salclalin 240 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 My old Lurcher Bitch Loves to Go Ratting.I was Ratting with A few mates A few years ago up my Allotments but i had to leave Early,so i left my Mates to carry on.I took my old Bitch home with me,About half a Mile from the Allotments i Left the Bitch off Her lead.She ran Straight Back to The Allotments when i got Back up there She was Ratting with my Mates.Nobody left her in so she Must have Jumped the 6ft Fence to get in.I've got to have a Go at the Rats up there again as they are in Plague Proportions Again.Red Dog was feeding the Ducks the other day and where he Fed the Ducks all he Saw was a Carpet of Rats. My old Lurcher bitch is 26 inches tall and for a big Bitch is incredibly Agile. Quote Link to post
