This guy came to live in my garden this weekend. Hopefully he will be able to encourage the rabbits, woodchucks and other varmits to keep away...
His name is Spike.
An Unusual garden friend (?)
WOW, Spike is neat looking and certainly shouts out authority....rabbits beware!
Very nice, looks handmade. Great craftsmanship if so :)

Cool! I love copper. Did you make it or purchase it?
That's really cool. Would love to have a Spike in my garden!

Spike is indeed handmade. I adopted him from the artist (and I can't remember his name- darn!) at the South Shore Arts Festival this past weekend. We decided his name should be "Spike" because the poor artist had so many little holes in his fingers from Spikes spines and spikes.
So far Andrew the garden dog has not discovered Spike. I'm sure it will be dramatic when he does.

PS: so far the rabbits have not noticed his threatening nature. One was munching away not two feet from him yesterday evening.....

Maybe we should start a forum for hardscaping and ornaments? Here's my new addition Loves it!
Very nice. Our NJ rabbits don't scare too easy either. Our garden dog "Bear" just lays in the sun and watches all the little bunnies. Every once in a while he'll stretch in their direction.
I love both your new art work and your Garden Dog. I have a dog and 5 cats who "help" me with gardening. My female tuxedo cat sadly hunts dragonflys (my totem) and brings me their wings--sans bodies. I know she means well, but...
Anyway, here is said cat, Mariah, perched between 2 metal dragonflies as if awaiting the moment to pounce.
