She is also the reason I have come to love exploring, hiking, learning about dog health and training. It has been fun sharing our stories and learning experiences. Every now and then you read about a dog who has an impact on a family's life - they just seem to appear at the right time. Kodee is that dog.

Kodee took off last night. Found her having a serious talk with the moon. She was trying to "bewitch" the pretty ladies floating about on broomsticks. This HOWL-o-ween, she asked them to let it rain mini pumpkins. The Moon said it is not that easy! We would have to prove ourselves by travelling very far and be brave.

I think this golden sepia black and white version is my favourite. A little artsy and fun. Note someone is missing... that is because Miss Kodee was searching for sticks to chew in the grass.
