The Stranger

 

My gargoyle had a fall in the garden yesterday
He was decapitated 
I managed to reattach his head with the help of some extra strong glue and he lay forlorn  in the supportive  
recesses  of Dorothy’s favourite blanket on the sideboard all day.
Irritated by his presence Dorothy has checked on the “ stranger” every half hour with an angry snort each time she realised that he was still there

    Oh no! Accidents are happening. My dragon got pushed over by Caesar (my dog) and his ear fell off. I used PL 500 landscape glue to attach the ear but the crack did not look good so I spray painted him black gloss. This looks better. Dorothy says, "Please give me my (security) blanket."

    Occasionally I have seen a reflection in my mirror of your gargoyle x

    Shame on him for needing Dorothy's lovely blanket.

    Love,

    Maybe your gargolye was looking for a friend. When pottery class resumes, perhaps you could make a companion for him/her?
    Dorothy definitely needs her blanket back. Methinks you need a stash of one or two large old towels for fallen gargoyles so Dorothy won't be bereft.

    Hugs!

    I would not be happy either if I were Dorothy.

    Her heart is broken; she's just hiding it well :)

    Glad you were able to fix him! Fun picturing Dorothy angrily snorting over her blanket! xx

    That's one lucky gargoyle to have his own personal nurse!

    Poor Dorothy. She thinks she's been supplanted by "the stranger"! I hope she's now got her blankie back, and is recovering from her traumatic experience! I do love the gargoyle, though. xx

      She has at least seven blankets all washed in rotation

    Dorothy just wants her blanket! She is probably upset that you have given it to another creature.

    I don't think that gargoyle is going to be Dorothy's Best Friend any day soon!

    Hope the glue has taken well. He looks a bit traumatised!

    I'm not surprised she snorts...he doesn't look very friendly, and he's in HER space.

    Good you could repair it. I would have used something other than Dorothy’s blanket for support, because I know who’s in charge.

      The throw doubles as her wee blanket when she has accidents when alone

      Yeah, no matter what Dorothy says, I would have used the wee blanket, too.

    You should have called me out. I would have searched for petrol, driven to Wales and done the same job on it as you did, but for lots of money.

    Not surprised - I wouldn;t care for that in the recesses of my blanket either.

    I wonder why you were so mean to take Dorothy's blanket from her when you know it's her favourite blanket.

      I have a sense that all you want to do anon is to create conflict and argue, and it’s somewhat tiring and definitely immature
      Dorothy has several blankets and pillows and throws .I was just using one of them
      If you think That I am mean to my dogs …you are foolish

      I’ve deleted several anon comments here
      Under the guise of a balanced comment they carry an undercurrent of bile and they sneak in a barbed and pointed observation.
      Indeed one even admitted that they wouldn’t say the same things under their real name

      All this is sad as it smacks to me of being such a waste of time and energy

      I suspect alcohol is involved too…

    If I saw a face like that, I think I would also give an angry snort.
