Hound in the hoosegow

This dog looked after Bibi and me so forlornly as we passed by him, all locked up in the 'hoosegow.' If you're not familiar with this word, which my grandfather loved to use, check out its meaning right here.

Note: He was in there with some workers, who were painting the interior of what will probably be a small shop.

Oh, he is so elegant and beautiful and glad to know that he has a home. Yes, I know "hoosegow." hehe

Poor guy's in the pokey, eh? I can see why he might be envious of Bibi -:)

Well snap! As you say we both feature 'behind bars' today - I adore this, Bibi. What a gorgeous dog. Afghans are beautiful but will run and run, given the chance. I've got a Saluki pup here at the moment - not dissimlar and also beautiful.

This Afghan is so sad looking or is it just the moment taken out of the context and captured on a picture. Anyhow he should be out side not looking out!
