When it rains, Barney can't go out into the backyard as he gets his feet coated with mud. While barking at a neighbors cat he can compress mud into his paws and it takes a long time with a garden hose to clean it out. So I walk him on those days. But even though he is stuck inside, he is still on duty. The bay window in the living room is his main spot to direct the traffic that goes by our house. He usually can depend on his ears to hear invaders so he doesn't have to sit there all day. Just when he hears something does he then jump into action. He is not afraid of most things while doing window duty. The twin four year olds on bikes are especially needy of being barked at and warned that he is guarding this house.
The bay window has always caused me trouble in photographing as the east light is so strong. The bottom photo shows Barney's true handsome colors.

Barney has a guard post beautiful and very comfortable !
Barney looks like a very cool dog. I'm not a fan of the little yippy dogs. The bigger the better, but Great Danes eat too much...
