Cody, the puppy from Wyoming who survived parvo, has a new Mom ... our employee Beth! After Cody came back from the hospital, it took only a few days for Beth to fall in love with this wonderful little boy. We realized she was quietly developing a powerful bond with him, and when Beth asked if she could adopt him, we were delighted to say "Yes!"
So Cody follows Beth everywhere as she makes her rounds across the ranch. He stays by her side, never venturing far, and tags along as she walks from one place to another.
We wanted Cody to be adopted by someone we knew -- he really is a special dog -- and now we'll get to enjoy him as he grows up here at the ranch.
I took the photo of Beth and Cody late this afternoon. That's not an iceberg behind Beth ... just one of our many big snowbanks from plowing the drive.

Beth, what a precious baby you have there! Keep us all posted on his growth and, of course, his puppy antics! What a win-win situation for all!

Congrats Beth, on your "new baby"! We hope you will have many years of happiness together. It's even better that Cody knows his way around the ranch and all the others that are there, so he just fits right in! We know you will have a lot of happiness together. Big hugs to you & Cody,

That's so perfect! Congratulations, Beth. And way to go, Cody! I'm sure he had this planned all along.

I'm so excited for all of you. Cody especially. He has a great new mom!
Tell them both "Hi" from Laramie!
Cody looks like he is really getting big.

Excellent! That's a fine dog, and needs someone to be loyal to and work with. Great ending, new beginnings.
