Anyone who has kept up with my LJ, especially in the last six months, knows I have had more than my fair share of loss and tragedy. This past week was one that reversed the trend, thankfully. Jeff and I decided to go ahead and get ourselves a new puppy, especially since our encounter at the PA State Fair a while ago. We felt it was time to add to our little family again.

Introducing: Kodi!













Jeff picked Kodi up from the breeder on Tuesday. I finally got to see them both on Friday evening. Kodi is about 10 weeks old, feisty, playful and suprisingly well behaved so far. Not to mention about 4 pounds of packed dynamic energy and cuteness.

Inevitably the comparisons with our dearly departed Bear are bound to crop up. While there is no replacing Bear, Kodi is not without some suprises, both intentional and unexpected. "Kodi" is short for Kodiak. His markings and colors in many ways are very similar, though Kodi has more black in his fur on his back. He has similar mannerisms. The most unexpected surprise came when Jeff picked him up. Kodi came from the same breeding pair as did Bear.

Kodi is Bear's brother.

I hope all three of us have a nice long life together.

Ickus says that he definitely has competition in the cuteness department now....congrats! Kodi has adopted two very good bear-dads, and we think that you will indeed have a long, happy, nice life together.

Thank you. I am really hoping it works out that way. Kodi might get a playmate later, possibly in the spring.

Hooray, Yippee, YAY!!! Remember though, the new little guy is just that a NEW person not a surogate. Love him on his own terms and in his own space. You need this and IMHO, it is not one second too soon.

Big hugs from the left coast.

Congrats! I had my own Kodi/Kodiak a few years ago: he was a kind of a "super-size" version of yours, a Chow/Golden Retriever mix. He had the red coloring of a Chow but didn't have the squinty eyes, so he looked a bit like an oversized Pomeranian. Nicest dog ever, although he supposedly raped our other dog at the time, a Shih Tzu named Max who had a Napoleon complex. :)
