A Conversation with Cody!

Me: So Cody-man what's shaken?

Cody:  What's shaken?  Interesting choice of words mommie.

Me:  It was kind of a joke...you're a dog and you shake a lot.  So what's shaken? What can I say? I'm not a comedian.

Cody: Are we having a conversation that will later appear on your blog?

Me:  Most likely!  I'm crazy.  But remember, like your daddy says, I am the good kind of crazy! I talk to all of you but with you Cody-man I likely talk the most.  Perhaps it's because you follow me everywhere I go.  There's more opportunity to chat with you.  By the way I have a slight issue with you.

Cody:  Who me?  A slight issue with me?  Simon is the naughty one.  He's the one to have issues with.  I've got a long list of issues concerning Simon.

Me:  Yes, I bet your list grows by the day! 

Cody:  It most certainly does!  I start a new list each day too! One longer than the day before.

Me: Oh dear!  Anyway, big man, back to my issue with you.  I called out your name the other night not once, not twice, but three times....after I called your name who did you run to each time?  Your daddy!  The nerve....Code-man....the nerve!

Cody:  Yeah, not sure why I did that.  He just looked more playful and inviting to me.  You likely wanted to wipe my face or my head or try to hold me like a baby.  Man, I hate it when you clean me up sometimes. I'm not sure which is worse, you trying to clean my face or you trying to hold me like a baby. You have Piper now to hold like a baby. She likes it. Not me! I like affection when it's on my terms.  

Me:  Yes, you are the pint-sized control freak in our house.  Always on your terms, right?

Cody:  Right. As it should be! 

Me:  Well, I'm not sure I'm accepting of your answer at this point but it's in the past.  Next time I call you three times in a row I expect you to come to me not your daddy at least one of those times.  Your daddy sure was having a good chuckle about the situation, every time I called your name he got a Cody in his lap.  You stinker!  Now lets talk about the weather!

Cody:  Oh gee, don't tell me...is winter arriving tomorrow? I can't take it if it is.

Me:  No my little honey bee.  Winter is a ways away!

Cody:  Thank goodness! I can nap peacefully today knowing that!

Me:  The weather has been quite pleasing to you hasn't it?

Cody:  Oh man, it's been AWESOME.  My limbs have completely thawed out from last winter that seemed to drag on for a million years. Last week it did rain which doesn't make me delighted as the world knows.  But I'm not complaining when the high gets to only 76 degrees.  It was perfect weather all last week.  It was like Spring! And I was a happy boy!

Me: I figured you wouldn't have any complaints about the weather these past few weeks.  It will warm up some this week.  It won't be like Spring but I still think you'll be okay with the temps.

Cody:  For sure! As long as I'm not freezing my limbs off I'm fairly happy.

Me:  It's funny how your daddy asked a few months back as to when happy-go-lucky Cody would return to us. He noticed your bad moods increased as winter extended on. I told him you'd be super fine by mid-summer!

Cody:  Yep, I'm back and better than ever. Not that I actually went anywhere. However, I certainly thought of ditching all of you in favor of a tropical climate all the way into April. Just as long as winter stays away I'm good.

Me:  Well the best news of all is that summertime will roll on.  December is still quite a ways off in the distance. Lets go suntan out on the balcony. Perfect summertime thing to do! If you're lucky I'll give you a chunk of watermelon.

Cody:  Let's go. Cody-man out!!!!
