Warnersister When I was very little, we had a red setter for a while. But it turned out that asking my mother to cope with a toddler and a red setter all day by herself was a bit harsh. Anyone who's had a red setter will know how lively they are! So he went back to the breeder from whom we bought him. I had a canary when I was younger; he used to sing to Formula 1 racing and Meat Loaf in particular smile My brother at that point had a hamster. After them, we didn't have pets. My parents work full time; my brother and I were at school all day, you couldn't really have a dog and leave it by itself all that time. And my dad hates cats. I'm not a fan of cats, but now I live by myself, I've been vaguely considering getting one (at least once I buy a house rather than a flat!). I'd like a cat that will show affection, rather than be stand-offish. A stand-offish cat would be no use to me at all - I'd want a lap cat, really smile I would absolutely love to have a dog, but the same problems apply - I work all day (plus right now I live in a flat). If I ever win the lottery, I will move to a bigger house and get a German Shepherd and maybe a mountain dog (possibly Caucasian) or a Newfoundland. DW
Oh yes, Irish Setters (or any Setter for that matter) are rambuncious dogs. I'm looking into getting a white German Shepard to stay with me in my apartment during college next semester. I hate to do that to any dog, but I need a companion that can actually protect me on my long walks in a fairly dangerouse city, and Germans are fairly inactive big dogs. I'd love to take one of my Gordons with me, but they just wouldn't be able to handle being cooped up.
And Newfoundlands are the sweetest dogs! Just make sure you live by water... They could live in an apartment, as long as you take them to somewhere they can swim weekly. They love to save 'drowning' people. (can you tell I used to train dogs?)

I have had multiple pets at various and overlapping times in my life. This list includes several dogs, cats, hamsters and multiple fish.
1) Dachshund (a wiener dog) named Link, 13 years. 2) Schnauzer (dog) named Gus, 16 years. 3) Calico (cat) named Tinker Belle, 18 years. 4) Two gray hamsters, brothers named Star and Comet, 5 and 7 years. 5) Cocker Spaniel/Poodle mix (dog) named Ginger, 15 years. 6) Lilac Tipped Siamese mix (cat) named Kyo, so far he's an estimated 8 years old and is still going strong. 7) an unknown number of assorted fish to include Gold fish, Tetra's and "algae eaters".
I've always had pets, and will continue to have them in my life for as long as I can! heart
