They don't always look this good

[12:30pm] Come home from class.
Why are there shreds of a Cadbury mini-egg bags and orange peels all over the place?
Oh, it looks like Kodiak got into the mini-eggs that Sara left on the coffee table.
Call Sara,
I think Kody ate a bunch of chocolate
Oh you were almost done with the bag, no big deal.
Hmm…. let me check, the other mini-eggs are in the cupboard.
Nope.
I left them in the grocery bag on the counter.
Nope.
Call Sara
Where is the other bag of mini-eggs?
On the table? No its not.
Oh crap! He just ate an 18oz bag of chocolate.
He’s not acting weird.
Certainly not acting hyper.
You’ll call the vet?
What’d they say?
It shouldn’t be a problem for his weight?
OK, I’ll keep an eye on him.

…

[9:30pm]
Kody, do you need to go outside?
You need to go outside again?
Ok let’s go.
Now Kody, just lie on your soft, soft bed
Again Kody? This is getting old.
Be a good boy and lie down and let me study
Blaaaarg!!
Sara! Kody threw up all over my study.

Colorado finally received snow worthy of the month of March, over a foot in fact. Yesterday schools were closed, and the roads were horrible. I actually spun out unexpectedly. while driving back from the grocery store yesterday. Fortunately everyone was going slow.

Today, the skies are blue again, so I forced Kody to come out into the snow with me to take some pictures. Unlike many labs, he is not particularly fond of being wet, and he HATES the snow, but because he’s a very sweet dog, he’ll do whatever is asked of him.

Lately Kody has been wearing an big, ugly t-shirt to prevent him from licking a wound he got from having a lump removed. Though the shirt is held on with safety pins and duct tape, he still manages to wriggle much of it off by the time we get home. Hopefully we can take it off in the next day or two, but in the meantime I’m going to laugh at how Eeyore-like this shirt makes him look.

We now have a mooshable lump of labrador in our home. Meet Kodiak aka Kody aka Kode Red aka Kode Warrior. Right now we’re only fostering him, but we may be adopting him in the not too distant future. It’s hard not to fall for a creature as sweet as Kody. He tolerates my strange schedule, my many hugs and my talking to him in a “Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals” voice.
