Lurcher Write Up?


Recommended Posts

Bored so I thought I'd do another haha.

I never had a ferret when I was younger but when I spotted a rabbit hole, which was few and far between. I would go back to the house and take my mums lapdog/ sausage dog under my arm. Twiggie would mark the whole by sticking her whole head down the whole and her shoulders aswell! I'd pull her back of the hole and drop fertie, the sausage dog. She would start to dig her way down the whole and everynow and then I'd pull her out and clear the way. If I had a spade then I dig a bit and put her back in. The warrens were only shallow and soon we'd come to a crouching rabbit or one would leap out a whole and Twiggie would wrap it up and bring it back. Never underestimate the prey drive in these so called lap dogs! Twiggies favourite thing to catch was definitely squirrels, when we opened the ban door to let the dogs out she would leave the house at a sprint and go straight to the front garden where there was often a squirrel or two. Sometimes she would catch them before they got to a tree and sometimes would miss them and sit underneath the tree watching, sometimes id see them and id run back to the house for the .410 and shoot them, if I couldn't see it then Twiggie would spend the majority of the day sent beneath that tree, nothing could shift her except for the prospect of a walk!

Well done mate, whenever you put pen to paper the critics come out of the woodwork, many a good writer have ceased from submitting articles in fieldsport magazines because of jealousy, and over zealou
