little lurcher · what an excellent afternoon , score 3 but blooming brill

today was going to be a relaxing day for me , i had the carer coming in to sit with my eldest whom is disabled so me and alfie could go do something?

well we decided to go ferreting , however then Thomas my eldest whom cant even walk decided he was coming to , which then involved bring the carer !!!

the trooper was loaded with dogs nets the ferret , kids and carers and my lazy day of doing nowt was cancelled lol, so at 2pm off we all trundled to a bit of new permission i had to have a look at , away we went complete with flasks , cold drinks and various sweety crisp things full of e numbers lol

we arrived and knocked at door , to be shown what needed to be cleared, well i couldnt believe my eyes at the damage caused by the rabbits, over 40 acres unable to be used!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grazing land totally unsafe to use

i was unable to get the truck there so i asked what other areas needed doing , i really must learn to open my eyes, the place i had parked was desimated by the bdooly things , this was right beside the road too , so away we went breaking every rule in the book , having a ball!!! kids were out picnicing beside where i was trying to ferret, the ferret evven had a little snack as well as whippets and lurchers even the odd human had a nibble !!!! my eldest thought it was great , his job was to get the drinks for us

ferret was entered and very soon we had a bolter and he was in the bag , i hadnt netted up so 2 then were missed due to the landowners daughter not slipping when told too , we then dug to another grabbed him , then showed the girl how to skin and gut

then ferret was lost so a bit of a bollox there , but a recce round the field showed me more hotspots of bunnies and i will go back there very soon

as we were packing up , i saw a bolter , the whippet grabbed its arse as it went back but then there was a squeal and yep there was mr cheese the ferret , who then prompty came running to me to be picked up , we couldnt find the bunny even though we dug ?

we have had 1 of the best days ever , even if the number was low and we broke the rules , my alfie was running up and down getting excited thinking the bunnies were coming , lots of yapping going on with the land owners daughter etc , and the special part was doing this with my son whom isnt really cut out for that type of thing being unable to walk , but he was so important to our team , just having him there made it special for me

thanks for reading , i hope you can understand why im so proud
