Athena cleared quarantine yesterday and spent the day getting acquainted with Anara. It was not a love at first sight friendship as one would hope for in this tale. Instead it was a carefully orchestrated meet, greet, distance, meet, greet, distance. Athena clearly missed out on some valuable puppy socializations lessons and Anara clearly was ready to clue her in on proper puppy manners. Some things in life though are worth working toward. Both Anara and Athena desperately want attention, play and socialization. Getting along with each other would positively impact both of their lives. By mid afternoon the dogs were running, playing, wrestling and chasing each other around the yard. Play time is kept short and offered frequently to minimize any disagreements and to give each dog space.
Athena had her vet visit today at Animal Doctors. She did really well and was a very happy puppy. She was appropriate, well behaved and delightful to be with. She is more likely to be closer to six months old than four. She has lost all her puppy teeth and has a full set of adult teeth. She weighed in at 28.4 lbs. She is getting to be a big girl J
