Fun Filled Frisbee Weekend

This weekend had odd weather. I woke up to hail on Saturday and then rain most of the day. Then Sunday i woke up to overcast sky and what looked like rain. And poor Athena was driving me Insane with her "Lets play frisbee" Whine, yes she has a specific whine for it now. But suturday afternoon turned out to be clear, but windy. The sun dried the mud out nicely so we played Frisbee. And i got to get a feel for my neeeewwwww camera :)

It was such a blast being around a puppy again. Made me miss the good ole days. Athena had a blast playing with him.

Although she didnt want to share HER Frisbee she showed Mr. Harley the tricks of the trade.

Harley had his own Frisbee though and Surprisingly Athena left it be!

I think Athena really enjoyed having a dog that would chase her around. Most dogs give up after a few rounds, but Harley kept going.
Playing keep away

I loved watching Harley stalk athena. He'd crouch down low walk a few steps then plop down as flat as he could. Then do it again until he got close enough to pounce on Athena LOL. I think that is his border collie side coming out for sure!

New Camera!!!!

I'm psyched! I ordered my newwwww camera yay! The Canon EOS Rebel XS shall be at my door by friday. I would have had free shipping, but that would mean i have to wait until next tuesday. So i paid 5 bucks for 3 day shipping to have it by the weekend! *dances around*

For those who are thinking "A what now?"

I'll be taking a photo class this summer too so ill really learn how to use it properly!!

Who says little dogs can't do agility?

Oh...That's right i said that LOL. Stupid Maks proving me wrong!

Who would have thought this sunbathing boy

Would want to do agility? Granted he probably just wanted treats, but i decided to try it with him.


I guess he's not so bad. He did it with out treats later last night. Forgive my makeshift jump i'm making some nice ones this weekend :)

Happiness is.....

One thing that makes me super happy is hearing from the vet that Athena is one of the most athletic healthy dogs hes seen in a long time! She passed her yearly exam with Flying colors! She even didn't embarrass me at the vets office. She walked nicely at my side and said hello to everyone politely.

Happiness to Athena? Frisbee of course
