Cody has just been growing and filling out.  What a difference fresh air, good food, and lots of love has made for this little guy.  He has changed so much since he came to our house from the puppy mill - so scared and unsure of himself and so thin and his fur dry and dull. Now, here he is curious, confident, bouncy, good natured, filling out, soft golden fur growing in and happy to be the little golden boy that he is. He is so funny to watch as he plays - he'll be so intent on one toy and then another will catch his eye and he's off playing with that toy.  Cody had found that a full size soccer ball in the snow is great fun to chase and jump on.  And boy does he love the snow!! He loves to jump in it, and push it around with his nose, and just race through it at break-neck speed (at least break-neck puppy speed).  He is so playful with our resident dogs Joey and Bailey and loves to go racing after Bailey (but it's kind of hard to keep up with a full-grown lab when you only have little puppy legs to run on) - but races he does!!  Cody has been keeping his crate clean and dry.  If he needs to go in the night, he'll cry a little so you know he needs to go potty.  Otherwise, he sleeps in his crate quietly and without protest.  We are still working on house training.  He knows "sit" and does sit very nicely I must say - especially if he knows a treat is coming his way.  He is very food motivated. What a big joyous day April 11th was for our little golden Cody boy!!!  Cody had captured the hearts of Lu and her daughter Molly and Cody went to his new forever home where he will be well-loved and cared for - making that dirty puppy mill stall a very distant memory.  In addition to the love he'll get from Lu and Molly, Cody will also have some four-legged companions (a dog and a cat) to help show him around his new home.  Foster mom and dad had to say good-bye to their little Cody golden boy (and yes, foster mom got a bit teary-eyed even though she said she wouldn't) - but they know how well loved he'll be and are so happy that Cody found such a wonderful forever home with Lu and Molly, and are so happy that they will have such a wonderful, special companion in Cody. Before he left Cody asked foster mom to be sure and tell Janna Hill "THANK YOU" once again for sponsoring him.  So, from Cody to Janna: lots of kisses, hugs, and puppy snuggles from a very grateful puppy - your help made such a difference in his young life and has enabled him to find a loving home where he will grow up to be a very special very precious golden boy.  Thank you!!
