Kody

Any time I'm away from home and return, I always go crazy when I see Kody. I get so excited that I beat him on his ass and then mimic a chirp that he might do if I really hurt him.

And I'm REALLY good at this dog chirp. I sound just like a dog would if you stepped on his foot.

This makes me wonder, sometimes, what the neighbors might think. Do they think I abuse my dog? What if they call animal control and file a complaint?

I'd be so ready. In fact, I'd probably laugh at the officer on my doorstep, at the silly idea that I abuse my dog. In double fact, I'd invite him/her in to show him/her how abused Kody really is...

Here is my book that I refer to often when Kody is 'under the weather'. Or when he's eaten a shoe:

And here are his preventative meds and stuff I use to keep him free of ticks & fleas when i take him on any of his many hikes all over California:

And before we GO on those hikes, this is what I use to prepare his pads for the rugged terrain:

I started using tough foot when his $85 shoes kept ripping.

But if Kody is not in the mood to go hiking, then he's free to play with the many toys littered all over my...excuse me...his house:

Playing with all those toys can be exhausting, so I gave him a way to go outside and relax whenever he wants by cutting a hole in my house. Just for him:

And when he comes back from sunning himself, sometimes he likes to go for a bike ride in his very own, custom-made Kody Carrier:

(It's up for the winter)

Then there are the days when Kody just wants a good swim in the lake while his mommy kayaks. Just to be cautious I make him wear his life vest:

All this activity makes Kody hungry. He likes to stand by HIS cookie jar until I figure out he wants a cookie:

And when it's nap time, he's free to sleep on MY bed, littering it with tons of his hair. Which i eventually end up eating in my sleep.

While Kody naps, I have to get busy cleaning his house preparing for his next adventure:

So yes Officer...cuff me now becuase this is ONE abused boy:
