Clifford the Big Old Cactus

I love it when neighbors move out.  Last week, we found that crappy dresser we turned into our super fun plant stand and outdoor bar.  Then yesterday, we found a new “pet” to adopt (strange statement explained here)!  When I got home from work, I found this guy waiting on the curb for a good home!

His name is Clifford and we love him. I think he kind of looks like a non-cuddly Muppet, no? We decided to put him on a table for now because we were afraid Bo would get too curious for his own good and end up with cactus spikes in his nose! We are still trying to figure out where his permanent home should be but plan on giving him some TLC in the meantime. Our backyard has certainly become cacti central after the past few weekends (case and point). They make the yard a happier, brighter, spikier place. :)
