Athena's Sweet 16






That's right! My little girl turned 16 in May ( we are guessing May is her birthday)! She has already had such an adventurous life. Traveling cross country twice, visiting california, the sonoran desert, the gulf coast and even living in New Orleans for several years.
Tough times too. Last year was very hard for her. She had 4 surgeries for tumors last year, 1 emergency room visit for getting attacked by our now dear friend marley, lost her tail and could grow back her hair. Luckily she is healing well, no more tumors have come up and after a year her hair is finally growing in thick and even! Whew! We were afraid she would'nt make it another month this winter but she is the strongest animal i have ever met.
She is the sweetest, gentlest creature i have ever known as well and my very best friend.
So we wanted to make her birthday a celebration of her life. Most of our family came to celebrate with us, doning lots of fabulous gifts for the Sweet 16 princess.
Well pictures are worth a thousand words, so here they go.
