The Life of Athena

Updates

Wow, how fast the time goes. Achilles and I are doing good. We gave our mommy another scare and ended up with worms, how gross is that? According to my mom, it is pretty darn gross. The vet said we could have picked them up anywhere, on our walks, hikes, little sips of water from the creek, even the dog park. My mom is putting her vote in the dog park, although we have lots and lots of fun and enjoy playing with our friends, there are water pails all over the park being used by many pups. Who knows, my mom tells us we are worse than children (doesn't she realize we are still babies, 9 months old is barely walking age BOL) Achilles and I are taking the right meds and are worm free (hopefully furever). Achilles and I started our puppy classes and they seem to be going well. Three more classes until graduation, I am so excited. When the classes first started Achilles was the star, but lately I have been stepping out and shining all on my own, my mommy sure is proud of me. Well, I better get to sleep, its pretty late and after a long stay at the dog park running around and around and around, I am tired. Promise to write more soon.

Summer

Wow, this summer has been so much fun so far. We had company from Ohio for three whole weeks, it was great. We have been hiking on the weekends, really early in the morning since it is so hot during the mid morning and afternoons. We still take a nice walk in the evenings as well. Last night was sort of scary, we had just finished our walk, got back in the truck and started on our way home, all of a sudden mommy yells, "snake", " I think you ran over it". Our daddy of course being the nature man he is turned around and went back to see if he did run over the snake. Well it turned out he didn't, he was coiled up in the middle of the street. Achilles and I wanted out of the truck so bad, but mommy made us stay. Our daddy got a stick and tried to help the snake get across the street. The snake was not a rattle snake but it was about 4 feet long, our daddy is so brave, he was able to help it get across the street before any other car's came and ran over it. Well, I just wanted to write something to let you know I am still around. We are just having so much fun growing up it hard to get an extra minute. Will write more soon, my paws are tired now.
