A different kind of guest post: hello from Mike and Phoenix from Reno, US

Look at this smile! Isn't it the cutest ever? This is Phoenix. He lives with his owner Mike in Reno, US (a place that looks so interesting and so American). I met Mike and Phoenix through their blog: Past My Curfew. They both have been my pen (email) pals. Mike is one of the most supportive bloggers I have ever met and by publishing this post I hope I can return many favours he has done for me in the recent past. This is just a proof how blogging can be a great way to meet new people...and cute dogs, too!

They are still together!
