Left: Lew & Athena on 12/26/00 - Our second year anniversary (and Athena's Birthday).
So what's our story? First Came Athena - Born 12/26/97 - Against all odds, Athena came into my life the day after Christmas, 1998. What a WONDERFUL day that was. Sometime during the first days of December 1998, I decided to call the animal shelter in El Cajon, to ask if they had any Chihuahuas. I was told that they did not. I decided to go there anyway. In the very last kennel, hiding in the back, was an extremely shy, Chihuahua/Miniature Pinscher mix. When I inquired about the shy little dog in the last pen, I was told I would be the fourth person on the list. Though it didn't seem likely, I did put my my name on the list. I was told that she was so shy, that they had considered putting her to sleep, because they thought she would be too difficult to adopt. Thankfully, they did not.
Then Came Doc Holliday - Born 11/26/99 - Doc Holliday became a major part of my life January 9, 2000. He was a Christmas gift from my mother. Like Athena, Doc Holliday is a Chihuahua/MinPin mix. In this picture, the sweater he is wearing is actually a sock cut in half (very cute I must say).
And one last thing, if your puppy is a bit rebellious, do not leave your car keys unattended!
If you have a dsl/cable connection (or a lot of time), you may want to look at these quick clips of Doc Holliday & Athena playing on January 20, 2002: Movie1, Movie2, Movie3, Movie4, Movie5. Many thanks to James for the films.
Sadie, Athena, Sam, Kobie, and Doc are finally apprehended and placed behind bars! Isn't it strange how the females are off to one side, and the males to the other?
