This is why ...

... Coco isn't allowed to take her bone into the garden!
Today was beautiful day to go walking, Coco was fantastically well behaved, had tremendous fun playing with a 14 week lab pup called Ella and all her friends. She was really good of her lead and got to run about a bit longer than usual. As a reward she got a bone when we came home, I thought that she would be so tired that she would have a wee chew then curl up for a sleep. I didn't notice her take the bone out and went to investigate when she didn't come back in, this is what I found. Do you think my hostas will come back next year?
