We worked hard to wear this girl out tonight! She has typical working-breed puppy energy, and it took a yard run, bone chewing, a short walk with Murphy and a 1/2 mile walk with me plus more cuddles when she got home before she finally passed out. Personal trainer achievement: unlocked! #AthenaDog #workedout #energyfordays #cyclonewarriorpuppy https://www.instagram.com/p/B1aXs1bg-lF/?igshid=11htyeutm1gpt

So for the last three years, I've had to put the Murph in the office behind a babygate so I could vacuum. He *hates* the big vacuum cleaner, even when it's not plugged in. The in-laws gave hubby this new Dyson stick/cordless vacuum for his birthday, and oddly, Murphy doesn't mind it at all! No more office banishment on vacuum days. #Murphydog #AthenaDog #dogproblems #dogsandvacuums https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Uvw58ANZe/?igshid=1gc4d3j6d3zq0

Seems like a good place to hide after getting in trouble for dragging Jamie's knitting out of the closed knitting bag to play with this morning... #AthenaDog #naughtydog #dogproblems #Murphydog #dogsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B1L6RVHgtx5/?igshid=174f4blh1rj08

Also, natural tree-trimming. And that's our gutter/river too. Apparently mother nature is doing yardwork tonight... #storms #treestrimmed #natralsprinkler #summerinmontana https://www.instagram.com/p/B1C7DWEg0qM/?igshid=1fudclua0s6pm

That was quite the hail storm than just rumbled through. Crazy loud! Glad my west side windows are still intact...and the car windshield. #hail #storms #summerinmontana https://www.instagram.com/p/B1C5ScngHU2/?igshid=1vbq1tmaw3zwq

It's "belly-rub time" around here, apparently. #Murphydog #AthenaDog #bellyrubs #dogsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B1CPBn_AlaX/?igshid=jjtfi75lca2l

Athena's taking her new job as Murph's personal trainer seriously, even with the heat. Went twice as far as planned (still not far though, it's over 80 degrees). We need cooler walking weather now! #AthenaDog #Murphydog #dogwalking #tireddogsaregooddogs https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zmkysAcCH/?igshid=13il8xzjmw5ha

A little undignified, but I suppose that method of weeding works too, Athena. #AthenaDog #Murphydog #afterdinnersalads #bottomsup https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zg1BbAfCQ/?igshid=16gteadhars4r

Yard duty is hard work. Being a trip hazard while breakfast is being made requires zero effort. #Murphydog #AthenaDog #dogjobs #airconditioningislife #willwakeforbacon https://www.instagram.com/p/B0v9PUFAmeX/?igshid=1ovmvthmfqusc

So we're thinking about a new name for Styx. Her old name just really doesn't seem to suit her. What name pops into your head when you look at this face? #dogproblems #rescuedogs #newlifenewname https://www.instagram.com/p/B0trFmxgBSd/?igshid=knf5zgqexij4
