Queenie ‘protecting’ the park with the National Guard

Members of the National Guard are in Lincoln Park every day, walking the large perimeter over and over again. Nobody knows why they’re there — it’s a very peaceful neighborhood park full of dogs and their humans and people enjoying being outdoors in the middle of the city. Maybe they’re looking for unleashed dogs or dogs on leashes longer than 6 feet so the owners can be fined or jailed (see previous picture for the official warning).

Shopping center’ on the DQ when we lived there, posted earlier:

I suppose they free up the police for more serious stuff, like maybe a day off. It's good to see
Queenie helping out.

I find the guards in the background sobering; thank goodness Queenie is taking it lightly! Great shot of your girl. V

I trust you measured Queenie's leash carefully. But would these guys be brave enough to take on an owner armed with a dog?

What ever their mission Queenie seems delighted to take her selfie with them.

Queenie seems not fazed by their presence. What a great expression on her face.

I'm glad the crime rate is down in DC, but the NG should go to Memphis, Tenn., or Kansas City, Mo. to really do anything. Love the dog close up! V
