    I don't own an irish setter, but I own an American Brittany, that is closest related to an english Setter.

    That said, regardless of what kind of dog she was, I send out my condolences.

    My Lab int he avatar is 12, and as spry as he is still, I don't want to think about him not being with us.

    We lost our 14+ year old bernese/ lab mix like 2 Easters ago, and it still hurts to think about it.

    sorry to hear jay. icant even imagine what it feels like to let a dog go. after all most of us feel like they are part of the family. stay strong brother. get another if you can, it'll help ease the pain

    Oh I'm so sorry for your loss. I know I can't say anything to make the pain better, but I am truly sorry. You made the right choice about putting her down, even though it's one of the hardest decisions. I put down my 18 year old cat last year (totally unexpected), and it was really weird at first with him not being around...but you get used to it, the pain eases, and then you just remember the good times. Sorry again.
