Koda!

Well, I think it has been long enough for me to not have introduced everyone to the newest member of our family. His name is Koda. He is a Cavachon (Cavalier St. Charles mixed with a Bichon Freeze). The first few weeks was a nightmare as I struggled to take care of two 5-month-olds (Koda was born February 7, 2009). Now, I can breathe easy and know things will be great with him. He was potty-trained when we got him, but the new surroundings seemed to have confused him a little bit. We have also had to "train" Josh with his new "brother." Not to leave fun toys on the floor or Koda will eat them, not to be a "bad guy" to Koda because he has feelings, too. Stuff like that. It has been hard, but is well worth it. Koda is a cuddler and just loves to please me by doing what I ask. He is friendly to all the dogs in the neighborhood. He doesn't like water, which is a little strange for a dog, I think. He loves to dig in my flower bed, so I moved his tie-out to the back yard. The next-door neighbors ask if they can take him on walks all the time. Ammon commented last night that he makes a VERY good foot warmer. He likes to look out our big window at the kids playing. You can tell a kid comes close to the window because you can hear the loud thud, thud, thud, thud of Koda's tail wagging and hitting the window. We love him, and are very glad he is a part of our family.
