Waking up with Jackie and Angel

Yesterday morning I took a few pictures of Jackie and Angel when we woke up. I don't know why, maybe I was bored. But it worked out well for you because now I can post the pictures here...

That's Jackie cleaning her toes. She usually stays deep under the covers until I come out of the shower. I betcha never knew she was an under-cover dog.

Papa is usually pretty anxious to get down off the bed, and start his busy day of napping and barking. The trouble is, he's chicken. I don't like for him to jump off anyway. Ever since I found out he has some problems with his spine, I try to make sure he doesn't do anything to aggravate it. I am pretty well versed in the conditions of the spine, and I'll do whatever I can to either fully protect him from it, or at least slow it down. I am happy to say he hasn't seemed to have any more trouble with his back since that first episode over a year ago, but I know he has some mild osteophytes so I figure an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Or something like that.

Once they have been outside to do what they need to do, Angel and Jackie get their breakfast, and then lounge on their big ol' bed in my living room for a while until it's time for me to go to work. Sometimes it's a little difficult to get them to go out back, but usually they just run right out the door and see who will get the choice spot first. (In case you were wondering, it's usually Jackie who gets the best spot. She will even make Mariah move out of her way if Jackie wants that particular spot.

Angel gets in one last snuggle before I head off to work. I guess he loves his daddy.

Before I go I thought I would mention my little sweetie-pie, Jackie the long hair chihuahua will be celebrating her fourth birthday this month, so look for her annual birthday post sometime around the 24th.

And go say hi to Jackie, Angel, and Mariah at the Official Angel and Jackie Webcam. It's freeeeeeeee!

So there ya go, another happy day with Jackie and Angel.
Remember more dogs can be found at the Friday Ark at The Modulator, so go check them out.
