Meet Athena! She is a Rottweiler/Lab mix. I have had the opportunity to dog sit this beautiful girl for a little over a week now and I adore her. I get to be her adoptive mom until January 2013. She is not quite a year old. She is crazy, hyper and not trained at all. But she is also sweet, loving and so playful. I've had my ups and downs with her as I try to train her and help her be the best dog she can be. She's had me laughing so hard my stomach hurts. She's had my in tears with frustration. And she's had me feeling like I am the best dog owner ever. She looks me right in the eyes. She burrows her sweet head into me when she's in a lovey mood or when she's in trouble. And she snuggles right against me when I am sick -- she even sat right next to the toilet when I was sick the other day. She's incredible. She had not been trained much at all and in just over a week, I've taught her to sit, lay, stay (she's working on it) and to get and stay in her kennel. We are working hard on "Come" and having her always go potty outside. I seriously am in love with this baby girl. I know it may seem weird to some, but I think I need her in my life right now.
I am also dog-sitting Athena's brother. His name is Zeus. He is a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix. He's pretty hilarious. Zeus is calm and kinda lays around a lot. My favorite thing about Zeus is that he likes to sleep under the covers and right up against me. Cute little guy...
