Kate's family recently had to say goodbye to their cocker spaniel Cody. He was off to doggy heaven the day after we left to return home. It was sad to see him deteriorate so fast each time we came home for a visit. We were lucky to have an opportunity to give him a big hug before we left and say bye. The Govert Family has a nice post on Cody's spot in the family (Kate wouldn't be able to see the monitor if she tried to write something). It was especially hard for Grammy - first she had to say bye to her son going off to Florida for rotations, then she had to say bye to her granddaughter going back to California, and to top it off, she had to say bye to her walking partner all within a span of 2 days.
Fittingly, Zoe just started to learn the sign for puppy (panting with her tongue stuck out). She loves her baby signs book and will turn to the page of the doggy and pant, giggling and smiling and very proud of herself. So when we arrived in New Castle, she was super excited to have the real thing! Cody (and Tilly and Hoosier) were great sports, letting her chase them around and pet them. We were really happy that Zoe got to play with him once more and that we were able to capture some of it on video. We love you Codes!
