The Home Guard.

I once thought of buying a rottweiler to make sure any unwanted visitor couldn't get passed the front door. On reflection I decided that a rottweiler could probably eat me out of house and home.

Than one Christmas my Sister bought me a garden ornament of one of my favourite creatures, the gorgeous hedgehog. So after a a lengthy training course, Horace is now my Home Guard at my front door. Just like the Home Guard during the 2nd world war, you wouldn't want to argue with him.

I bet one wrong look from Horace and he would turn you to stone;0)

[Sue Hecker]

I love Horace! I'm glad you're safe.

@gerry @snowy @ziggy77 @claireuk @featherstone Horace says thank you all, he's much cheaper to keep than the rottweiler.

[Gayanne Campbell]

Horace is awesome, lovely textures and detail. He is a delightful gift.

[Lin]

On first glance, he looks very sweet (maybe that's his secret to good home security...the element of surprise...) Lovely capture!

[virtualbrownie]

Less expensive than a rottweiler for sure - hope Horace earns his keep

[Phil Cameron]

nice Hedgepig Heather :-))

[John]

Now that is a sculpture to pause and definitely give a second look at. :-)
Very different and unusual.

@zenna @linnypinny @virtualbrownie @philcameron59 @congaree Thank you all for your comments, he just cost me worms compared to a rottweiler.

[Kathie]

I'm scared! You won't see me lurking around your house. Fun

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@carolmw @kathiecb Thanks ladies, your right Kathie even the postman won't come inside the gate.

[Connie]

This one made me do a double-take...looks a little scary. Will Horace keep the foxes away? Fun capture!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@connie865 Thanks for looking Connie, don't worry about the foxes, Horace will be safe as I'm feeding the foxes so prickly Horace doesn't look tasty.

[Ruby]

I love all the differentbtextures here, and nice to meet Horace! :)

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Thanks Ruby, Horace is pleased to meet you as well.
