Amazing Athena!

[Karen]

What a surprise it was to get your nomination, Athen, and we are so happy to be able to feature you - you are the first arachnid wearing a Santa hat we have ever had nominated for Pet of the Day! And you even got to meet Santa, and have the photographic proof! I sonde if you are the first tarantula that has ever gotten to meet Santa! You really are a beauty, and we can see why your mom was doe cited to get you, after looking for so long. And we know you are as loved as a spider could be - and that was even before you gave her the birthday present of an egg sac! Wow, that is a lot of babies, thank goodness she knew how to care for them once they hatched! You look best with the green hat, I think, Athena - it shows off your reddish coloring perfectly! Congratulations, you are our Christmas Eve Pet of the Day!

Happy Pet of the Day, beautiful Athena, and Merry Christmas to you, your mom and family!:)

I can't tell you how happy I was, Jewel, to see your precious Athena being honored here today!!! She already was a local celebrity, her story and pic with Santa having been heralded by the newspaper! And now the whole world knows what you've know all along, just how special she is! I didn't know that, that she gifted you with eggs on your birthday!:D A special girl, that she is, and so very blessed to have you as her devoted guardian!

Happy Pet of the Day and a very Merry Christmas, Athena! I know your mom has some extra special festivities planned for you and the kids today and tomorrow, so enjoy!:D Love to you, beautiful Athena, our very special and most deserving Christmas Eve honoree! Love, Sandra:love::love::love:
