Cody's Birthday!

Today is my dear sweet Cody-Man's birthday. His 9th birthday! Where has the time gone? I remember very clearly the day I got little Cody. And boy was he little! When we would take rides in the car he would ride in a box. He stayed in the box so well, never trying to get out until I got him out.

My grandparents got a real kick out of little Cody when I first showed him to them. My grandmother especially couldn't get over how small he was. During that first introduction my grandma insisted on giving him some milk just to see if he liked it. He did!

Each year my dogs get cake for their birthdays. I used to buy it from a dog bakery. Since moving to TX no dog bakery exists. I now have to bake it myself. I baked Cody's cake today and I got to use my new mixer. Great fun!

Cody always gets a Christmas toy and a bag of treats for his b-day. Cody opened all 3 gifts this year. Simon assisted on the food gift but once he realized he wasn't going to be able to eat the treat right away he lost interest. It was then up to Cody to open both toys. Cody didn't mind! It's a little early to tell, but I think the elephant is his favorite of the 2 toys he unwrapped.
