New Puppy

[sun&fun]

Well, it's nice to know Cody isn't just eye candy for the Doxie girls -- he can bring home the bacon (bunny?), too. What a cutie!

LOL! Right. Although his opportunity of being a Doxie baby daddy will never happen. I had him neutered several months ago. He's beautiful and is purebred, but is too large to be a real Mini, and not large enough to be a Standard. So he will forever be a puppy. He's happy, has no idea what he lost, and I don't have to worry about paying Puppy Support...

Cody is a Year Old!!

For those who have been wondering, the time has flown, and my amazing boy Cody is 1 year old today. He's a great dog, and I couldn't be happier. Here's a new picture of him, taken this afternoon.

He is so cute. He looks really soft and cuddly, too.

Happy Birthday, Cody!

I looked at all your old pictures again. Time goes way too fast but that is the same for children.

Great looking doggie and I wish you the best. In a year or two, I would recommend you get him a playmate. Everyday we get so much happiness from both our small dogs that I am grateful that I overcame any fear of our 1st dog not getting used to a second smaller dog my wife wanted. We feel so much like a large happy family.

I am pleased that you shared

 

[MuranoJo]

He isn't spoiled by any chance, is he?

Cute, cute.

Cody is all grown up now, at just over a year and a half old. He has become a wonderful young adult, and is a credit to the breeder who did such a great job. I'm really happy having him in my home.

Happy enough that tomorrow, I'm bringing home a buddy for him. He's by himself all day, and I think he deserves a canine playmate buddy. (My 13 year old male cat tries his best, but he just can't keep up.) Cody's parents have had a new litter, and I'm adopting his little brother from this new litter. I'll post pictures of the new boy later on. He's not a dapple, like Cody, but he's an adorable little guy.

For now, I thought it was time to show everyone who followed this thread how my beautiful puppy turned out. I couldn't be any happier with him.

What a beautiful dog and he looks so at home in his chair but interested too in what you were doing when taking his picture. It will be so nice for him to have a young buddy to play with but it is always hard to leave them when you go on vacation. You must have a very good pet sitter, Dave.

We did but when our last cat died, we decided to have no more pets because we were always worrying about them anyway and even about our koi in the pond. They live longer than dogs and cats and one even lived to over 30 years old. They all have a special place in our heart and especially Taffy as he was our very last pet.

Thanks, Emmy. My sister stays at my home when we go away. She was living with us when Cody came along, and he grew up with her around all day, so he knows her very well. She's staying here tonight, in fact, so she'll be here tomorrow when we bring the new puppy home. She's already getting her "puppy whisperer" skills ready.

He's a"dog"able! Glad he has made your life so happy. A great idea to give him companionship. I have had doubles and only once had a single dog and it's much better for them to have a friend to hang out with. They are social animals and need to be with their pack. (Just hope they don't fight). Good luck! Animals make our lives so much better! I miss my dogs and someday if and when I retire I hope to get at least one dog.

Thanks! I know Cody wants a friend around, and there won't be any fighting - he's a pretty gentle dog. Now that he's a well-mannered, reasonably well-trained member of the family, getting him a friend is the right move to make. I'm hoping the new puppy will give Cody a way to use up his doggie energy, by having another who speaks his own language. As I said, my male cat tries to play, but it's tough - Cody is too much dog, and the cat isn't doggie enough.

Nice!

Cody is beautiful . . . and lucky to be having a playmate coming soon!

Thanks, Ellen! He's really a looker.

[DaveNV]

Nice!

Thank you! Coming from you, that means a lot. Cody has been raised with ZERO table food, only quality dog food in measured quantities, and with a regular daily schedule. He's turned out great.

Thanks, Yvonne! He is a striking-looking dog, that's for sure. He turns heads everywhere.

New puppy is here!

So today we brought home Cody's new brother, an eight-week-old Black & Cream boy we've named Kona. He's a full brother to Cody, but from a new litter. He's a total sweetheart, and after a bit of getting his bearings, he settled down remarkably fast. I think he'll be a fine companion for Cody, once the commotion wears off..

Cody, on the other hand, isn't quite sure what to make of the puppy. He's interested, curious, but a bit intimidated, I think. No aggression or anything, but there is a lot of "What IS this??" kind of interaction. We're giving both dogs lots of affection, but Cody is getting the bigger amount.

For starters, here's a picture of little Kona.

Oh my goodness. I don't think he could be any cuter! Smooches to the pooches!

Those dogs are freakin cute!

We just started taking our mini doxie sailing. She's on her 2nd trip with us right now. It's going surprisingly well.

Thanks! I'm really happy with them both. I hope Kona turns out to be as easy to work with as Cody is. Consistency in treatment is everything. We're off to a good start - right now they're sleeping in their separate crates, facing each other, so they can see each other, but in their own space. No crying from the puppy, and things are quiet all around.

Sailing with my dogs would be so much fun! I used to own a Catalina 27 when I lived in San Diego, and I really miss it. Someday!!

Opened your picture and said this out loud, "Oh Gah! STOP! You. Are. Killing. Me! with cuteness of course

I've got two smooths (wash and wear, I call them...less grooming) but your LH's are just gorgeous. And if they have the temperament to match, you are one lucky guy!

Congrats...I knew when you started your search you would revert back to dachshunds. I just knew it. Once bitten...there is no way out.

What a cute puppy and I love the name Kona too, Dave.

Dogs love to go on a sailing boat or to be in a dinghy and go ashore for a walk and potty break. They love to be with their human companions wherever that may be so the same for travel trailers or a motor home when you travel that way.

Not so with cats unless you start them off immediately after they are born but still only in an environment they get to know like the same boat or motor home. Dogs don't care when you are with them. They are just so loyal.
