shephound 19 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 well tonight myself and my wheatenx jack headed out for a lamp on some land about 3 miles away.we got of to a great start bagging 10 rabbits out of 10 runs then we took a small break.we started back after about 20 minutes so on to rabbit number 11 found him sitting well out anyway sliped jack he ran up the beam and took the rabbit out of its seat.jack retreaves the rabbit and dropped it at my feet then he started to walk away so i called him when i did he started running dog disappeared couldnt find him spent about 2 1/2 hours looking for him no sign so i said id leave it till the morning to have a second look for him so i started walking the 3 miles or so home it took bloody ages couldnt stop thinking about jack never felt so sick in my life so i was coming to my house when i see a lump of hair sitting ouside the door as if nothing happened i could have killed him but i was happy to see him little fecker ran in the 3 miles through the fields to my house i was wondering if anyone else had this happen to them before Quote Link to post
