Athena, Angel in Disguise

Video of Athena

My dearest and most loyal friend passed on recently.  She was an amazing inspiration, so full of love and extremely resilient.  She had four major surgeries last year to remove tumors but the cancer took control in the end.

In her lifetime Athena traveled cross country twice, seeing more sites than most Americans ever dream of.  During her time here she lived in New Orleans, Iowa and Atlanta, met the love of her life and gave birth to 8 beautiful puppies.  She made friends with everyone she met and I never once saw her fight with another dog.

Here is a video of her in her last days. She was so full of life you would have no idea she was ill.  She passed into the next world a few days later, still smiling and happy as ever despite her pain.
