Avete omnes,
after some time I finally painted my new house shield with an ironic warning of our little shepherd dog "Holly" (ironic because she is very lovely and I wonder if she would really attack a housebreaker or friendly bring him the house-keys :?

May-be that our CoRat'er Primitivus might recognize the motif. :wink:
To the original from Pompeii I added the famous warning from another Pompeian mosaic, I think both are well-known to most of You:

As I regrettably never learned Latin at school
, so my question to the specialists in our forum is, what could I still add in Latin in order to say: "Here Holly is watching"? "Hic Holly speculas" or "Hic Holly vigilas" or "..."?
Greets and thanks in advance - Uwe
