Ireland Ferret Racing At Shanes Castle

[Dazzam 239]

Forest lodge is graeful and really look forward to the day a Shanes a special outing for them Sorry this came up so quickly or I would of had some nets for the a prize If the winner of the net making kit wants a few lessons on making nets I will give up a some time or I will turn the kit into nets for them Give me a yell, See you all there Sammy & Linda

Thanks Sammy, the nets we got of you earlier in the year are of a great quality, very well knitted and bag excellent. Only problem is that they all seemed to end up in vermin catchers net bags ....maybe something to do with hi vis orange . So if any of you Northern Irish ferreters are in need of any purse nets contact bowersey on here. Mick Dadd who's very well known at the Game Fairs across the water allowed Sammy to knit nets in his stall while he attended to other customers, that says a lot about Sammys net making skills. Maybe a net knitting demonstration might be possible in the future.

Think I need to invest into some bigger ferrets!!!!!!!

Poor wee rabbit, doesn't look very happy

 

lol neither would you if some huge, gigantic black oversized whippet was trying to latch onto your ass, but then again, there's no telling what some women are into

The owner of the rabbit said to Graham "that's a hell of a big whippet you have there mate", Graham took one look at him then at the rabbit, shook his head and walked away laughing

 

sure the viking lad was looking a lend of him to do the jousting display on to rest his chestnut lol

Thank you to Brian who has kindly donated a ferret carrying box which some lucky person will take home with them. I have three ferret bow back carrying boxes, a treble, a double and a single which have all been professionally made by Brian. If anyone is looking a good quality ferret box at affordable prices I would highly recommend him. pm me for his details. Once again thank you very much Brian.
