Beautiful Angel Goddess Athena~
To the family of beautiful Angel Goddess Athena~
It's always a bittersweet day when a beautiful Rainbow Bridge girl or boy is crowned Dog of the Day; so honored to have the chance to pay tribute to a beloved family member, but heartbroken knowing their special one has earned her/his angel wings. And I have to admit, having shared my life with 3 incredible Labs/Retrievers, learning that Athena is no longer with her family, extra painful.
What a beautiful black Lab your beloved Athena was, a Goddess on earth and now in heaven. She truly was the quintessential Lab: beautiful, loyal and loving to a fault, smart as a whip (that sneaky snake exchange, hehe), active and athletic, with an unequaled love for the beach, water and swimming, not to mention fishing! And when it comes to your Athena, brave to boot! She truly went above and beyond heroic, protecting you from those two mountain lions!:eek:
I'm so very, very sorry you no longer have her there with you in body, sharing those happy times. But how very blessed you were, having known her love and companionship those wonderful 13 years. And I do hope you take comfort in knowing that your beautiful Goddess waits patiently for you at the Rainbow Bridge, romping happy and healthy once more until that wonderful day when you and she are together once more, forever and always. Until then she lives on in your hearts and cherished memories, never to be forgotten.

I miss her every day. I hope she is waiting for me. Like they say: if there are no dogs on heaven, I want to go where they are! We love you Athena; today and always.
Our furkids brings so much comfort and joy, love and laughter to our lives, and in Athena you were truly were blessed with the best of the best. As you say, she was beautiful to the core, inside and out, one in a million. More than a pet, or even a best friend, she was family; your Dog of the Day EVERY day; your Dog of a Lifetime!!!:love::love::love:
To Athena, sweet Goddess girl~
Your Dad/Mom shared such a beautiful, love filled tribute with us, along with so many heart-melting photos; so proud of their precious pup. And proud for good reason, for a family couldn't hope for more in a furred family member. As your Dad/Mom says this is your special day, sweetheart, and no doubt all of our fur angels there at the Bridge (including my beloved Labs Jingles and Star), are hosting you one blow out day of celebration, a day filled all of your fave activities...a car ride; a romp on the beach and a swim in the lake, maybe a little fishing; a buffet replete with all of your fave foods and treats and so much more! And Athena, sweet Goddess girl, do send down your love, a sign to your humans to comfort them. They miss you so very much.
Beautiful Athena *tears*
