Stan Diary
27 Jan
So Dad, you know this week I’ve been having fun with my new friend Rachael? Well today topped it…..I, acting on my purest of pure canine instincts caught a Squirrel…..?…..I’ve had Rachael send you a picture of a squirrel so you know I big, mean and tough looking they are and I, Stan the Man, caught one…..I knew exactly what to do, I let Rachael finish it off as I saw her out of the corner of my eye looking on expectantly and probably in awe of me, however, I will say she had a strange technique of finishing the job, which involved picking it up, cradling it and gently stroking it, quite what she was expecting to happen is a mystery to me. She didn’t even take a bite, just gently placed it under a log for reasons best known to herself.
I told Rachael that this wasn’t my first hunt and that I had killed more squirrels than I care to remember, I don’t think she believed me though!
The rest of the walk was great at Hartshill, Rachael got a bit lost on the way back, probably because she was so intimidated by my hunting skills she wasn’t thinking straight, but I showed her the way home.
Here are some pictures of me, the first is very near the kill site and the second is me in a triangle that I tripped and fell into!!
Love Stan x
