athena the doggie goddess

a dog named athena

a dog in a cage pulls at your heartstrings. i wish we could take better care of our animal brethren so that there were no unwanted pets. this little gal has the most soulful eyes that pierce into your heart. i had to show her to my friend lisa(who really really loves dogs). sure enough lisa was smitten and the story has a happy ending.

athena had a rough start in life. her hind legs were seriously injured in an unknown accident(a car perhaps) and she did not get veterinary care. eventually she was taken into foster care and received some treatment. she probably have leg issues the rest of her life. i am optimistic that love and time will help heal her injuries and she will be able to run with the pack.

athena is going to a great family and i am so happy that athena is being given another chance for happiness even though she is "damaged" and not perfect. i think we all deserve this chance in life-every single one of us.

i was tempted to leave my teenager in the cage and let someone else have her. love overcomes all and i ended up adopting her again and taking her home as well.
