this is rod.

this is roddick:

he is named after the great Andy Roddick.  to avoid confusion in our household during the slams (tennis talk for the big tournaments) we call doggie roddick, rod.  sometimes we call him mr. rod, rod-man, rod-pants, etc.  we do not call andy roddick mr. rod, but i would like him to weigh-in on his nicknames if he happens to stop by.  today, rod met a wheelbarrow and boy he did not like this wheelbarrow.  rod typically does not like anything on wheels but we seldom encounter anything besides bicycles.  rod went nuts on this wheelbarrow!

today we have played with toys and his soccer ball (regulation size).  he also obviously enjoys playing with tennis balls.  more tomorrow.
