Oddest thing you have found in your garden.

Once found a raccoon out back, being pestered by dogs barking at it. Shoo'd them away, and discovered a blue collar on it. Was someone's pet that got lost..., was pretty friendly and got it to get into a stable til the ISPCA came to pick it up, as it should've been microchipped and that they'd be able to track down it's owner.
Was odd finding a raccoon, in Ireland - so yeah...

A couple of large live turkeys walking along the wall of my front garden, about 7 or 8 years ago. I live in a housing estate in Dublin, so it's not like there are farms or anything nearby. In school that day I told a friend (who lived near me) about them and she was convinced I was either lying or hallucinating - until she got home that evening and found them in her garden

Not from me but a friend of mine.
One night after a few pints in the local he was walking home, his house was down a laneway and had a huge grassy area in front of the house. During the summer months he would cut across the large front garden usually to be greeted by his small black dog welcoming him home.
On one particular summers night whilst returning from the pub, he cut across his front garden as usual, in the middle of it was what he assumed to his dog, he walked over to it and gave him a rub on the back as usual, only be met with a low growling noise. in his pissed state he told the dog to go **** himself for growling at him, and walked to the front door. When he opened the front door his dog was already inside waiting for him. When he looked back out into the garden it was a large badger he had been rubbing and told to **** off . 0 -

Woah, he is lucky to have escaped a nasty bite.
I remember as a child a bull often escaped and walked into out back yard (it was a new house at the time and no fencing).0 -

A horse. Someone had left it on the green in our estate and it decided to visit our garden. That and some of the odd things my dog brings home including and not limited to dummies, wallets and My Little Ponies.I want your dog. I wish my dog brought home my little ponies.
I wish my dog brought home wallets.
I've been known to bring dummies home myself.0 -

He was a legend
How did he manage that? Did they know he had taken them?0 -

They'd be holding the bag in their hands, walking home and he'd run up behind them, grab it and run off. My uncle witnessed him doing it one night coming home from the pub but did not own up that he knew the dog!
My granny was terrible, she let him wander all over the place and he got up to a lot of mischief. This was years ago though.

A legend indeed.
And your uncle is a very intelligent man.0 -
