Yea Kelly I liked your comment about trained children. Has anyone seen them
Maybe its trained parents not the kids.
Its so cute that Cody comes back to his momma. I remember when Sam (14 now) was about 1 yr old (we took him in as a stray with real psychological issues) I'd take him on a hiking trail and he would run ahead about 100 ft and go around the bend. Then he'd pop his head back within 2 min to make sure I was still walking towards him. He'd go romping off again and check in 2 min later. He just wanted to be sure I wasn't going to leave him alone.
Have fun with your young pup and enjoy.
He's happy you're there for him and just has to check back to make sure his dream of being in heaven is real.
