She turned me on to your blog page and I wanted to write and tell you this little story. I met Cody a few years ago along with Janet and I knew he was a very special guy. He was always great to give a rub down to when I would stop by and enjoy Janet's company.<BR/> <BR/>When she moved out to CA she asked for my help taking her and her two cats and Cody across country with her and after a bit of arm twisting I figured I was up for a challenge. Ha! <BR/> <BR/>Well Cody was great on the trip. He always stayed near the van when we made pit stops and never gave us a lick of trouble. Near the end of our journey in the California (?) desert, we pulled into a rest area. They are few and far between in that area and we figured we had better take advantage of it. Janet got out first and I took first watch on animal patrol. I had gotten used to Cody's staying near the van so I didn't even try to put him on the leash, but just opened up his traveling crate and let him out. I guess by that point he had gotten the hang of why we stopped at these places and he headed up the path toward the rest rooms to find Janet, much to my surprise. <BR/> <BR/>Why this is at all interesting is there was a man hanging out near the rest rooms. This guy gave me the SUPER creeps, right from the moment I saw him as we pulled in. A thought rang through my mind, "He has probably killed people." I am a social worker by profession and I pride myself with getting along with others and trying to see the best in people whenever possible. But this man rang warning bells in me I never even knew I had. Cody must have thought so too, because as he ran up the path and got within 5 feet of this man he made a quick 180 and headed straight back to the van and into his crate. I was concerned that he might need to pee on a bush or something, but once he was back in that crate try as I might, I couldn't even pull him out of it. That was all the convincing I needed that we should finish up and get the heck out of there. I thought something was off - but Cody's reaction sealed the deal. <BR/> <BR/>We made it out the rest of the way fine, but I was glad I went out with Janet because you never know who you might run into.<BR/> <BR/>I was sad when Janet told me she had found a new home for Cody, but I loved the story she told me about meeting the two of you... and if Cody reacted so well... well I figured perhaps he had set quite a full plate for himself in this doggie incarnation so it must all be for the best. Having seen the photos I am sure it is a good thing.<BR/> <BR/>Don't forget! That dog has a good sense for people. If he ever decides someone needs to be avoided... TRUST HIM. : ) I sure do!<BR/> <BR/>Be well and give him a big old hug for me.O Susannah!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11736362637296948782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019735291965346421.post-86885730124531028922007-03-22T08:18:00.000-06:002007-03-22T08:18:00.000-06:00Hey Susie!
