fred90 3,180 Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago mooching in the afternoon mist, dog's working the hedgerow, across the dyke there is a row of trees amongst nettles, brambles, ground quite boggy, I was scanning the trees looking for a shot at woodies with the catapult when I saw this chap about 4 feet off the ground, I thought is he dead or asleep, a big dog fox he never moved until I said now then are you asleep, he lifted his head looked at me for a couple of seconds then he was down and off through the brambles. 17 1 Quote Link to post
terryd 8,358 Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago I noticed they don’t half sleep well. Especially in the summer often catch them napping in the rough grass. The old dog gave one or two a rather rude awakening. Felt bit sorry for them dozing away in the sun and next it’s all going badly wrong. Clocked one this year sleeping out on the edge of a field. Saw it a mile away and popped bitch on a lead . Walked right up to it and it was only when I circled up wind it woke up. does your whippet keep close Fred or will it get its nose down and go ?
