Dear Irish Hare,

Whilst I am delighted and priveliged to share this hilly, boggy, rocky bit of land with such a noble and admired species, would you kindly please 'do one' now?
I am sure there are plenty of other places than this particular couple of acres, that you could hang out in.

Tonight, for the second time in a week, I have watched, with my heart in my mouth, as my beloved boy has, er, 'hared' off into the trees after one of your speeding, blurry colleagues.

For the second time in a week I have stood helpless - with images of said projectile leading him into the loose herd of sheep in the forest, or onto the nearest main road, flooding my mind.

For the second time in a week I have had to sit down and have a cup of strong tea to calm my jellified legs.

For the second time in a week my voice has gone hoarse, and I have had a big, wet, smelly face because I buried it in my boy's neck and gave him a massive hug and kiss, because he returned following my third hysterical, earth-shattering rendition of 'PUPPY!!! COOOMMMEEE!'.

And finally, just be glad he is a) not a lurcher and b) realistic about his chances of actually catching you.

Many thanks, and wishing you all the best in finding a new, less stressful stomping ground,

Dear Gloucestershire/Herefordshire cats, chickens, ducks, hedgehogs, rabbits, other dogs, small children, anything small and interesting which runs fast...

Please see above. Ditto.

Many thanks

LOL!! Mine chase after the rabbits but the rabbits are completely safe. There is not a remote chance they will ever actually catch one. In fact, while I was away Dexter apparently legged it after a myxy rabbit which did not run away. He just stood looking at it foe a few seconds then bumbled off!! Said rabbit then got squished by a tractor...at least it was out of it's misery.
 
H_H I would like to copy this to the kamikaze rabbits of Norfolk please

Stop taking the mick out of Henry just because he is a bit slow off the mark you evil bunnies

We used to have hares when I lived in Cheshire, I so remember that heart stopping moment when your dogs disappear over the skyline

. My Dad had whippets at the time and they sometimes caught them, much to the Shepherds frustration. I think I should copy your letter on to the Shropshire bunnies, although they do help keep the dogs exercised , they have a tendency to affect Evies hearing when they appear

Dear Berkshire Badgers and Deer....


What on earth my idiot GSDs think they're going to do with a mammal that weighs nearly what they do is beyond me!!
 
Would you believe, a young one popped up at dog club today, thank the Lord we were packing up to go home.
Hares really are dim - oh, 'I know, I'll run through a field next to an assembly of 15 German Shepherd Dogs with incredibly strong prey-drives!'

I will have to stop calling him 'puppy' soon, he is two next month
