Description
This sausage dog watering can brings a smile to a simple job. It is moulded in HDPE plastic in the shape of a long, low dachshund in warm brown, with floppy ears, round eyes, a little black nose and four short legs. A curved handle arches over its back, so the whole dog is the can. It holds approximately 2 litres and measures 34cm long, 10cm wide and 19.5cm tall, and it weighs just 0.202KG empty, so it is easy to pick up and carry.
At around 2 litres it is sized for everyday watering rather than a whole allotment: topping up pots by the back door, a tray of seedlings, herbs on the kitchen windowsill or houseplants around the home. Its slim 10cm body slips easily between pots on a crowded shelf, so it is handy in a small space. It is a cheerful addition to a balcony, a greenhouse bench or a potting shed, and it looks every bit as good standing among your plants between waterings as it does at work. It brings a little character to even the plainest corner.
Made from HDPE plastic, it is light to handle and simple to look after. Rinse it through with clean water now and then, empty it after use and wipe the outside with a damp cloth to keep the brown looking fresh. When it is not in use, stand it on a level surface on all four legs, where it holds its pose like a patient pet waiting for a walk. For a gift, we like to fill a basket with a packet of seeds, a few small terracotta pots and this little dog, and the giving is done. On a windowsill of herbs or a step of potted bulbs, it earns its place every single day.
