War wounds

Kodo actually got tagged by one of the kitties today- mostly by accident I think.

He and Weeble have this ?game? going where Kodo will bounce and bark at Weeble and Weebs will hiss and make a growly run at Kodo while Kodo bounces out of reach. Then after a couple repeats of this, Kodo turns his back and Weebs will charge at him from the rear growling and tap his tail or foot with a paw. They had been doing this for about 5 minutes, then Kodo sat by us and took a break, while Weebs sat on the arm of the couch. Kodo then starts backing out of the space between the couches, and turns his head just at the wrong moment as Weebs decided to do a sneak attack from the rear. It happened too fast to see well- Kodo let out a little yip.. we took a look at him but didn't see any problems.. until an hour later when he rolled his eyes at me and I saw a bloodshot spot in the corner.. :(

We ran him up to the vet right away- they were able to fit us in- and they stained and scoped his eye to make sure. Fortunately nothing major was damaged, so we got some ointment to take home- the injury should clear up in a couple days. So Kodo got some time at his very favorite place (vet) getting cooed over by a bunch of strangers (very favorite thing!!!). And we got an actual weight on him, and he is 120ish for sure. Whew!

Bernese Mounting Dog

Another first- not so good this time.. :/

So I took Kodo to the dog park in the evening. There were only 3-4 other dogs there, and I was sitting on a bench keeping a general eye on things. Brian called my cel, and I picked it up to start to talk to him, taking my eyes off Kodo for 10 seconds. When I turned back, Kodo was getting a little too friendly with a pretty black lab mix maybe a third of his weight. I called him off and kept an even closer eye on him the rest of the dog park visit. He looked like he was thinking about a repeat performance about 20 minutes later, but I got his attention and distracted him long enough that he forgot about what he was doing. Let's hope this was a one-time thing only... *sigh*

Sloppy, lazy, sprawly puppy-sit

Apparently we are MUCH TOO TIRED to possibly be expected to sit up like a normal adult dog.....

Me and my shadow

Bri is on vacation this week, so I have been able to get out running after work more since I didn't have to hurry home to let Kodo out. Today Bri left before I got back from my run, and when I got home Kodo would not let me out of his sight! He actually followed me upstairs when I went to shower, which he almost never does. So I pushed back the shower curtain to get out, and there is a big tricolor face poking around the curtain- he sat himself down and was leaning on the tub waiting for me to get out! It was the cutest thing- no camera unfortunately..
