Picture me bringing home a new bathroom scale. Next, picture me hopping on the cheap piece of junk, coaxing Koda over, picking him up and waiting 9 long seconds as the digital scale proceeds to blink over and over while it's apparently got a "I'm thinking about what your total weight might be... almost got it... okay, just a few more seconds and theeen I'll have your weight for you..." feature built in. (Note to self: the maximum weight you can carry in both hands while hunched over and teetering on a bathroom scale is 65 pounds)
Koda's breed is good if you've got a flock of sheep and want to keep them on your land. In lieu of a hilltop and flock of sheep, Koda's got our staircase that overlooks our picturesque living room and three crazy roomates that sometimes run around in circles out in the backyard together simply to make him feel like the working dog he was meant to be.
Koda's favorite spot is this staircase, which was great back on October 13 when he was 25 pounds and could fit his fluffy butt and legs on the stairs. Now fast-forward 3.5 months, and he's more than doubled in size and has to utilize a crazy 45 degree angle leg maneuvar to prop himself up as he literally spills over one stair to the other. We don't have the heart to break it to him that it is entirely possible that he will have 45+ more pounds to contend with. Maybe my dad can help me build a jumbo staircase that we can wheel in from the garage every morning so Koda can eternally enjoy his favorite spot.

That is the funniest thing I have ever seen. I wonder how long before he gets it the landing would be more comfortable?? He is a puppy in a big dog body. He just wants to sit on the hill and watch his roommates!! Well basement smells soooo good and I did get the monster of a treadmill out of the door anyhow and I wondered to myself how in the hell did Kelli get this mother in there??? It looks so nice right now but I can see some walls need some paint to freshen it up some more. I will have to take a pictures so you can get a visual and then see the pile of stuff in the main room. It makes me scratch my head and goo hmmmm where is this shit going to the dump or what!!! It is a very wonderful feeling of completion well almost!! Dad is off on Tuesday so hopefully we can get to the dump and things will be complete!!
I got that thing in there by sheer determination. I think at one point I had to "put it somewhere" before family was coming over or something like that. I had cuts and scrapes from head to toe after that small endeavor. I remember getting it propped up against the wall only to have the pin let loose, sending the heaviest part of the treadmill crashing on my head. Oh the agony. So yes, after recalling my experience with that large piece of dangerous equipment, I hope you had some help.
Are you kidding help that was the hope on my part but Gary was busy playing pool or cards on the computer and being stubborn I did it myself and now it is the doorway sooo I can skid in and out but barely. Have to get my gumption up and move it some more!!
That is sooo adorable? If Koda could speak, I would ask him why the heck is that spot so wonderful that he doesn't sit on the top of the landing??? hmmmmm. so cute though-give him a puppy kiss, and pee on his foot from me!
