Golden Retriever night light - Part 8

This project is completed. Having said that for now it's using a simple 2 cell battery pack with switch as I'm waiting for the LED strip light with controller to arrive, same as that used in the Samoyed night light - see previous posts.

Bella to vet again

Ongoing issues with some sort of parasitic invasion around her crop and neck.



LED string lights delivered

Arrived today and I'm thinking of using them instead of the regular fairy LED's for silhouette lighting.
