Not as expected

[RossM 8,149]

So was up early this morning and on the road for 5.30am, a day ferreting with the pup planned, ended up not even getting a ferret in a hole, boys terrier slipped its lead and dropped  down in a rocky bit, queue 6 hours of fannying about having to go get spades, bars a locator then another that worked, then batteries.. but hey the pup got a bit socialising, different scents and a ride on a quad so not all bad

When I had terriers they often dropped into places unexpectedly at the worst of times, usually when I was just stretching my legs and letting the dogs empty out.

Christmas day before dinner, when I had pay to collect and the office about to shut, when I was supposed to take the wife shopping etc.etc.

If there's a place with scent going to it they'll be gone. No thought for anyone else terriers.

To be fair I’ve genuinely not Dug to a terrier in at least a decade, part of me really enjoyed it, the other part was saying “f**k this”

I get upset about digging to a rabbit over 2ft definitely not interested in a deep dig through the rocks . Glad you got him back
