Good Bye Sweet Boy

Cody Crossed Over to Rainbow Bridge

Cody Crossed Over to the Bridge on November 9, 2006. Cody had many ailments, and was the bravest little dog I knew. Despite the Epilepsy, IBD/pancreatitis and severe allergies, with the help of our wonderful vets, Cody lived a happy, basically painfree life, and was very active, in flyball, agility, therapy work, hunting, hiking and being a cherished pet. He will forever be in my heart. Cody may you run and hunt rats, play flyball and be a terrier, free of pain and any discomfort. Thanks to everyone who has sent wonderful messages to me and Callie and Wyatt. God Bless you all.


Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Flyball Fanatic!

Cody learned to play flyball as a way to get his boundless energy out. He quickly became a steady and reliable height dog for all the teams he ran with.
After 4 years of flyball, we figured a change in venue would be good, so he went back to agility training, he has competed in NADAC, CPE and JRTCA agility.

Cody was named Reserve Champion Veterans Go to Ground Under both Saturday and Sunday, Saturday he ran a 5.06 and Sunday a 4.88
