Is Your OH An Animal Lover?

[Bizzy Lizzy]

DH and I sit and read the newspapers on our tablets and share interesting stories. I found one about a man that had been found dead (yes not a cheerful story) from asphyxia with his head stuck in a rabbit hole. It turns out he was out hunting rabbits with his dog and his ferrets on New Years Day and never came back. I was relating this to DH and his immediate question was: "Did they find the dog and the ferrets okay?" Just what I would expected from him. He was so relieved when I told him that the dog was tied to a tree nearby and the ferrets were still in the sack and were fine.

BL - that made me laugh! I only saw the headlines on this sad tale and I have to confess my first thought was had the dog bolted down the rabbit hole and got stuck as well!

Your OH is obviously an animal lover - or like my OH, likes to know the details. He hates having any loose ends in a story or news item. A typical example - GS2 went to Cub camp over half-term. When I mentioned it to OH he said ' where? "Cub camp" I repeated. OH (slightly impatiently) "Yes, I heard that, but where is the camp?" Obviously I didn't know, hadn't asked, never even thought about the details!

I shouldn't be thinking such a thing but good job too. He got what he deserved!

Oh herriotfan I am glad it is not just me that thinks these things

Daisy I am just the same as your OH I have to ask questions when told part of a story. My DH does not bother asking and it drives me mad. I always want MORE INFORMATION. I often say, "How could you not have asked that question?" He just looks amazed that I would think of it. Chalk and Cheese.

I like having animals around but I couldn't claim to be an animal lover.

My OH loves all sorts of Animals but Cats and any kind of Rodents , wouldn't hurt them but wouldn't have them in the house , Thing about this story is the fact he was using Ferrets to catch the Bunnies , im not against hunting for food but if your going to do that make it a clean quick death like shooting it not kill it with Ferrets or snares , and what did he have his head down a hole for he wouldn't be able to see anything anyway , where was his hands? couldn't he scrape away the soil around his head ? See these are questions I would want to know OH would say well he had his head in a hole that's all you need to know

Apparently his head was in the hole and all of his torso and arms were outside. Sounds bazaar doesn't it Oma. I don't really get why people go out for rabbits because most people do not eat wild rabbit these days and I cannot imagine why they would want to kill if there is no real need of food.
