Athena's Halloween Walk
I took Athena on a walk after school. She saw this display in a neighbor's yard and barked like crazy. Dale said he thought it was all due to the Micky Mouse vampire. I think it was the giant spider that did it.

Sophie and the Frankenstein Monster
As a small puppy Sophie was sometimes afraid of the dark. There is a particular two block stretch near the cemetery on which she didn't like travel when dark although this got somewhat better as she got older. There was also a plastic light-up Frankenstein monster that would appear in a yard near our house around Halloween that she didn't like either. It was usually in the early morning light when she'd hesitate as we came within a few houses of it. She was all to eager to get by. I haven't seen this particular household display this Frankenstein in a number of years but just a few nights ago I spotted it again while walking Athena. It brought back memories and really made me miss Sophie. I snapped this photo of the creature:

Athena Loves Vegetables
Dale cooked up some yummy frozen vegetables for Athena tonight. Here she eagerly awaits them as they are prepared for her.

Athena Eats Ice
I dropped an ice cube while making a martini tonight. Athena bolted into the kitchen. Sophie was never intrigued by ice so I figured Athena would sniff it and walk away. Instead, she devoured it.

Athena and the Frisbee
Dale took Athena to St. Joe's yesterday and texted me writing:
"Athena has a skill! I took her to St. Joe's to run a bit. She found a frisbee. I threw it, she caught it and ran back to me and gave it to me to throw again!"
We took her back again today and she found the same frisbee. Here's some video footage of her retrieving it.
We never tried playing frisbee with Sophie although we did attempt to get her to retrieve tennis balls. Poor dear wasn't very good at it. She rarely brought the ball back and if she did, she wouldn't let you have it back.
