The dog is named Coda. She is an Australian Cattle Dog and a lot of fun to play with. She gives me and Lissie lots of kisses and we give her lots of snacks! Daddy says that is a mutualistic relationship, whatever that means. Australian Cattle Dogs are really smart, are very athletic, and are great protectors. Lissie and I know we are always safe with Coda around, although our food usually isn't. Below is a link to a really cool website on Cattle Dogs.  Check it out!
