Koda baby is pitch black; he blends in with the shadows. What you can't see in the picture above is his adorable white stripe on his chest. He also has giant paws that are very painful and dangerous. He weights over 37 pounds, which is over ten pounds heavier than your average cocker spaniel. He isn't over-weight; he is just a big dog.
Koda is also a bit of a coward. Ok that's a lie. He is a huge coward. Strangers terrify him. Even strangers he sees every day. Loud noises or even strange noises have him hiding behind me or in my lap. When he is scared he barks at everything that moves.
Koda is very attached to me. He is like my shadow. A shadow that doesn't stay in the shadows. I am constantly tripping over him and or kneeing him. He turns walking through the house; rather I'm going to our room or to the front door into a race. He usually wins unless he slips and slides on the tile floor. If I disappear for two seconds, which happens when he raced me to the wrong room; he acts like I was gone for week. Sometimes when he is following me through the house he looses me for a bit and freaks out. He will scramble after me and slip and slide on the tile floor desperately trying to get traction. It is funny to watch as his paws fly all over the place. I can't count how many times he has slid into walls because he tries to turn to fast.
Awe....
