On Guard

In an attempt to remind myself that security can be both fashionable and functional I’ve collected a few photos of local homes which play host to guardsmen as smart as English Royal Guards and twice as sweet.

Some are quite sophisticated...
This is one of a pair of bronze dogs, Greyhounds I think, flanking a stately entrance of a home in Georgetown once occupied by J.F.K. and Jackie before presidency.

Some are crafted in the form of sophistication, but of much more modest material...


Classic Foo Dogs...


Adorable...



Sly...


Slightly creepy...


And, we round out the tour with a beer (or more) at Nellies who also employes a watch dog...
