Our Brody Boy





We went to the SPCA a couple of weeks ago hoping to rescue a puppy for the kids, but they had no puppies. At that point, Peyton had it in his head that he really wanted the kids to have a dog. He got online and started looking. I wanted a small dog this time around like a maltese, but Peyton wanted another big dog, so we took it to the kids and they wanted a big dog. We were looking for either a golden retriever or a lab. We found a breeder here in Charleston. She had 2 yellow labs, boy and a girl. We went to look at them and fell in love with the little boy and decided we should bring him home. He took to Riley right away, laying on her and giving her kisses. Caroline took a little while to get warmed up to him, but now she gives him kisses on his mouth. Ethan's still warming up to him, everytime he comes into the room, Ethan runs and jumps on the first piece of furniture that he knows the dog can't get up on.
The name was the hardest to agree on, I wanted to name him Sawyer, but Peyton wasn't too keen on the idea, he said I just wanted to name him Sawyer after the character on Lost, well yeah I did. Then I said how bout Jack. Peyton decided at that point he wouldn't have a name after any character on TV. Peyton liked Body, but kept calling him Cody, as in Cody, my friend Cynthia's little boy. We decided on Brody. We had some friends over last weekend (the Boland's) and she asked if I watched The Hills. I was a little confused and then realized that Brody Jenner is on that show, as in Bruce Jenner's son. Oh well for not naming him after someone on TV, but it doesn't really count, Brody Jenner plays himself, not a character, unless they really are acting and it's not reality TV.
Other than peeing in the house EVERYDAY, he's a really good dog, very laid back.
