Celebrating as Koda turns 3 today. This crazy dog is seriously one of the greatest loves I've ever known. Having him in our lives showed me a part of my heart I didn't really know existed.

He tries my patience, makes me laugh, and gives me extra love when he can sense when I've had a bad day. When I study, he sits at my feet and keeps me company. He's mischievious and gentle. He loves nearly every dog and every person he's ever met.

Somehow he can close doors, open the refrigerator, twirl, bow, and do this cute trick where he hides his face and pretends he's shy when laying down, but can't seem to understand how to walk toward us when we say come, or that he should drop the tennis ball after fetching it.

Love this guy.

Happy Birthday Koda!

Sarah- sounds like Jack and Koda would be good buddies. Maybe one of these days they can meet and commiserate about how those big people are always tryin' to bring 'em down by making them *do stuff*.
