" KING RAT 2008 " ~ The Official Thread!

dunno if this is acceptable - i had to photograph it dangling cos every time i put it down the cats tried to run off with it. it was 19" laid out flat, stretched a bit being held! -
my grandad's trick with the stubborn ones was to walk them on the lead at night. for some reason, even the most troublesome pups calm down on the lead in the dark. worked with my lurcher.

12 bore! either on the dog, or on yourself when the frustration get to you & you become convinced you're shit with dogs!

"staffordshire bull rabbit"? i thought this was going to be another one of your Leitrim Experiments gone terribly wrong! oh dear, i can just imagine you stood there, in shock, mere feet from being steam-rollered by a badger!

"Manoki" the UK's only Giant Otter.
Ossie replied to Dawn B's topic in Wildlife and General Photography
there was a programme on bbc2 about them the other night, about a naturalist studying them in the wild who found an abandoned baby one & reared to release into the wild. they are native to Brazil, and live in close-knit family groups. very defensive of their territory, they don't take kindly to otters they don't know. amazing creatures though! -
not bad at all! i used to help my dad shift furniture from the local auction house, and smash up the unsold crap that wasn't collected after the auction... he'd pay me a tenner for 6 hours work! can i come & work for you?

the lad i used to go lamping with bred a litter of bull/whippet x's once, and kept back a pup for himself. picked the strongest looking one, but once it was grown it went off its food, didn't want to come out of the kennel, wouldn't work, but it doted on the lads girlfriend. he took it to the vets, and the vet said that it was depressed. he thought this was a load of b******s, and persevered, but to no avail. in the end he gave the dog to his girlfriend, now it is perfectly normal, eats well, and is game as anything! so dogs can get depressed!

not much you can do to make them heal faster - you can make them look healed quickly, but they'll still split. Gyp did his right one, split down the middle, i left it 3 weeks & it looked healed, took him out & he split it again. i got some of that self-adhesive bandage stuff for horses, and i strap him up with that now, just to be on the safe side.

unless someome has already posted this and i missed it, i'm about to be the bearer of sad news. after his wife's death 2 months ago, Ted's health took a turn for the worse, and unfortunately he passed away on Sunday. there's not a lot else i can say on the subject really, so i'll just leave it there, i'm sure some of you will add your comments.

years ago, when my mum was little, my grandad took her red labrador out shooting with him about 15 miles from home. the dog got spooked & took off, straight across the road & got hit by a car. the dog was under the car, so my grandad (a giant of a man) picked the front of the car up; the dog got up, and ran off! he turned up back home a month later, on christmas eve, thin as a rake, but otherwise unscathed.

our cats used to be sods for ripping up binbags, not just ours, but all the neighbours binbags as well. my dad refused to believe it was our cats, until they left a line of nappies from across the road to our back door! in the end we sprayed our binbags with a mix of olbas oil & water. cats hate the smell of olbas oil, so they got as far as our bins, took one sniff, went "f*ck that!" and headed home. so, if you can't get the binbags out of the way of the dog (can't see why that would be difficult, a good plastic rubbish bin with a clip-on lid should do the trick), try spraying them with ci

my mum has always told me that if you have one lurcher, you should have 2. a favourite one & a spare, because it's sods law something will happen to your favourite! mum & dad always used to keep an old ex track greyhound as a spare dog. despite mum always banging on about this, i'm not allowed to have another dog while i'm living with my parents!

i think that's what Ditch would call a bit of luxury, he only got something to sit on in the bog last March!

round here a lot of people call hobs Jacks. me & my little bro sort of popularised that one, cos when we were little we decided that if females are jills, shouldn't it be jacks & jills? we took our ferrets all over with us, and raced them at the local every year, all the other kids picked it up... my cousins call big hobs "bucks" but i don't know anyone else who does.
