This is Rumpole.
Rumpole is a plaster of Paris statue of a real dog that wandered away nine years ago and never came back.
We tell tales of where he might have gone, what mischief he got up to and the puppies he might have sired.
We still think one day he will find his way back home which is why we leave the side gate open.
Meanwhile the statue is comforting. We know he’s not really there
But every Halloween he cocks his leg and pisses on the pavers to remind us he still is

A lovely way to remember a lost pet.

🙂 someone had turned the sprinkler on and I couldn’t resist the photo that suggested he was pissing 🙂 Rumpole had a good sense of humor; I bet he’s chuckling up there in canine heaven 🙂
