My Dog Rules - Not for Rat lovers!!

Heh heh,

 

So there I was, chilling at home last night, when I hear a 'weird' bark from one of the dogs outside. After a while you get to know what certain barks mean when you hear them from your dog, and I knew that this one was a 'Hey ... You inside ... Come see what I did' kind of bark.

 

So I open the door and this is the sight that greeted me ... Heh heh ... Legend!! She was very proud of herself :innocent:

 

Cheers, J :thumbs:

She rocked up the other day with a hedgehog hanging out the side of her mouth :looney: :looney: - Not sure how she got it, but it was covered in duckweed so we assumed it had been for a swim in the pond!!

 

We left it outside overnight (not looking too healthy) hoping that it would make its' way home. It was still there in the morning, half uncurled, with bubbles coming out of its' nose and shivering like crazy. Didn't look great at all :thumbdown . But Doctor Doolittle here put it in the shed with a load of straw nicked from the horses' stable, and a tray of dog food (hedgehogs love it!). 4 Days later it had found its' feet again and was climbing all over the shed looking much better. Left the shed door open overnight and it made its' way home by itself .... ahhhhh ... very rewarding! Rolf Harris eat your heart out!! :D

 

Cheers, J :D

Is that a german shorthaird pointer James?

 

Yep ... we've got two of them, and have always had them for as long as I can remember! That's the Mother in the picture, and we kept one of her puppies too :D

 

Here is a pic of the puppy. She was messing about in the shed when the box fell on her. It was empty, but she decided that it was really heavy and wouldn't move until someone lifted the bpx up :shrug: . You can just about see the disapproving look on her Mothers' face :D :D

Oh ... and just for you Rosie ... this is Barry!!

 

Cheers, J :D

Hmmm, your dog and my cat would have made a good team :D ]

 

That's not so far fetched....

 

Slightly long intro, but bear with me :)

 

You may remember the clip of Richard Whiteley (RIP :( ) on the sharp end of a ferret.

 

The guy on the blunt end, saying "She's only playing. If she was serious she'd be through to the bone.", was a teacher (!) called Brian Plummer, who paid for his first house by betting on his ratting terrier.

 

In one of his books Plummer had a brilliant picture of a terrier and a farm cat which had teamed up to hunt rats in a battery chicken shed. The dog was doing all the work, diving under the cages to flush the rat and the cat was on top, waiting to pounce (typical cat!).
