The triumphant return of Jacques Peacock

After three anxious days without sighting of our synthetic feathered friend, a wing was spotted among the roots of the garden.  Circumstances of the disappearance are unknown but thought to involve a certain suspicious border collie residing in the house.  Jacques was pulled from the mud, ruffled but unharmed, sent through the washer, and is now happily being drooled on for most of the day again.
