the new garden dog

Jinks is still very much with us, no worries! Ray took a fancy to this funky dog in a craft centre on holiday. When the wind blows, it rocks gently back and forth on its stand.

I was convinced that Jinks would spend his time in the garden barking at this addition but he hasn't yet worked out that it's a dog.

Posted for gloriously rusty Tuesday.
This is quite fun! Great addition to your garden.

You have a magic garden, by magic I mean lovely. I am sure the new dog will not replace Jinks as top dog but it is really cute & wonderful fun addition to your garden, I want one !

Oh, this is a lovely garden ornament and beautiful garden.

Lovely idea - really made me smile!

Beautiful. This would look fantastic in my garden along with my owl who rocks gently in our garden. Mine had major eye surgery a few days ago though when his eye fell out. Luckily his foot caught it and it is now glued back in ha ha.

I love tin ornaments! Where I live, there are also ants and others bugs of tin to buy.

Funny you should say that but when Ray spotted this dog for sale, the one on display was one-eyed! We thought they might all be like that but a dog with two eyes was found for us!

We tried that years ago but the dog we got was nowhere as interesting as this. It was just a little stone dog. We ended up with a real dog! But this one does move so maybe....

This would bring a big smile to your face every time you saw it....I expect your Jinks wasn't over enthusiastic at first......a rival!
April 29th, 2014  
Oh so cute!
April 29th, 2014  
Love it

Pat, he just thinks it's a lump of metal on a stick, which it is of course!

Interesting qualitative photo. Funny dog! Kind greetings, Alex.
April 29th, 2014  
Charlie would have a field day with this, great find!
April 29th, 2014  
Great garden art, it's always fun to have rusty cool things, especially one's that move in the wind!
April 29th, 2014  
Perhaps Jinks is playing it cool but secretly admiring it from afar. It looks great in your garden.
April 29th, 2014  
Hahaa - must not smell like dog!
April 29th, 2014  
Funny piece of garden art. You garden looks great.
April 29th, 2014  
A wonderfully quirky piece of garden art! Will make you smile each time you look at it!
April 29th, 2014  
Ha ha, love this. Exactly the sort of thing my husband would bring home for the garden.
April 29th, 2014  
@quietpurplehaze Thank you Hazel, a lovely invite, maybe one day I will come for chocolate cake "yum" oh...& naturally to you three lovely people in person (I include Jinks, he's almost human). Thanks again.
