Some evil thing on the porch.

Sid came out to find a new and threatening object crouched by the door.




It took a lot of sniffing and pawing before he determined it to be safe.



Charlie was not overly bothered.

  1. What is it?

    I'm getting old and my eyesight is on the wane, probably due to blog reading, share dealing and online poker!

  2. It is a boot brush with the head of a hedgehog. At least I think that's what it is. I don't know--dbd got it before he met me!

  3. Is it a hedgehog? I guess it could be but I thought it was a cat.

  6. If it is a cat, why does it have bristles?

    unfortunately one's in the shape of a hedgehog and one the shape of a cat, it's not clear to me which is which. The site is enlightening though, it shows that thing I thought was some sort of insect frightener is actually a beetle boot jack and is intended to be decorative.
