Welcome Daisy!!!

Cody got a new baby sister today! We've been looking to get a little brother or sister for Cody lately, but have been waiting for the right one. When we went to the Helen Woodward Animal Center yesterday, we saw a cute little girl that looked EXACTLY like Cody! So we had to go get her! But before we were allowed to adopt her, we had to have Cody meet her first. So we took Cody this morning, and they got along very well! Daisy is 3 months old and is a Lab mix. We're thinking she's a Lab/ Husky mix like Cody since they look so much alike!

Elbert, proud father of a new baby girl!

We took the kids to the park today for some bonding time.


Daisy has been taking over Cody's stuff. She's found his toy box, lays on his L.L. Bean bed, and whatever Cody does, she wants to do and vice versa. Cody's been getting a little bit jealous here and there, but I'm sure after a few weeks when he realizes that she's here to stay, he'll give in.







A prime example of whatever one does, the other follows.

Welcome Daisy!!

What do you get when you cross a dog, a lampshade, and peanut butter?

Defeated!

For those of you who are queezy when it comes to gross things... Ta-da! Remember the shot of Cody's butt a few blog entries back? Well, the other day Cody got an allergic reaction on his skin and he decided to bite that sucker to death. So we took him to the vet today... and they shaved his butt and put antibiotics on it! Poor butt!


and of course... Cody had to get a satellite dish around his head so he won't bite at it. This must be the worst day ever in his whole entire life! He looks so defeated!



Maybe if I just close my eyes really hard, it'll all just go away...

Dad thought the satellite dish needed some decoration and added a sticker...

Cody is NOT having a good summer so far... First, he gets into a fight and now has a pink scar over his nose, and now he's got a shaved butt, an open wound, AND a lamp shade over his head!

Should I Stay or Should I go?

Inside or outside? How about both?

One step at a time...

Yesterday we got Cody to go on the very first step into our swimming pool. Today was even better. We got him to go on the second step!!! and that's where he stood for a whole entire hour while we swam and played in the pool. I wasn't sure if he liked it there or if he was too scared to move anywhere haha

Welcome Summer!!

Yesterday was the first day of summer, and boy did it feel like it! Cody LOVES LOVES LOVES summer and today he celebrated by laying out in the sun:

and taking a seat by the pool:

This is the closest he's ever gotten in the pool by himself! Someday... he'll want to jump right on in and we wont be able to get him out... someday...

Here's a wee video of him wanting to go swimming, but too scared to take the first steps:
(sorry for my annoying baby voice hahaha)

Battle Scars

Poor Cody! While in LA on Tuesday, i got a phone call from his school saying that he got into a wee scuffle with another dog. Apparently the other doggie got Cody's nose... and Cody got the other dog's ear... Cody hopes his nose scar heals quickly since summer is here and he wants to look good for the ladies at the beach.

Car Ride!

Cody wishes that we have one of them 1980's station wagons with the bench seating in the front. He would fit perfectly right in the middle! Instead, he has to lean forward in between us and just pretend...

Dog butt.

Wake up sleepy head!

Even doggies have lazy Fridays too. I couldnt get this guy up this morning (or myself haha)!
(doesn't that picture just want to make you yawn?)


Cody: Mom, can't you see i'm trying to sleep (on YOUR bed?)

Cody: Good night! It's Friday! Oh, it's hard being a dog...

We're home!!

yay! we're finally home! the wedding was fantastic and our honeymoon was even better! and Cody Bear was the happiest puppy on earth when i picked him up from "summer camp." We're lucky that he wasnt mad at us for leaving him for 2 weeks. but we thought we'd take him to his favorite place in the world to cheer him up and to make sure he doesnt get mad at us haha.

of course, he HAD to do his signature greeting when arriving at the beach:

oh the joy this dog gets at the beach!

he must have learned how to play fetch while at summer camp!

See ya in June!

While we will be away for our wedding and honeymoon, Cody Bear gets to spend two weeks at "summer camp." I'm sure he'll have fun and make lots of friends. I just hope he doesnt think we've abandoned him... and i hope doesnt pick up bad habits from his new friends hahahaha

See ya in June!

Cody & Tyler

Cody: But... why is it so small?? I don't know about this thing...

Cody: Oh, ok... i'll let it touch me... It is pretty cute after all!

You're fired!

Sorry for the delay in updating Mr. Bear's blog! We've been busy planning our wedding (it's next week!) so i apologize for neglecting the taking of pictures of our little one...

Today i gave Cody a bath in the morning and after hours of air-drying in the sun, i decided to brush the cutie. I cannot believe how much hair came out!!! i think Cody was hiding a pomeranian on his body!

Cody thought it would be funny to give his best Donald Trump impersonation... What do you think?

Multi- tasker...

Or is he suffering from "only child syndrome?" mine, mine, mine!!! Cody likes to show off that he can carry more than one object in his mouth... Sometimes i think he just doesnt want anyone else to play with his stuff...

Sunday... continued...

To continue Cody's summer- like Sunday, we took him to Dog Beach, where he made momma proud! I have never seen Cody tackle waves so hard before! Even the guy in the background was cheering for him! haha

Cody never used to go in the water if it went past his belly. This guy made mommy and daddy proud by jumping in and doggy paddling around! See, even daddy was showing mommy from afar what the Bear was doing with his paws!


Gotta love these unflattering pictures of Cody shaking the water off his body haha


Going home... The Bear was exhausted! So much fun all in one day!

Feels like summer!

This weekend was HOT!!! and The Bear LOVES LOVES LOVES it when its hot. One of his favorite things is to lay out in the sun:

We figured we'd bring out... drum roll please... the kiddie pool!


This is probably the most athletic thing I've ever seen Cody do!

Who's causing all that raucous out there?!

Cody was either trying to be the justice of peace or he wanted to join those noisy little kids outside haha

Cody hearts peanut butter!

Catch me if you can!

I can never go in the backyard without this guy wanting to play tag!
