The Morning Walk with Jacqueline and Angel

It occurred to me this morning that I have never written about the morning walks that Angel, Jacqueline, and I perform every morning. Being that I have written about the old walk, and the walk in the park, I thought it fitting to include an entry about our morning walk.

Every morning, save for those involving inclement weather or bad health, Angel and Jacqueline accompany me to the nearby newspaper stand on the corner of the block we live on. It makes for a nice little morning walk that gets our blood moving.

Accoutrements
The walking accoutrements include not only the obligatory leashes, but a can of pepper spray as well. I have heard too many horror stories of loose dogs attacking smaller dogs to ever leave the house without it.
Faces
Both Angel and Jackie are anxious to get going in the morning.
All_Ready
Jackie waits as Angel gets ready to go.
Magic_Door
I swear Angel thinks the door opens magically. I think he gets the idea from watching Star Trek every day.
Sky
Look at the pretty morning sky.
News
Jackie checks her own news while Angel scouts out a good place to... um.. "go".
Paper_Stand
Where daddy gets his news, and where Angel sometimes leaves some of his own.

And that was all we had room for on the memory card.

Check in next week for a new chapter in The Adventures of Angel and Jacqueline. And don't forget to check out the Carnival of the Dogs at Mickey's Musings, and the Friday Ark at The Modulator for more interesting animals.

I too worry about big dogs.. and came very close to getting attacked one day while walking my wee poodle, Emma. I have never thought of using pepper spray.. but am now going to look into getting some. Thank you.

Hope all their news was good news. Early mornings, I don't do them very well. Neither does Max. He is often restless at night but then early morning shows up yawning, stretching and generally disheveled.

Hi you guys!
Great site...but I don't want you to think all big dogs are bad. I really like little dogs and can play without squishing you. I promise I will also protect you against mean big dogs. Most of them are afraid of me. But not most little dogs!
I hope I see you again soon,
Your friend,
Larry Olaf
