Welcome Athena

Since Athena joined our pack earlier this week, she's done wonderfully. She's a very sweet, mild- mannered girl. She's getting along great with Shadow and Kelly and is a bit afraid of the cats. She sleeps peacefully through the night and her appetite has been improving daily.

Like any greyhound, she loves her treats and this afternoon we discovered that she can catch them if you toss them to her. She has a lovely lush coat with a pretty little wave between her shoulder blades. Put a coat on her this morning and she went willingly out in the snow, particularly along the fence where the birds and squirrels hang out. She had a "conversation" with a mixed breed black dog that lives two yards over and tried to get Kelly to play with her by bouncing back and forth in a playbow, but Kelly's reserving judgment.

She had a much needed dental on Friday and it hasn't slowed her down a bit. By supper time, she was chewing on a rawhide.
