Penelope Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Fantastic news J. I remember that willow swamp from our afternoon with John when G and I were on Hilgay, a really tangle. He let the dog out for a pee before going out wasn't going to use the dog as he was in a boat ,anyway the dog must of flushed a wounded duck from the edge of the water and she went for it and shes know for never giving in on a runner . I was there when she was found on a wash that's flooded bank to bank starting to wonder if she had been there for 4 days and nights.Gerard and I were shooting welny road washes angle and hilgay ,as the washes are flooded bank to bank we were in boats but walking with them any way we were early so stood talking drinking coffee for a while few people braved the crossing in 4x4 time came we went to our chosen wash think I had a shot at a woodcock flighting over and this dog started to howl making a terrible racket ******* me right of spoiling the flight it did cross my mind was it brads dog thought will look after the flight , thought it could be gerards old dog not taken out playing up ,any way with ear defenders on couldn't decide where it was coming from and I could hear other fowlers about thought that's bad leaving your dog to howl like that ,gerard thought it was my dog as im quite hard of hearing and couldn't hear mine,after he had gone back and slapped his old dog for howling poor ******!. Betweent he two washes is an overgrown wash full of trees more of a willow wood really gerard thought well no one shoots that wash so went to look were the racket was coming from and in among the trees was meg but he couldn't get to her as for fallen trees and felled one but after a bit she swam out to him and as of ten oclock last night she was reunited with brad a very happy man .
