Poppies and travelling dogs

Yesterday afternoon looking outside the window of the Medical clinic where I work, I spotted a man parking his motorbike and there was a Border Collie sitting in a box attached to the bike.
The dog was a seasoned traveller and was also enjoying the attention of various people surrounding him taking pictures.

It reminded me of a Border Collie we had when we lived in South Africa - Honey, being a working dog and not having to chase sheep used to busy herself digging up our garden... one day I arrived home from work and there she was lying on the grass with white foam coming out of her mouth!

I rushed her to the Vet who told me she must have eaten a poisonous plant. After a few days at the vet hospital she was fine and back to her antics. In the meantime I had a gardener come around and remove all the poisonous plants. Another good surprise when I looked out the kitchen window this morning, was to see that a poppy had bloomed in one of the three poppy plants I planted in a couple of weeks ago.

So pretty isn't it? I had too hold it to photograph it as the wind was blowing and the flower was swinging away... Posted by Sami at 23:06 Translate this Page into your language New visitors since 15 July 2011 Blogs that I follow:
