When Ratdog passed away, I did not think I could ever get another dog. There was a void and pain in me that is unexpressable. She was so much a part of my life. She even went to 2 of my jobs with me.
Then Cody came along. She is filling that void that I'd been experiencing for 3.5 years. When I saw her for the very first time she came up to me and started licking me on the nose. That sealed it right there.
What I love about Cody:
When it is time to eat she has to play and eat at the same time (she will even put her ball in her bowl sometimes).
How when I first got her, before she learned the sit command, she would sit to get a treat (the breeder said that she did not teach her this).
How when she growls and barks at something her hair stands up from the back of he head to her tail.
The look of expectation she gets on her face when we are playing or when she is about to get to ride in the car or go into the pet store and in so many circumstances.
How, when we are in the bed and she needs to go outside, she will lay down right next to me and put her little face next to mine and give me "wet willies".
How she likes to lay in front of the heater.
How she loves to play ball.
How she has to be touching you most of the time, whether it be on the bed, or in the car, or just sitting at the breakfast room table.
How when she wags her stump of a tail her whole booty wags with it.
I love how she can climb up on the couch with me when I'm laying down (though she is not supposed to :^) even though there is only 6" of room.
I love her happy self.
I love how funny she is.
I love how she makes me feel.
And I thank God for putting her into my life. I think it is one of the ways that He shows His love for me.
