lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Wahey!!! Out mooching with the mutts today when my grey put her nose down for a bit, and plucked a bunny up out of the grass (to date she's only had bunnies, uh, given to her ). They had a tug of war over it and for some reason my grey decided she wasn't interested and dropped it gently When it tried to scarper the pup struck it. She pranced around with it for a bit while I did the dance of joy Then she looked like she wanted to run off with it, so I told her what a good girl she is and let her have it - first prize and all that. It wasn't huge and she ate it in one go So, sadly, no photographic evidence but .... WE FINALLY HAD OUR FIRST BUNNY I'm only a bit chuffed. Honest. I know it's not that exciting for you seasoned folks on here but for me it was a big deal - so don't take the mick outta me Quote Link to post

And by the way...........my last pup promptly devoured the first rabbit she caught also Quote Link to post

Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I know just how you feel, its effects us all the same way, hope its the begining of a life time of work. Well done Quote Link to post
lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Thanks you lot I'm chuffed for a few reasons. My grey is a bit of a bonehead and I was pleased with the way she just calmly put her nose down, found it and plucked it up. I nearly fainted when she let it go for the pup. It was her first proper bunny and she just let it go, came to me for a fuss and trotted off to look for more. Her behaviour normally leaves a lot to be desired - I'm well happy with the way she was with the pup and myself as well. I've been after the bunnies up there for yonkers so I'm glad I finally sussed where they are. And this pup is my first real effort at working a dog. So ya, I'm buzzin Quote Link to post
