This is Coda, he is my little guy. He is 3 years old now.
He was my very first dog, I got him from the Humane Society when he was almost 1 yr old. I had him for almost two years. He is a Terrier Mix, not sure with what though.
He was my husband and I’s “Love Puppy” (instead of love fern haha How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) so he was the very first addition to our family.
I recently had to give him to my mom, who is 3 hours away, in MO. Unfortunately, we discovered he is not good with children and only good with other dogs on occasion. I feel he is very dominate towards other dogs.
Some back story: My husband and I moved in with my mother-in-law so I could go to school full-full time(as much as possible) and finish school. The deal was he worked I went to school and fast tracked to a degree. So to save money we moved in with his mom.
We were allowed to bring Cod, as we sometimes like to call him, and lived with her from January until currently. In August we gave him to my mom, following the arrival of a 4 month old Akita, that is as big as me. Coda did not like this and we were forced to leave him in our bedroom at all times, to avoid peeing and fighting.
This sounds terrible, and it was. No dog should be cooped up. The only bright side was that I was taking online class so I was home ALL the time. He didn’t get to leave the room except for to go outside, to go potty or walks, and to eat.
One of Coda’s favorite things is to cuddle so I held on to him for a month after getting the new puppy. We cuddled every day and I spent every day with him and most hours of every day. That was the only thing I could give him to make up for his being stuck.
Once I knew school would be starting and I was going to be gone 6-10 hours a day some days I knew it was time for him to go somewhere he would like much better. It was selfish of me to keep him like that anyways, but he was my puppy and he knew it.
He always has to be next to me!
So now he lives with my mom, who gladly took him. She adores him. Now he gets to sleep in bed with my mom(which my husband would not allow, as Cod took up a lot of room to be next to me), he gets to get on furniture, he gets spoiled rotten with food and toys, he has full roam of the house, and to top it off a fenced in back yard he will run around in for hours.
He is very well behaved though, except around dogs and children(which we keep him far away from), and he is happy now.
He loves soccer balls!
Hopefully he will always remember his momma and how she loved him!
My Little Guy.
