When the human came home and started doing chores, this is what she found.
It did not belong on the ground in the mud. This is where it belonged, on Annie Belle O'Boera.
This is the collar that Annie had been wearing since she first came to Eden Hills long before it was Eden Hills when she was only a few months old. She, Scarlet and Grace were not very friendly, so the human had to lock them in and put whatever collar she could find on them. They never had a new collar, just the leftover whatever was lying around collars.
Now Annie has lived here for for almost four years and become very nice. Last year, she had Sallie, who is standing behind her in the picture.
Isn't this much better? This year she'll have a Marley baby. You can see she is getting fairly close to having her baby. Anyhow, after four years, she lost that icky old collar.
Here Annie shows off not only her pretty new collar but also her flexibility.
