Kody has not had diarrhea all day (or any other poo) which is a great sign. It mean’s he’s probably done with the diarrhea and when things have processed he’ll go back to the regular poo. Having said that, at the moment he’s in a very stinky, very flatulent phase. Yes, it’s a farty party. We [...]

Last night Kody had a good barf, I think it surprised him because he didn’t have a chance to make it out from under the covers before he did it. Then he did it again a few minutes later at which time I was able to get a couple of paper towels underneath first. I cleaned [...]

Today I gave Kody one of those beef esophagus toys/treats that I get sometimes when I go to buy new food. What I like about these toys is that they are very interesting to Kody because he doesn’t get them very often. They are tube shaped and I’m sure they smell great to him. My observation today [...]

I was just sitting here working on my laptop a couple of seconds ago and Kody was laying next to me sleeping. He was dreaming and gave a kick with one of his back legs that made a tap against the side of my computer. It’s such a little thing, but it was so cute [...]

Yesterday I had a meeting with a business that always has dogs around. Usually it’s a Rottweiler and an Irish Terrier.

Kody is having a tough winter. I think he may prefer the cold weather that we were having to the wet weather that we are having. He does this thing where he loiters around the front door when he needs to go out but he won’t commit to it because he can tell it’s raining. After [...]

It’s been hectic around here. Not really because of the holidays, but because I’ve been working a ton. It’s all good, though. I do have some lit garland and a small snow village set up, which makes it very festive here. Right now there’s a fire burning in the fireplace. It has been very cold here. [...]

I thought that today (the 5th of December) was the two year anniversary of getting Kody, but I checked my credit card bills for that trip to Petco we made that night, and it was actually the 2nd of December. But happy anniversary to us!

OK, that headline is a bit of an exaggeration. But here’s what happened. I was gettting ready to sit down and have some dinner. I decided it would be nice to have a fire in the fireplace. I put a Duraflame log in and lit it and laid Kody’s blanket in front of the fire. For [...]
