Cody making sure you don't enter the house with dirty feet!

Making sure the job's done right

This past weekend, Elbert's parents came over to help us paint our living room. Cody was making sure that everyone was doing a great job. What a thoughtful pup!

Doggies drool too!

These are a few of his favorite things!

Rawhides!!


Ain't that right Cody Bear? Cody Bear says "YEA!!!"

Cody's daily routine...

Looking forward in going to Doggie Day Care- where he can play all day with his friends!


Around 5:45pm, i pick him up from Doggie Day Care, where he is sad to leave his friends (Momma aint that bad to hang out with, is she?). Here is Cody looking at me thinking, "is it already time to go home?!!!"



Two seconds later, while i start up the car to go home, Cody lays down and curls up in a ball in the passenger seat. He must be super pooped from a whole day's worth of playing with other doggies and the kiddie pool.


Today he was EXTRA tired. We got home, and he wouldn't come out of the car! So i went inside the house to put my laptop, lunchbox, and purse away, just to come back out on the driveway to find this:


Man, now that's what i call an exhausting day at work!

Everyone has their favorite teddy bear

They chase away all the boogie monsters if you hug em tight enough :)

Those are some mighty big paws to fill!

Family Day

It was "Family Day" at the Drake Center (Cody's vet) and they were kind enough to take free family portraits. Here is my favorite of the 8 pictures they gave us. Awww, don't we make a cute family? Clearly Cody gets his good looks from Momma :)

This is what chipmunks look like...

According to Cody:

Cross Eyed Comedy

Of all of the Cody swimming pictures i took yesterday, this one was among my favorites. i can not stop laughing at how goofy he looks in this!
Caught in mid- twist (shaking the water off his body)



Here's a close up of what puppy eyes do when they shake themselves up hahaha

Making Mommy proud on Mother's day!

What a beautiful, sunny, and warm Mother's Day today! It was so nice we decided to take a dip in the pool and, you guessed it! Cody Bear's 2nd attempt to go swimming!! Look at him go!



He needed some help finding the steps on the shallow end of the pool.



With a wee bit of encouragement, praise, and a helping hand to stay calm,



Cody Bear stood on the first step of the pool ALL BY HIMSELF and made Mommy SO proud!



Cody then got the spa treatment of being towel-dried for being such a great sport!

Puppy Yoga Classes...

Are now starting in the bedroom closet.

Before you can get to the bedroom...

Ya gotta get passed the hall monitor first :)

Gettin' cozy

Today was such a lovely sunny Sunday. Cody Bear made himself comfortable on the swing at grandma and grandpa's backyard.

The First Casualty...

Auntie Cheryl (the greatest puppy sitter ever!) across the street tried an experiment yesterday to see how Cody would do left inside the house by himself, outside of his crate. i came home to find him munching on something on the stairs:



this is the first thing cody has ever chewed up inside our house since we got him.

after scolding him for being a "bad dog," Cody ran outside to the backyard, as far away from his angry mother and didn't step foot inside the house for about an hour. i think he had some time to think about what he had done haha

Cody's Spock impersonation

Everyone should take the time to stop and...

SMELL...

or EAT the roses! :)

Surf's Up!

Here is Cody checkin out the surf. Waiting for the next big set to ride haha

This is my good side...

See!

He's so graceful!

Cody *LOVES* water! So when you spray water up in the air, he tries to catch it with his mouth on their way down... This is SO not a flattering picture of him being caught in the act haha :)
