Hi, I’m Cody.   My mom brings me with her sometimes when she goes to a place where people sit all day and don’t play much.

There’s a big girl dog here they call Lucy and I don’t like her coming near me.  I’m not used to big dogs, and she might try to take my food too.   She’s cute, though.  She doesn’t seem scared of anything, and just wants belly rubs.  I like belly rubs, too.

At first the people scared me and I’d bark or growl, but they always give me a biscuit when they walk by.  The biscuits helped me see that they aren’t going to hurt me. I even let them stay awhile, even though they’re in my territory. I try hard to not be scared.

Sometimes they even play with me with my favorite toy. My mom says it’s a cat toy but I still like it. It has a bell in it that I rip out sometimes and my mom ties it back in for me again so I can keep killing it. I shake it up.

I like running around. My mom puts me in my crate when she thinks I have to go potty because I’m still too scared to pee when I’m outside on a leash. She takes me home at lunch for my potty break. I drink a lot of water here to wash the biscuits down.

It seems a little less scary every time I go there. I like being with my mom.
