Elliot

Hello Kathy, I just wanted to update you on the life long journey that Cody (formerly Elliot) ad myself have just started on together. What can I say... he is one crazy pup! Cody's 5 favorite things are 1) his Batman squeaky chew toy; 2) a 9" dog bone that is almost as big as him; 3) chewing on peoples hands; 4) playing fetch; and 5) cuddling (which is definitely his favorite out of all of them). He is such a loveable puppy! I could tell from day one, actually within the first 5 minutes when he fell asleep in my lap while filling out his paperwork, that Cody was going to be a cuddle bug. No matter if we are on the couch, going to bed, or sitting on the park bench you can find him cuddled up either in my lap or with his head on me. If he is not cuddling he is giving kisses. Cody is such a sweetheart and he knows how to melt a heart. Although new to it, Cody loves going to the dog park. Since we live in an apartment there is not a lot of room to run around, although we do play fetch outside sometimes, so we usually go to the dog park a couple times a week. It took a little time, but he quickly became comfortable around the other small dogs, and he often antagonizes them to run and play with him. It's not only small dogs that he plays with, but he is also becoming friends with a couple of my friend's big dogs, a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a Doberman Pincher. It's very funny watching them interact together. Cody is one very smart puppy. He is already crate trained, he is doing very well with his house training (only having accidents when I neglect to watch his clues better), and "come" and "sit" are the newest commands that he has learned. Not only is he smart, but he is very inquisitive. Cody loves getting into things and causing mischief. It makes things very exciting around the home, and I love this crazy little puppy. Thank you and all of your volunteers for all that you do. It is because of people like yourselves that happy endings like ours are possible. I'm sure that Cody and I will see you guys at some of the events that you put on, hopefully at the upcoming Abacoa one, and we will definitely continue to follow you on Facebook and post updates and pictures. Sincerely, Shawn and Cody
