How Life with Kody has Changed

Tuesday, September 7th 12:12amMatt

When I first started this blog I talked a lot about training methods and how much Cesar Millan sucked. But I’m lucky because now there are lots of other people to do that for me who know much more about both topics. Cesar Millan is suffering quite a lot of very scientific criticism and probably [...]

Learning to Brush a Dog’s Teeth

Thursday, May 20th 12:36amMatt

Kody and I have been working on brushing his teeth. I had tried a few methods of doing this in the past but none of them really worked out. But now I have a new method that’s working great. In my right hand I hold a hot dog bit and I put that hand under [...]

Adventure Kody

Tuesday, May 18th 12:26amMatt

The fear phase after the Goose incident didn’t last long. Kody led me back to the scene of the crime to sniff around and then on a long adventure walk today. He saw two dogs and barked mildly once and really just wanted to watch them. Since the walk he’s been a wild dog wanting [...]

Blog Weary

Tuesday, March 9th 11:18pmMatt

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on the blog. Going through the experience of Kody’s fractured tooth was just so difficult that I’m exhausted. First experiencing the fracture itself and a week of pain until he had his first trip to the dentist. The trips to the dentist were difficult in a whole different [...]

First Chews on New Tooth

Friday, February 26th 10:56pmMatt

Just a quick note to say that Kody has been feeling better and I gave him one of his new rawhide chews. He was excited by the fact that he hadn’t had one in a long time and spent the next two hours trying to bury it in different places. Then he started chewing on [...]

Post Surgery Diarrhea

Friday, February 26th 5:00pmMatt

Poor Kody has a little bit of Diarrhea and I assume some associated stomach discomfort which I think is what’s bugging him the most. When he came back from his root canal he didn’t have diarrhea but he was a bit fixated on his butt for a while, so I think it was probably the [...]

Kody’s Shiny New Tooth

Thursday, February 25th 9:38pmMatt

Kody now has a shiny new tooth. They were going to do a cleaning today, if necessary, but it wasn’t really necessary, which is good news. Kody seems to be much better off than when he had the root canal but he is definitely very groggy and mellow. He did have some dinner, though. He [...]

Tomorrow Kody Gets His Crown

Wednesday, February 24th 9:47pmMatt

I haven’t posted in a while, things have been so great that I just took the time to relax. We got a call from the dentist today and they had a cancellation so tomorrow Kody will go in to get his crown placed on the tooth. Here’s the downside. Dogs are very smart and they [...]

Two Days After the Root Canal

Wednesday, February 17th 6:50pmMatt

Kody is doing great today and he’s more playful than he’s been since he fractured his tooth. It’s so great to see him asking to play and then being able to play so animatedly. Post Root Canal – Pre Crown Food If you’re a regular reader you know that I cook Kody lunch every day [...]
