There's no better way to start the weekend than with a caipirinha. My parents first encountered this sweet and sour drink in Brasil three years ago. My dad puts it up there with a Manhattan as his favorite drink.
It's quite tasty and easy to make...
Start with one lime, cut in quarters (or eighths if a large lime).
Add 2 tablespoons fine sugar and mash with a wooden pestle.
Now it's time to add your alcohol. Throw in about 2 oz. of cachaça.
Add crushed ice, stir and enjoy!
Yuck - I don't like limes. I prefer beer!

Sunday at the Harbor
Yesterday my grandparents took me on a special visit to Dana Point Harbor.
Here I am waiting for my 100-ft. yacht to arrive...
My uncle Rocky came for the walk, so did my crazy cousin Luca the Chihuahua. I have to wear this "gentle lead" harness or else Luca freaks out and makes satanic duck quacking noises.
We all had a great time!
How was your weekend? Do anything exciting?

Cairo Does Beer Blogging
What's that Dad? Smells good!
Can I get a taste?
Aww, come on! Don't hog it all to yourself! Let me have some!
Whoo - one sip knocked me out. That's some strong ale!

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
My new friend Asta is a wire-hair fox terrier who lives in New York City. Recently, she took a car ride to Rhode Island and had fun riding in the backseat.
I, too, enjoy car rides. Here are some pics of my automobile adventures...
I also love sticking my head out the window and feeling the wind in my face. My mommy laughs because my ears and jowls flap in the wind.

Canine Intrudes World Cup
I was hoping to become the first canine participant at a World Cup competition. Unfortunately, I just learned that the honor is already taken. A scruffy black dog played in the England-Brazil match during the 1962 World Cup:
Well, at least I'll be the first Boxer when I play. But which team should I play for? I live in the United States, I understand Spanish and English, I'm named after an Egyptian capital and my breed is from Germany.

A Peculiar Pug
Can you pee upside down?
I'm not sure why but this male pug in Changchun, China prefers to do his business upside down. Looks rather difficult and uncomfortable to me. Any of you guys out there do this?

Cairo Meets Cooper
My friend Cassidy and her parents met some Boxer owners at our local dog park last week. Their female just had litter of eight puppies. The puppies were now eight weeks old and up for sale.
Cassidy's parents got her a little brother! His name is Cooper:
Both Cooper and Cassidy came to visit on Sunday. Here I am checking him out...
I don't know why he was scared of me. I only whacked him on the head a few times.
After he left I grew worried. Were my parents going to get a new Boxer puppy? Would I be replaced by a younger, cuter model? I started acting really affectionate with my parents in hope of convincing them not to get another puppy, so that I could remain the top dog - the alpha female!
Apparently my plan worked. My parents decided not to get another dog for the time being. They said they enjoy just having me right now (and that the house is too small for two humans and two dogs!).

It's a Hard Knock Life
I typically enjoy lounging on the couch and watching TV. However, this week I had to endure some awful programming, and my ears have not yet recovered from the damage.
First, I watched some of the president's State of the Union speech. Isn' t this the same speech he gave the last two years in a row? Boring boring boring! And not one mention of canine suffrage or doggie civil rights. Then I watched some of the American Idol auditions. My ears are still ringing from the horrible wannabe singers. I need to learn how to operate the remote control. Next time this crap comes on the television I'm changing the channel!
