Announcing a new "Guard Dog" Series
Guard Dogs Howling at Moon- Painted and carved americana folk art
Yes, it's the birth of a new series, and what more fitting time than at the birth of the New Year, 2008.
These dogs are boilerplate protection against what-have-you.
Hard to tell if they're smiling or snarling.
Tough as nails.
Hardened steel.
Tough enough to do the job but won't hurt your hands.
Chase away Trouble should Trouble come your way.
You won't need them much, but when you need them they're there.
Always on your side.
And it might not be just us who needs them.
The world needs guarding too in these crazy times.
These are the dogs who can do the job.
They're hand picked, not just any dog will do.
Guaranteed.
Thank you my doggies.
Guard Dogs # 13 (Three Fierce Ones)
