Gerry48 10 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Hi all went out today with Tus and his lad, four ferrets Tus's spaniel and my lurcher, tried a few holes in some gorse, lurcher got one and we missed one, moved on to a small wood netted up some holes, next thing heard the lurcher screaming in pain,thought she had stood on somthing sharp, Tus was the closes to the bitch shoted over to him what was up with her, he said a squirrel had bit her first time she had been bit, not a happy dog, the squirrel ran down a burrow Tus netted the holes and put a ferret in, squirrel bolted but got through the net and up a tree, then another squirrel bolted this time the net held it and the dogs had it this time the lurcher got her revenge, what have you bolted from rabbit holes.

Honestly, to this day we don't know how it got there or why it was there! Glad I wasn't alone or nobody would ever believe me. Quote Link to post
