“You think dogs will not be in heaven?  I tell you, they will be there long before any of us”.  ~Robert Louis Stevenson

I’m writing this in tribute to my brother’s dog, Cody.  He was an amazing dog – he taught us so much about life.  He did really funny things – if you tossed him a piece of food, he would NEVER catch it in his mouth…EVER!  When he was a puppy, he learned to bark from my other brother’s dog, a bloodhound.  You can imagine a very unique bark coming from a Golden Retriever!!!  He was the best companion to my brother, they traveled in an RV for at least a year, all across the country.  Brett and Cody also lived in the Bahamas for a while – Cody loved being in the boat!  They enjoyed hikes and walks on the beach, bonfires and swimming in creeks, quiet time just chilling and being together.  Cody was always happy to see you – he would roll over on his belly for tummy rubs as soon as he saw you.  His heart was pure, he was an angel.  We miss you and you will always be with us!
