Cody I. is way too embarassed to tell this story so Karen is reporting on the sly. The Cod-meister thinks he is sooo brave and protective but last night on his walks he went sniffin the hedges of a house on a street he's never been on before. After one good snort, his ears went back, his body stiffened and he turned to a pillar of stone. A second later, he went back to his "job" when a lil head of a bulldog popped out between the hedge!! Cody, the big galoot, jumped straight up in the air and his eyes got real big! He did a 180* turn so fast it made my head spin and trotted home as fast as his poor ole back legs could take him, turning around to make sure he wasn't being followed! Poor boy, I really tried not to laugh all the way home! Codes isn't a nawteedog but sillee-dog! He's gonna be real jealous when I tell him how good Smokers and Cind were without dad! Ole Phred's friends sound like really neat people!!!
