Athena’s Heart

Athena waits by the old oak tree,
Eyes like the stars, wild and free.
Her coat, a mix of earth and sky,
Glows with the warmth of days gone by.

With every step, she’s by my side,
In her, I find where love abides.
A gentle nudge, a patient stare,
She speaks a language pure and rare.

Through storm and sun, she never strays,
A steadfast friend in all my days.
Her loyalty, a steady light,
Guides me through the darkest night.

No need for words, no need for praise,
Athena’s heart was a constant blaze.
In every wag, in every leap,
She promises a love so deep.

And when the world feels cold and vast,
I know she’s there, my faithful guide.
Athena loyal, strong, and accurate,
A bond that time could not undo.

Thank you, my loyal companion.
Tony.

Following a thorough evaluation, the veterinarian decided against amputation for Athena, as she was not deemed an ideal candidate for a three-legged dog. The cyst was removed, and her quality of life will be closely monitored. If the cyst does not return, her prognosis is good. However, if the cyst reappears, we will reassess the situation and make decisions in the best interest of Athena's well-being. Thank you

Athena needed surgery on her left back-leg. However, surgery was delayed because the vet found more problems. The final decision: the vet will amputate the leg because Athena would live and have a better quality of life as a three-legged dog. It will take some time for Athena to adapt, heal, and function normally. A new journey starts, and we, Athena and I, will walk it and overcome this difficult time. The amputation will be tomorrow morning. She will come back home on Friday or Saturday. We have challenging times ahead. Pray for us. Thank you, and we love you all.

I have had many CPR classes over the last few years but was never told this…..
Have you ever thought about it ❤️
When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you going to do then?
A rarely good post that can't be shared often enough:
1.
Take a 2-minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm, and you're driving home after a tough day's work.
2.
You are exhausted and frustrated.
All of a sudden, your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.
3.
Unfortunately, you don't know if you can make it.
4.
Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.
5.
How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
6.
But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.
7.
Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs, and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the proper treatment
8.
Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.
9. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often, they have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line, plus sudden fatigue.
Instead of posting jokes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message.
