Athena made it home safe and whole, Thank God! She survived her flights and the incredible journey. She is in Hawaii and acclimating to her new environment. She is going through the same transition we went through....Hawaii is way HOTTER than Anchorage!!!!!! (Especially this time of year!!!!) She spends most of her days resting and trying to keep cool. She is a shedding monster....we have filled up over 1/2 a grocery sack with hair from brushing. We think she is also missing the Burson's a bit. Which is a good thing, I think we'd all be sad if she didn't.
Jillian is crazy about Athena! The first night was a little exciting....Jillian was whacked in the face by an Athena tail within the first 30 seconds of greeting, this was something Jillian had forgotten about Athena. Her tail is lethal!!! Jillian is acclimating to life with a dog and they are both doing great! Athena is extra gentle and tolerant with Jillian. And Jillian is loving playing with her.
At the airport....Athena flew on Aloha (cargo) from Honolulu to Kona. Here is the guy bringing Athena around on a forklift.
The kennel was much too big to fit in our trunk or back seat...even with the seats folded down. So, we improvised and strapped it to the hood. If you look closely, the 2 green dots in the windshield are Athena eyes. :) Thank goodness we live 5 miles (or less) away.

My heart swells up with love when I see these pictures of Athena with your precious family! We have some pictures we need to send you guys still. We have some pictures of Athena on our new digital frame I got for Mother's Day. It brings back a flood of emotions at times and catches us off guard. You said it best Jen, it is nice Athena has two families that love her! I love hearing how Jillian has a playmate now and wants Athena whereever she is playing :) That is so cute! We love you guys & we were glad we could help in Athena's journey/adventure to Hawaii. We can't wait to see you guys in about 3 weeks! Love, JOY
