About 9 p.m. she decided it was time to go in the back garden and water the grass. I think we were both surprised to see the remains of a rocket had landed, burying itself nose first in the soggy ground. Usually the morning following a nearby firework display I manage to collect a few of these. They make excellent garden canes for tall flowers.

The flash from the camera shows how well her reflective collar works. That is often the only piece of her I can see when she wanders round the garden at night.
At least it didn't spear a hedgehog! The reflective collar works perfectly and a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThis time of year for early morning walks we both have reflective clothing. Village lighting isn't brilliant and many drivers ignore the speed limit.
DeleteGood to see she's settled to life in Lincolnshire.
ReplyDeleteShe has settled well Adrian. It took a few days but she has got used to the 'cannons' used by the farmers to scare the pigeons though I wish they would go back to shooting them.
DeleteThey are shooting them here on Sunday morning which saves the gas canons going off every twenty minutes. Keeps the magpies down as well.
DeleteLovely picture John, she does look very quizzical :-) The reflective collar really works well, an excellent idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jan. She even kept investigating the hole after I had removed it.
DeleteAn intruder in her garden.
ReplyDeleteIf it was still hot Keith I'm glad it didn't land on the shed roof.
Deleteoh, dear! a little close for comfort.
ReplyDeletei sometimes have to keep a light on during thunderstorms to keep one of my dogs from freaking out about the lightning. it helps a bit, anyway.
When my last dog lost most of his eyesight I used to leave a light on all night for him.
DeleteMy pups used to wear a battery operated red, flashing, golf ball sized orb that hung from there collars when they went out at night for walkies. We called them "blinky balls". Pennys collar is much more cost effective/useful in the long run, and much prettier too. :)
ReplyDeleteImaBurdie: I have a collar with flashing LEDs but never got round to using it. I have no idea how long the batteries would last. They show well as I see another dog wearing one some mornings.
