This sweet little face? His name is Cody. He’s a feisty little guy. And while he’s ruined the carpets by refusing to be housetrained (a post for another day) he is teaching my son some very important life lessons.

Back in January we adopted this itty bitty Daschsund/Beagle mix in need of a home. The deal was “the boy” would be the main caretaker. My son immediately latched on to the idea. The Star Wars buff named his pup “Commander Cody” and began referring to Cody as his “son”.
