Our Dapper 'Dood'

Cody, our 17 month old Goldendoodle, has been with us 10 weeks tomorrow...hard to believe. He continues to amaze us each day. He has gotten playful just the past week or so and it's so much fun to see him run around the house! Lionel gets him going and that's all it takes. He runs from one end of the house to the other as fast as he can. Sometimes he runs into the kitchen on his way by, but because we have hard wood floors in there he skids and slides, banging into the pantry doors...poor guy! He thinks it's great fun though and just continues on his way.

This silliness lasts about 20 minutes and then he's done. No matter what you do or say, he's done! He goes and gets himself a drink, then proceeds to lay down on the floor in the living room ready for a nap. He's such a quiet dog most of the day, but somewhere between 8pm and 10pm he's got energy left in him from the day and he's just got to let it out. We're trying to get him to fetch, but he thinks we're just weird for throwing things. He looks at the ball we through and just runs past it! Go figure...silly dog.

He also LOVES going out on walks with us. He has his favorite 'pit stop' where he does his business (fortunately it's in a wooded area and not on one of our neighbor's front lawns. Gasp!) He also looks for his friend Leo who lives down the street from us. Whenever Leo (a yellow lab) is outside, he gets very excited! It's nice to have friends, even when you're a dog I guess.

Here are a few photos from the past few days:

...and there he goes! He LOVES to jump down the few steps into our living room! (Please ignore the paint behind the table...we're testing different paint samples before repainting).


Well, it's getting late and I need to get to bed. Cody is sleeping soundly behind my computer desk chair, so he's obviously ready for bed too. Have a great Monday!
