What's in a Name (again, but different)

So, I'll start off by explaining the origin of "Cody". I had started a list about two years ago with potential names (always wanted a male dog). "Hunter" and "Bailey" were at the top of my list, but since then, I actually met people with those names. In order to not associate my dog with people I knew, I went to my third choice, "Cody" (since the only "Cody" I knew was "Agent Cody Banks").

I wanted to talk about Cody's nicknames in this post. It's interesting what names people call him. I will also call him "Honey" or "Baby" (or "Psycho" or "Weasel" when it fits). The other gals I know call him anything from "fatso" (he is NOT fat at all, but I think half of the reason the nickname is used is to annoy me) or "boo boo". However, all the guys that give him a nickname start them with "Little". Like "Little Buddy", "Little Guy", and "Little Fellow". I find it really interesting how different men and women use nicknames. I'm not a psychology major so I have no idea why this happens, but if you want to venture a guess, feel free and post a comment :) (Trying to make my blog more interactive).

By the way, he's 24 pounds now (so I'm 11 pounds away from getting kicked out of my apartment complex since there's a weight restriction on pets). I was also going to post the sleeping pictures but he had a really odd pose last week and I completely missed it. I'm hoping to capture it again in the next weeks.

Tip (from a co-worker) which works: Teaching "High 5" is really easy after they master "Shake"
