This is a detail from "the priest's house" or "the exorcist's house" or "the alchemist's house" in Kings Lynn, a listed building and private residence dating back to the 17th century. The door would have opened into the churchyard of St Nicholas' Chapel. There are a number of stories about the place, as you can guess from it's different names!
Ellie, my beautiful "tiger bear" rescue, origins unknown. Now three years old and a bit small for an ASD (22" at the shoulder, weighing in at approx. 96 lbs.). With a bark that will rattle your ear drums and a very Anatolian ("Why are we doing this, exactly?") attitude to training. Gets on fine with my two older dogs, reactive with other dogs but beginning to chill out with professional training/rehabilitation. Doing really well, increasingly confident and playful after an awful start in life. She paces beside me like a lioness when we go for walks and I couldn't love her more.
