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 :)

Concentration I haz it

Meep Meep

Almost there...

Wipe out!





MINE


Cool Down...gotta keep those feet in shape and cool the beast off

Such a hard life she has

Athena had a play date sunday

With this cutie pie! Meet Harley! He is a Lab/Border Collie mix



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


Funny pic of Athenas tongue


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've been saving and watching the price go down on this bad boy. I don't think they will get any lower then 499 so i snatched it up! I can't wait!!!!

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








She is currently 59.1 pounds up from 56.7 when we went in august. My little girl keeps growing!

DNA Results are INNN...Athena Is......

So a while back...well ever since i got Athena i have wondered what she is. My vet and most of my family and friends think Dobie/Shep.....well the DNA is in baby....Athena is....

Pics of the beast

Athena the Klutz

So night before last Athena was relaxing on the couch with my brother. As i walked into the room he said "Get her". Most normal dogs would get up and come over right???? nope not my dog. she flew out of his lap and into the coffee table. Then proceeded to limp over to me. Goof Ball. Only later did we realize that she took off a chunk of her fur and it was bleeding. Way to go Athena! So i cleaned it up and slathered some bag balm on it and clipped the air around the wound so it can heal nicely.

The Damage


I told her no Frisbee until it scabs over. i don't need dirt getting in an open wound and getting infected. So shes moping around the house and getting all the extra love she can. Kids!
