On Guard

I was quite startled to find this fellow leap at me from the window after a few minutes of persistent, but anonymous barking (i couldn't quite figure where the barking was coming from until then). But after much contemplation, i think he decided that this strange creature (that would be me) with the shiny black box slung on her neck is harmless after all. Nevertheless, he didnt flinch from his position until i was well out of sight. It's amazing to find the amount of pride and joy that only dogs seem to take in guarding the house they belong to. But of course, those who have dogs for pets already know all about it :)

  3. You're brave to have stuck around long enough to snap the snappy one.
