May 6th - A Little Light Romping

We finally got the fence completely installed. The final piece was putting in the gates. Now that it's finished, Kodo has the entire area to run wild and free in the backyard!

Of course, what's the first thing he did when I gave him completely reign of the grounds? Well, he pretty much sat down and started eating the grass down to the roots. When he finished, he walked about 3 steps to the right and started the process all over again.

So, today we decided to take advantage of the yard and romp the pup a little bit. Kodo has been known to get distracted by a few things outside (neighborhood dogs, people, birds, geese, cars, planes, plants, wind, invisible things, etc.) This time with a little trickery (aka treats) we were able to get his attention enough to romp and play a bit. We truly got the full use of the fenced in yard today.
