Taking some kits to school!

[Malt 379]

I'm taking a few of my ferret kits to school tomorrow, as I've been asked by my 6 year old daughters teacher.

I'm going to take a few purse nets in as well, and try to whet a few appetites! I'd take the dog as well, but she's in season.

Great invitation so good luck.

 

My kids once told teacher at primary school that 'daddy goes hunting and shooting' all I got was a fecking lecture off the teacher and the school!!!

Bear in mind the school is in a small village in the countryside!!

Put it down to ignorant town / city folk who move to the 'countrside'

What do they expect?

i took mine and also took our old bullx in to my daughters playschool once, the bullx loved every minit of the little ones making a fuss, he looked like a giant compared to them.

Ive done it a few times when the kids where small you got to watch though small kids have no fear and throw themselves at the ferrets and can be a bit rough towards them

I've done it a few times at my daughters nursery and last year I did ferret racing for my girls school.I take one of the dogs into my grans nursing home to act as a pat dog.

It went well, only one little nip! The little lad just laughed, put him down & picked up another one straight away.

Glad it went well

 

 

It's the mums/dads that often cause PR problems...Haven't you got somewhere for little Jonnie/Janet to wash their hands (out in middle of a field during an event..I think not ).

took our adults and kits down to the local school fate at their request recently.. did a lil fun racing and LOTS of kiddies with hands on .. they LOVED it!

 

Luckily i was covered by our club insurance... that can get sticky if someone gets hurt.. trips over the cage or gets bitten or something stupid

I work as a supply teacher in a few inner city schools and a few years back the reception class were invited to a "city-schools-only" country fair. As a precursor to the event I took in a couple of ferrets and my kelpie and gave a ferreting display in the school hall.

I always tell all the kids that I teach that I work my dogs and I've had several tell me that their parents or grand-parents hunt. One seven year old in particular tells me with a knowing wink and a smile how many rabbits he caught at the weekend whenever he goes out ferreting with his grandad.
