Jasmine Goes Out For A Drink

Jazzy lets us know if she wants to come out with us. When we ask her out we tell her if we're going for a walk, or a hike or a ride (in the car) and of course all of the above involve a picnic, at least for Jazz. We then tell her to get on her wooden perch, which is where she always gets on our hand with an 'up-up' from us. She often joins in saying 'up-up' too and then adds 'You're a good girl!' for good measure. If she happens to be on the wooden perch when we ask, she'll actually get off it if she doesn't want to come. Often, if we've all gone out in the morning, Jazzy doesn't choose to join us in the afternoon. But last Saturday she did.

In the morning we had gone out around town, which you can see in "Jasmine Goes Backpacking". We came home had lunch and then decided to go out for an afternoon jaunt.

We went for a short drive around the countryside and stopped at a cafe for a drink. The sun was shining and it was very warm. Jazzy was feeling the heat a bit. Even though she has water in her bowl in the travel cage she was giving the glass of a water a long interested look.







She needed a drink, so she joined in and had some.
And she guzzled...











And guzzled...


And, well...

(even if they were small droplets)


...guzzled some more.







After she wet her whistle, she felt loads better.


Then we set off into the hills on a short hike.






Jazzy was clambering around as usual.
















After we had gone a ways on the trail, we stopped to feel the cool breeze and listen to the sounds coming from the woods.




It was a gentle, mellow moment.
