Cody "The Body" McKinney was a sweet old man we decided to foster with his bonded sister on 10/22/16. He was in bad shape with just two teeth remaining, severe back issues and had been debarked. The prior owner passed and his kin surrendered him. Some vet visits and medication brought him back to life. However, he nearly died from a severe pancreatitis attack sometime later, after which we decided to keep him and his sister Shay permanently.
Cody had a rough life but we did everything in our power to nurse him back to health. I think we did ok but his health continued to deteriorate. Cody developed a grade three heart murmur, had high calcium levels, developed growths on his neck, lost fur, etc etc. Cody didn't care though. He was a grumpy pup, loved his bed and was my alarm clock on time every at 4:00 AM and 4:00 PM when he wanted food. He got confused sometimes and got lost in the house but never forgot where his food bowl was.
Rest in peace Master Cody, Coco 🐻, and God knows how many other names we gave you. We and Shay miss you terribly. Please take care of my Marley and Kali.
