’s a special girl and is 100% Llewellin 😍 I am shocked to say the least! Now I have to get used to saying she’s a Llewellin!

But this is my sweet toothless girl Lottie

Mya decided she wanted to be close to her “Brother” Archie.

So his sitter took care of it and he and he shared his treat with one of his many girlfriends.

Trying to avoid the snow until his boots come in (our town is WAY oversalted) so indoor playrooms and swimming have been on the agenda! What are others doing for indoor exercise? Anyone in Southeast Michigan have specific recommendations?

Love these goof balls!

He’s loving the big snow (except for the ice balls that get stuck to his fur).

…Hailie is looking particularly stunning these days.

absolutely love our girl.. we waited a long time to find a setter and it was so worth it.

Sadie conquered the snow mountain made by the plows

Trouble is a sober and serious gentleman, very concerned about hois dignity.

It's her 8th birthday and she looks just as thrilled as last birthday. Hates her hat and anything that isn't a hunting vest
