iworkwhippets 12,801 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Is a day I wont forget in a hurry, went out with the dog about 6 pm, alongside some railway bankings, bunnies come out into the open fields for the fresh grass, I was hoping for the dog to snatch one, but no luck, moved on into some woods I normally ferret, in she went I waited and waited, no sign of her, so I went in, she was there up to her neck in a pool of thick mud, just the top of her back and head were visible, I waded in, but on my first step, it was up half way my wellies, I had a job pulling myself out, nowt I could do but go home and get help, I don't think she was going any deeper, I think as I watched her, her feet must be on the bottom, so ff I went home, stuffed my extendable ladders in the car and humped the buggers over 3 fields, she was still in the same position, so I managed to get down to her with the ladders, it took me a while to make some kind of clearing for me to get the ladders from bank to bank, straight over the dogs back, f**k me what a job I had pulling her out, no strength left in me, just pure adrenalin, but I got her, out, f**k me what did she do, off sniffing warrens as though nowt had happened, I hadn't the strength to recover my ladders, I will get em later, nobody goes there except me 3 Quote Link to post

Penda 3,341 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I've had a similar experience years ago my beddy greyhound bitch went missing ended up in a bag managed to find a branch to hook her collar and get her out atleast your both in one piece ? Quote Link to post
slip lead 862 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 At least you BOTH know its there now, and hopefully she will steer well clear. Theres a bit of land local, holds plenty of rabbits, only problem also a couple of old open wells, that are hidden in the long grass. a place I avoid. Same as I would never lamp land I haven't walked in day light. Glad you both got home safe and sound. Quote Link to post
