Our "baby"

Shortly after New Years we agreed we would adopt a dog from the SPCA. We went and met some dogs and fell in love with a crazy(really crazy) little Queensland Heeler/ Corgi mix named Koda. Trudy and I both knew she was the one. After succumbing to her big brown puppy dog eyes, we got her home and realized she had a serious case of doggie separation anxiety! Luckily, Trudy had a friend that knew a dog trainer who could work with her and keep her during the day . She learned quickly, improved daily and was able to stay home alone after close to two months. After several weeks of anxiety, frustration and strict discipline, she has become one of the best dogs ever. Koda is a loved member of the family and has several nicknames including Begoda, the Kodasaurus and DogBaby. We call her DogBaby because I say she's our baby and Trudy says she's not a real baby, but a DogBaby. She loves running on the beach, romping around with the big dogs, long naps in the sun and trying to sleep in our bed!
