Cody is just still the apple of his dad's eye....
Since DH bought him sight unseen and flew all the way from Nashville to Portland to pick him (a mutt, lhasa-poo, not a fine pure bred or show dog which one might understand) up and he turned out to be such a wonderful dog for our family to replace the one that died that we thought was perfect too. And Cody learned all Buckeye's tricks and even some new ones so that REALLY tickled his dad.
Cody got his dad a card this year. It's more than either of my grown stepsons did.
