What a pretty puppy! This is  Codie, the newest member of Marsha Hoffman-Vaile's family. Codie is  pictured here with Ben who will soon join the family  by marriage  to Dr. Vaile's daughter, DeeDee. Codie is an Australian Shepherd puppy, born here at CHAH on December 8th and shown here at her Puppy Plan appointment on  February  14, 2002, when she weighed 12.1 pounds. Ben tells us that Codie is perfecting her herding instincts already, and that she  is a really great  pet!
