Hi, my name is SHERLOCK and I just turned eleven months old. I'm just a typical goofy redhead the size of a horse! No kidding - I'm not done growing, and am already thirty inches at the shoulders!!
I get along well with other dogs. I've not met any cats yet, but as jumpy as I am when something makes a noise, perhaps a home with no cats knocking stuff off of shelves and counters would be best. I guess the same would go for active kids, too.
I really love Mommies, but am kinda scared of Daddies. I am learning that Daddies can be good friends, too, but it will take a while for me, being so skittish and all.
I bark at Daddy when he comes home from work, and when he makes getting-ready-for-work noises in the morning. I'm not aggressive, though. In fact, I'm a big scaredy-dog.
I don't like being crated, but am pretty good in the house. Being a food hound, nothing is safe on the counters or table, so don't tempt me with that kind of thing.
I like keeping Mommy warm at night, and I cuddle up real close. We share her pillow sometimes, and other times I use her arm as a pillow. I just have to be touching her, so I will know if she tries to sneak off while I'm sleeping. It works very well, cuz she hasn't disappeared on me yet!
I really don't know why I was named SHERLOCK. Everyone knows that male Irish Setters' brains don't arrive until they turn four years old. Mommy says the name still fits, though. After all, it's "elementary". I have no clue what she means by that... Oh, well. The important thing is that she loves me and gives me lots of attention!!
