| Athena was Bob's baby, from the night she was born, as she lay snuggled in his shirt at the veterinarian emergency room, while her mother underwent a Caesarean delivery. He showed her at six months to a best of breed, and was dumped the next day when she refused to walk on a leash (ending Bob's show career). She was top dog for sixteen years, remaining incredibly strong and athletic until shortly before she left us at almost 17. Athena produced very few puppies but two, Shogun and Gaea, have forever left their mark on the breed. Her granddaughter Galadriel, also tough, possessive, and beautiful, promised to keep Bob in line for her, demanding her place at the head of bed while the others stay at the foot. Athena has the distinction of being the mother of the first female American Eskimo to earn an AKC Championship. |
