Cody's 5 months old yesterday!

He had his first trip to the beach. I used a non-digital camera so I need to finish the roll before I can see if the pictures are any good. Here's a recap of the last 3 months with Cody and where he's at now.

He has calmed down a lot (when we were running today, people were commenting at how "well-behaved" he was for a 5 month old.) I think he is play acting "Good Dog", but I can always hope it's permanent. If this is permanent, I would give credit to Cody feeling more comfortable napping during the day in the office now (before, he would get too excited about what's going on), and better weather so we can exercise/play more.

He's also more confident. On Friday, I took him to the dog park and 3 larger, aggressive dogs ganged up on him. I was pretty upset at the owners as they did not call of the dogs. However, I was not too worried about Cody as he normally will crawl between my legs when he feels like he needs protection from me. After cowering a little bit, he fought back and was able to hold his own.
