kernow oli 28 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Real good read mate, I've been on here a couple of years now and a great post like this comes up only a couple of times! It is hard when you lose them, I've had a couple go whole doing what they were bred for! And I was also close to saying f@&k it!! But seeing the old face of one of your other workers keeps you going. When you lost the nigger dog, we're you using the old Deben, and do you think you might of found him if the bellman was about?? They do save more terriers lives now a days IMO!! Good luck on Sunday too?! YIS Oli Quote Link to post
Toka 10 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Great post there Elisderyn!!! ...good luck with it from now on!! atb Quote Link to post
jawn 449 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Outstanding read! I've lost three this year. One was the best I have ever owned. She was nine, and died doing what she loved most. As happy as I was to see her go out that way, I can't help wishing she were still here. Again great read mister.

welshhound2 20 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Thanks lads. the dog "nigger" was the best dog I have seen. I remember driving down west with him to clear some ground for a farmer & anyone who knows the craic knows digging on your own is never a good idea but the dog was the type that made things so easy , He'd bay & push & then just before you got to him he take charge & basically put the quarry on a plate for you to deal with , To lads who know terriers you will know what I mean & he really was as perfect a digging dog as you could get.....he was owned by my mate & I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but we really should have called it a day & never put him in such a bad looking place on the day we lost him, To be fair my mate N who was there was against it from the start & we really should have listened....... The irony is if he wasnt up to his job he would never have pushed on & on to get to his game & we would probably have him now , There are old dogs & there are bold dogs but not many Old Bold dogs........ "Nigger"...........RIP & good hunting where youve gone. After a 2 1/2 Drive I was done & dusted having cleared two pests with no fuss thanks to the old fella below. Here he is after having a breather , Just after I shared my grub with him & we sat in the field watching 3 red kites for ages...........A good memory Packing up to go home........Days like this are as good as it gets.......The other terriers were 2 young bitches I had taken along for a look.You can tell by the time on the pics that we were done & dusted before the anti's were out of f*****g bed.... good write up again mate,all the best good right up l that picture of nigger brings back some memories hell of a dog..

elisderyn 496 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Well I went out yesterday morning , Only local just to get back into it & was as simple as this game gets...!!! A drive to a likely holding spot and with lambing on the horizon we were hoping your man was at home...Within minutes of my mates excellent old dog going in he was baying nicely & with every confidence in the terrier we relaxed & waited for him to settle down , It didnt sound like he right up to it to be honest so things must have been tight but he slowly pushed on until things settled at one spot. I wish I could tart the story up but it was 2ft into a tight tube & we were done & dusted in no time.............It was still early so we then visited a few local farms just to show face & had a good walk checking places out ready for the next few months. It was great just to be out again & I well & truly realised just how much I have missed it. The down side is my crap fitness & body are paying for it today , I'm like Stephen f*****g Hawking sat here typing this............... Roll on next week..... 1 Quote Link to post
