I know his dog tag says Cody, but his real name is Dakota, and so ‘kota is probably his real nickname.
One evening while he was sipping tequila (he likes it chilled and straight) and smoking a fat cigar (he just lets the cigar burn in the dish or hang from his lips because he lacks opposable thumbs) he mentioned that he thought girls responded more favorably to gentleman-dogs who have names ending in the long eee sound (rather than ending in an "ah" sound). He announced then and there that he wanted to be called Codeeeee (“just call me Codeeee from now on”).
I told him that Codeeeee has too many letters, is confusing for spellcheck (good grief even auto spell changes it to "code") and that he could get the same pronunciation that he thinks is so endearing by introducing himself as "Codi."
He said, "You are quite a wealth of knowledge man friend, I didn't know any of that at all," and immediately began practicing pursing his lips just so to say the “i” in Codi like multiple “eeees.” After several hours of listening to him make that irritating "eeoeooeeeewww" sound, he finally got it by putting his toe pads on either side of his mouth and pressing as he staccatoed out the second syllable, and out came "CO-DI." He was as surprised as he was satisfied and announced “Codi it is!”
