Athena likes to be in the middle of everything...

Girl time

Bo is styling at the park....

Buster and Duke...

Trying to find the best way to get to the Basil...

A day in the life of Athena...

 Stretching to catch the ball....

Ginger in 2011...

she was a sweetie back then too...

I have a new grand baby...

this cute little Kitten...

his name is Duke...

yes...My daughter forgot about the Bunny...

so now we have Kitty Duke...

and Bunny Duke...

Kitty Duke will only come to visit occasionally...

Stringbean loves them all...

 Athena....

What are you up to now???

 Guess who learned to get up on the picnic table....

 knocking over everything....

Athena...don't drink that....

 Athena is growing like a weed...

one day she chubby...

the next day...she has grown an inch...

 she can be such a sweet little girl....

then she is right in the middle of everyone...

chasing...biting....

 when everyone gets tired of her ...

pulling their ears...

tugging on their collars...

she finds something to chew on....

 takes a little nap.....

well sort of....

or finds a stuffy to terrorize....

Have you missed me????

I played a little frisbee golf with my Dad...

Stirring up the dust

 Rooster has had a tough week...

he jumped on Bo...

Bo tried to avoid it...

but he finally had to fight back...

he bit Rooster on the ear...

Bo didn't get a scratch on him...

Bo's ear was sore from Rooster pulling on it...

Hopefully Rooster has learned a lesson...

Don't pick on bigger dogs...

 Saturday we are at the park...

a older couple are walking 3 BIG dogs...

Rooster is playing ball...

Two of the dogs ran towards Rooster...

Hubby grabs Roosters leash...

but the man can't control his dog...

it starts going after Rooster...

pulling the man right behind him...

Hubby lets Rooster go so he can protect himself...

Rooster obeys Hubbys commands...

finally the man gets control of his dog...

I manage to get the leash of the other dog...

Thankfully it was all barking...no biting...

 I think Rooster has learned a big lesson...

when we are out he never goes after dogs...

he tries to stay away from them...

at home he is the King...

he is the Fun Police...

if the other dogs are having too much fun...

he barks at them to tell them to settle down...

 he watches out for Stringbean....

and Athena...

but what he doesn't know...

is Athena is going to be bigger than him...

 He really enjoyed his ball playing...

and I enjoyed my new....faster camera...

Hatari and Athena girls having fun
