Athenamama: Angel and Jacqueline on Their Afternoon Walk

Angel and Jacqueline on Their Afternoon Walk

Yesterday was a wee bit on the cool side, so Angel and Jacqueline both got to wear their sweaters for our afternoon walk. I decided to take my camera with me, and so below are a couple of pictures of them at various stages along our usual route. I had forgotten that I put the smaller memory card that came with my camera in it the night before because I was experimenting with some of the settings, and needed the original card to take panorama pictures. (The panorama setting will only work with the OEM card for some reason.)

To my surprise there were a couple of pictures of Athena still on the card that I had forgotten about. Those pictures were taken almost exactly two years ago; just seven months before she died. They aren�t the greatest pictures ever taken of her, but I put them at the end of this post just for the hell of it.

So, without further ado, Angel and Jacqueline on their afternoon walk.

This is Angel at the beginning of our walk. He looks rather dapper in his little blue sweater, and is already to strut his stuff for the little bitches we are sure to encounter!

Angel and Jacqueline police the area.

Looks like we may have found something. Too bad I saw them find it and made them leave whatever it is alone. Angel will eat whatever little treasures he may find along the pathway, and he is pretty sneaky about it too. If I don�t realize he is after something before he gets it into his mouth, it�s as good as his. This time, he lost out.

When we reach the grassy area, Angel smiles a little for the camera.

But soon he�s back looking for hidden treasure.

While I was busy trying to get a decent picture of Angel, Jacqueline was helping herself to a few small myoporum flowers that were littered about the grass. If you click here, you can watch a short Qucktime movie of her eating them. You must have Quicktime installed on your computer to watch this movie.

That was all the room I had on my camera for pictures. Now for the pictures of Athena that were already on the memory card.

This is Athena on my old, ratty computer desk.

Here she is again looking rather bored with the whole process.

Well, that�s all for now. I guess we learned today that a straight guy can walk two small dogs in sweaters in public without worrying about what other people may think.

Or something.

Little dogs have to stay warm for their walks, and might as well look good doing it. :)

I'm glad you found some pictures of Athena you forgot you had taken. She was such a beautiful kitty. It's always such a bittersweet treat to find such "forgotten" pictures of a beloved pet who has passed on.

Jacqueline must have been looking especially good yesterday in her sweater. A man we met walking his short-hair chihuahua asked if we would be interested in breeding! I said no, that Jacqueline has been "fixed". She is so tiny I wouldn't put her through the trauma of birth anyway.

I think they are both darling! And, maybe it's just because I love blue, but I think Angel looks particularly striking in the blue sweater! :)

Angel does look pretty good in his sweater. The blue against his white coat is indeed striking.

That, and he's just a handsome little man!
