Everyone loves Athena

****Remember until December 10th 2009, your comments= cans of food being donated to our local food bank… so be sure to leave a comment! Its an awesome way to give a little blog love and in return, I’ll give a little food bank love. A wonderful thing!****
Great Dane puppies are sweet. They are adorable. They are ridiculously cute and incredibly deceiving.
You see them and melt. But puppies grow up, don’t they… And grow Athena has! Athena is already, in her few months in the world… has grown to around 50 pounds!
Now thats crazy! (That is more than our Vizsla Frank weighs NOW at a year old)
However, they are known to be big, beautiful, gentle and loving, and that they are. Somewhere along the way, I’ve become a hopeless dog lover. It hasn’t happened overnight, but its happened! This little one is no exception.
Here are a few images of Athena when she came to visit us in October! Are you kidding me with this face????



You may recall images from a long time ago here of Athenas big sister Vala. (see below image)
Vala is now weighing in at a whopping 135 pounds, and they suspect Athena will be bigger than her big sis!
Wild!

Another squishable face…so incredibly adorable yet wise! We used to have a GD when I was a kid – when anyone (well every one actually) would say, “Wow, what a big dog!” my mom would reply, “a dog with a personality this big needs a big body”
