Two More Angels

These two little fur balls are always up to something cute. My angelic acrobat, Athenais, immediately set upon my easel, (recently put to use in the living room), as the latest goal for her gymnastic aspirations. Her excitement was palpable as she assessed her options for conquering this Everest of canvas and wood; she circled the easel several times, sat upon her haunches and motioned with her forelegs her desire to climb and then, without further hesitation, clambered up the armoire and over to the top of my painting. You can see her enthusiasm. She spent about ten minutes upon her conquered pinnacle awaiting our amazement and praise.








Monsieur Bouvier, on the other hand, is overjoyed when he finds Mark and I alone together in the living room. He snakes between our legs, back and forth, for some serious petting and scratching, and after a few minutes of personal grooming, plops himself upon the carpet and spreads eagle for us. Exposing his belly is quite a compliment to his feeling safe, welcome and loved, and of course it's hilarious, too!
