Where do I start?

 

Arrived at the venue at 9.15, macker done the toss and RH was first to slip his bitch. We had plenty of cloud cover and a good wind, so it looked like the perfect night for a spot of lamping.

 

First field we entered had a few bunnies, but they soon hit the ditch, Mr. Charlie was in the field and the bunnies were on their toes. Next field we entered had a good few bunnies and it looked like we would get a few slips in. As Reynardhunter won the toss he was first to slip his bitch, she closed in really fast on the bunny, both bunny and dog went over a hill and out of sight, and then we heard a terrible howl, which could only mean one thing.

 

We found the bitch at the bottom of a deep sloping bank with the bunny dead beside her. On closer inspection it was discovered that the bitch had collided with some rocks and had damaged her back legs, she found if very had to stand and was dragging her rear legs as she attempted to walk, sick to the stomach is how we felt at that time.

 

Martin managed to lift his bitch up the bank and across the two fields to the jeep, where we had a closer look at the damage; macker had a close look at the wound and found that it was not too bad, both legs were tested in both directions and both moved freely with no pain to the bitch, but some damage to the mussel may have accrued. At this stage the comp was well and truly off, and it was agreed that we would give the bitch a few days to see how she recovers, Martin is as I type tending the bitch with care and medication, so lets hope she is ok. As you can see from the blanket they was plenty of blood from the wound.

Thanks for all the support lads, the bitch is very sore today but out and about moving around, she,s a bit stiff on one hind leg which i,m sure will loosen up as the days pass, i hope to take her to the beach in a few days, let her have a swim and make sure the muscles get a bit of work, will let you know how she gets on in the next few days, thanks again lads
