Cairo!

Cairo!, originally uploaded by Tall Pines Lodge.

MM's little pup, Cairo has been visiting Tall Pines while his daddy's been out of town. Cairo and I were roommates back in San Francisco back when he was a new-born pup, fresh off a non-stop flight from Dallas, nothing more than a few pounds of new dog.

Since then, he's all grown up, and like MM and myself, migrated back east. He's been here for a few weeks and tomorrow he goes back to the city. Of course, he's been great to have and I'll miss having him up here with me at the house.

I'm sorry, what? Yes, that's right -- he's a pure bred Pharaoh Hound. A 2004 model. He's relaxing on the balcony, pictured.
