To cut a long story short, I eventually found it hidden under Nellie's Granny's mattress. Now I know beyond doubt that 'Granny' wouldn't have done that. Then I saw a pair of devilish beady eyes watching me from the doorway, grinning, and I twigged who was really responsible.... naughty Nellie again.
What is it about dogs and lights? I had a manic springer staying a while back and was careful to put everything interesting (so I thought) out of reach as I know she 'collects' things. I didn't think to move my head torch from the windowsill. I found it totally dismantled from chewing a while later…So Nellie is not so naughty after all!

No, thankfully she hadn't chewed it at all, just hidden it in Izzy's bed. Whether she had put it there for later, or maybe she thought Iz would get the blame - who knows.
I knew its wasn't an Izzy-type crime though.

Perhaps she was just trying to see how it worked ?

Re: Naughty Nellie!

I was down the garden today, feeding the wild birds, and as I turned round the come back indoors, I saw in the grass - my blessed plug-in night light again.
Didn't walk down there on its own, did it. I know the culprit.

I'd plugged the hoover in and must have put the night light on the floor by the socket. That Nellie Bellie don't miss a thing - swine.
