The dogs bring home some pretty wierd things, but this.... YUK.
Being possessive, Monty wouldn't let me inspect what he'd found (until we arrived home), but I could just make out the teeth; I presumed it was a Badger head, or something equally disgusting.
But no; it was a large plastic Crocodile head which he'd found in a newly cut hay field.
The question remains; how did it get there, and where's the rest of it?

CORRECTION. The picture I posted yesterday was actually of Aston 'Family Man' Barratt; Bob Marley's bass played and band leader. Woops!
ReplyDeleteI know what you're saying 'anyone could have made the same mistake'. No they couldn't!
ha! plastic! It sure looks real! I was thinking, who the heck is raising these wild creatures in Cro's neighborhood? A relief that it is man-made.
ReplyDeleteThat has got to be the weirdest thing ever found in a field - well spotted Monty - a sort of Crocodile Dundee moment!
ReplyDeleteAND, he pretended that it was the real thing!
DeleteOnly in Abroad - in England that would just have been the head of a garden gnome!
ReplyDeleteDid they film any of Jurassical Park near you?
Someone, not far away, is getting the shock of their life as their dog drags home a HEADLESS crocodile ... Good boy! Well done, Rover! Who's a nice fierce dog then!
Even when at home, and he'd finally dropped it, I still picked it up with a shovel thinking it was real. Good to know he has a sense of humour.
DeleteThanks for a hoot of laughter as I read the opening sentence and saw the pic. :D
ReplyDeleteThat's a great find. The dogs around my workshop have a habit of finding squeaky toys associated with Christmas, for some reason.
ReplyDeleteMy father-in-law once caught a plastic shark while ice fishing. There just aren't sharks in our lakes, not even plastic ones, so Dad just about had a coronary when he pulled this baby out of the hole.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're not throwing out the croc head - it's very unusual!
Maybe you should mount it on your wall. It could be quite a conversation piece.
ReplyDeleteYuk indeed! - even if it is plastic.
ReplyDeleteIt's the sort of thing that a nine year old boy would bring home too!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it used to be a lawn ornament. How it ended up in a field half-eaten is the real question. But don't you ever wonder what goes through Monty's brain when he's grabbing these things? "Alright! A huge severed head with deadly teeth! Yay!"
ReplyDeleteJust for a moment I thought it was a land dwelling shark...
ReplyDeleteDon't tell LS.
DeleteWhen I first saw the photo, I thought, do these folks in France have Crocs?? I thought MY dogs brought some strange stuff home over the years, but this takes the cake!!!
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh1 out! loud!
ReplyDeleteI had a cat who brought me home a yellow feather duster, from god knows where.
