Whippets' first rabbit since her accident...........

[martin 332]

We were out for a walk today not even a mooch really,and Ula and Scrap started to take a bit of an interest in a scrubby bramble patch,and,all of a sudden Scrap the terrier dived in and put out a rabbit,which made a quick exit up the field which is a very steep hill.The rabbit got a good head start on Ula,but she went immediately into overdrive,and,absolutely ate up the ground that seperated them,she then turned the rabbit one way and then the other probably six times before scooping it up.I can tell you that at that moment I felt just like a Lottery winner,and,as I type this I can hear some of the mega hunters clicking off,but,as some of you will be aware I am just getting over a stroke,and,what with Ula having been in the wars lately tearing her side open,

and having split pads and torn webs,I just felt that something good had happened,and,that put a VERY BIG smile on my face.

Unfortunately there is a down side though,Ula felt that she didn't need to bother to retrieve her prize to me,and,even worse gave it a bit of a ragging.I tried patiently to get her to bring it on,but,she wasn't having any of it,so,eventually I had to go to her,and,I heaped praise on her,and,even let her carry the rabbit for a while so she didn't feel the need in the future to withold a rabbit from me.After a short while I took it off her,and,she didn't seem to worry then,so,it will be back to the drawing board again.Anyway here is the lady in question with her prize.................
