Hog attitude

[dangerous]

Bloody hedge hogs... It dosnt seem that long ago that I had my last dog, and if a hog steped on the property it would be nabed up and escorted off and the dog would return with a mouth full of spikes, dogs knew there job at any cost. Hogs were slow, like it used to take 3 days for the farkers to cross the drive, if ya so much as looked at one it would curl up in a ball for a week.
I used to pick em up on a shovel and hurl them 2 houses down, next week they would be back.

So whats with the attitude of hogs these days, I went out side to find the dogs having an indepth convo with a hog, lets call him Harry. Now Harry wasnt put off by the K9's what so ever but I figgered Id send Harry on his way, so just like the old days on the shovel and 'swing' opps dosent seem I have the arm or aim that I used to, Harry went head 1st into the vegie gardin, by the time I got over there harry had fled on foot (cant of liked the avation experance) I took chase and the littly 'prick' out ran me WTF. He ran straight back to were I picked him up from, so I thought Id duck inside and grab the camera, gone all of 10secs and came out to find hed shoot through.

Heard bit of a carry on on the front lawn so headed in that direction and found Harry and the K9's chowing down like it was a oll mates picnic, not on each other it seems Harry was showing the dogs the best parts on the garden to eat, so fark it if thats how they want to play it so be it. Do the math 10seconds and 15meters... how many kph is that? At one stage Harry chased the Staff it was like 'race to the garden dude'.

Great pics!
We have a hedgehog that hangs aroiund here, it is as yet unnamed.
Noisy buggers when they're at 'it' though!

Had one here a couple of years ago that was blind and only had three legs. It was rather funny watching this poor thing stagger round and round the BBQ. He did it every night, we thought perhaps he was training for the Paralympics marathon.

Ring worm isn't a bug - it's a fungal skin infection - tinea corporis.

Dude, if the hogs are out running ya, you're in for a mighty shock when the wee nipper gets his sea legs! :rofl: :D

[MsKABC]

Don't they eat slugs and snails? Not too sure why you dislike them so much D? My issue with them is our dogs kick up a stink during the night if they find/see them. And if they get hold of one, it's all over rover for the poor prickly bugger :(

I used to have a boxer who one time repeatedly nudged a hedgehog, getting stabbed harder and harder each time, getting progressively more angry (ok, so he was not overly blessed in the brains department) until he got really pissed off and just killed it. I can't count the number of times I had to remove hedgehog spikes from his lips! :no:

You mistake my post... I dont dislike them at all, I even patted Harry on the nose as he looked up at me with tose wee black eyes... I had a wimarana that used to pick them up and bring to me, being a gun dog no teeth were used but she still ened up with a lip full off spikes

Yeah, my Sibe-Bord can run around with one in his mouth with no damage to him or his pillion....until he decides to up the ante :(

Oh and I forgot to say, those pics are great & you have some nice looking pooches there too :niceone:

A little Hedgehog story;

Another suspend your disbelief story but I swear it's true. A few years ago we were camping in the lake district, Englandshire. Supper that night was a Chinese take away consisting primarily of Barbecued spare ribs. It was late and dark and we were tired so we left the porky bones on a plate in the lobby bit and retired for the night.

During the night we were disturbed by a strange noise, always spooky when camping in nowhere land, on investigation under torch light, we discovered it was a hedge hog dragging the plate out of the tent to feast on the bones. No biggie but.....

At dawns early light we found that the hedgehog had eaten all the bones, licked the plate clean and returned it to it's original place inside the tent, WTF :clap:

What excellent manners, here's to ya, spiky little friend. :laugh:

[Curious_AJ]

this is so cute! and yeah, hedgehogs can be very clever and ballsy when they want to be!!

[T.W.R]

ok point taken, I wont put him on the BBQ, will micro wave to ensure.


:clap: they taste quite good though

That's because they're both filthy animals. Ok so now ya winding me up... next you uneducated ninny will be saying pigs are filthy animals... Ill have you know dogs are a very clean animal as is a pig, I some how cant see a hog licking his own arse letalone his nuts so I wont comment there, wind the preload down a tad man.

I have one that lives under the house. Comes out to eat when I feed the cats. Seems like the thing has taken a liking to catfood.

And two years ago over Easter when I had got all the chocolate eggs hidden in the back yard and it was time for the boys to do the egg hunt, one of the big chocolate rabbits went missing. Only some of the silver wrapping left. It was daytime and no animals around, so I started looking around for it. But nowhere to be found. About a week later I noticed the wrapping where the cats and the hedgehog get under the house. So clearly the thing likes chocolate too.
