I think her ears are just fine. I guess everyone has an opinion and your neighbor expressed theirs. Its your opinion that matters,though.

Tyson sure is a cutie with those bat ears! I lol'd. Thats amazing since the coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

Since Athena is still a pup I wouldn't worry too much about her having a couple extra pounds. How long/far do you walk her in a day? Since you mentioned a leg problem I would be a bit cautious about working her too hard unless the vet says its ok. But nice brisk walks are a gentle way to exercise.

Yup, what they think is ugly I think is beautiful.

Well how far we walk varies. Athena is one lazy pooch! I seriously have never met a terrier than wants to sleep, cuddle, lounge around more than her. However I like to get her out about 2 times a day for about a 20 minute brisk walk. I had tried to do three times a day but my night she would be limping so I stopped that. I've talk to the vet about it and they said she still needs time before anything strenous, and sadly weightpull is not in Athena's future

, but to start very slowly building her up. The one thing that gets Athena up and running is fetch. She's a crazy fetch pup and will go pyscho to get her toy thrown and luckily we have a nice big back yard I'm going to start working her out more. I've been wondering about getting a harness and some weights to maybe help her out with losing some chub.
