trigger2 3,259 Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Any of you folks in contact with good old ray/bird. I dropped him a message a few weeks ago on wattsapp and he seems a bit down in the dumps. Just wondering if anyone's herd much off the old boy as he ain't in the mood for chatting which is unusual for him Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He has mate, it's unusual for him.to be so quiet. I've had a few years really good hunting with Ray. I want with him to choose buck. He's a good crack too. I hoped he would get another dog around him and just keep doing his walks in the day. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He was on about moving back to staffs so possibly busy with that? Hope he's doing ok and can get a nice mutt for in the house that will get him out and about. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 5,617 Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 Hope he’s okay. Been through a lot recently by the sound of it. His input on here is always good value, and hopefully he’ll be back on soon to tell us all about a new dog he’s taken on to keep him occupied. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh that's why I pm him...a good friend of mine had a young dog for him ready to go...we both thought it would be ideal for Ray as a pet and worker 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let's see eh... It certainly ain't like him. I was chatting to a lad who had messaged him. He said ray had read it and not replied which is unlike him. I got 1 small reply a few weeks ago then nothing from him. Hooe the old boys ok Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosun11 537 Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 Right chaps, Ray messaged me back last night. He's fine, thankfully... It was one of his usual long messages, explaining how things have been over the past 12 months, and tbh he's not had it easy, and so he's just been putting his life back together at his age. The biggest part was losing Buck. Getting him pts has really hit him hard, he didn't realise how it would affect him, and right now he's steering clear of anything lurcher or hunting related. He still would like another dog, but not yet... And he did say, at some point he will be back on here. I hope so... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The fact it's a long message means there's a flicker of good old Ray there. Hopefully he gets back on here and back to his old self a.s.a.p 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
