Mr. Puppy sculpture is now a new addition to my garden.

So this is what happened.  The day before yesterday it was beautiful warm and sunny.  I had errands to run and one of the places was Canadian Tire for a mailbox slot (the postman broke my last one).  If you are Canadian, you know that Canadian Tire is a wonderful place for garden inspiration.  And since garden centers do not have even pansies out yet, and we are all starving for some spring and summer – entering Canadian Tire is like a spring paradise.  Of course, I went up and down the garden isles to check it all out.  And there were solar lights.

And then I turned and there was a brown puppy sculpture with a solar light.  Big floppy ears, brown, sitting like Boucle sits.  Only his eyes are blue and Boucle’s are brown.  Nevertheless, I was overtaken with garden Boucle inspiration.  I couldn’t resist and took this Boucle puppy home.  There it now sits, in my garden adding a touch of garden whimsy.  Every garden, no matter how serious, needs a bit of garden whimsy.

Boucle needed to check him out too and give his poodle approval……sweetie-pie likes him.
