Bit of ratting with an added bonus


Recommended Posts

Me and herdwick took the terriers ratting on a flight pond. We had a fair bit of sport although the rats were bolting straight into the water and it took a while for us to work it out. Once we started watching the water too we had a few, a couple Ollie caught in the water or I got with the catty and a couple the other dogs caught as they bolted on dry land. The owner asked me to get one of the drakes of the pond too, which was a bonus! Catapults are very handy things!

 

The only downer on the day was an early finish due to one of the best terriers having a near collapse due to the work, the cold and the swimming. She was ok in the end though after a bit of TLC and some lucozade.

nice mate look like yous had a good day :clapper:

 

Yeah, it was good.

 

I also forgot to mention, the terriers flushed a mink from a huge bonfire heap next to the flight pond. They lost it into cover very quickly but at least the owner now knows its there so he can get a trap or two out.

 

Thanks to herdwick and his cousin for the invite :thumbs:

Trilby is back to her old self again.

She put so much into chasing those ducks up and down and she hasnt got a lot of fat reserves to fall back on but after a good rub down, some grub and a blanket in front of the fire she is back to normal.

 

Glad shes ok, she had us all a bit worried for a while there!
