Lesson learnt Lol Reminds me of the time i slipped on what i thought was a nice bunny in the new forest. It turned out to be a donkey laying down. A lot of the stock in the forest wear hi vis collars so they dont get hit on the road. As my little whippet x ran at this thing, it stood up. Gave the dog a fright and all i could say was "what the f**k is that"? You expect rabbits to skoot along the ground, not suddenly raise 6 feet in the air 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
