Skode's father was from Panama. "Skode o lay ee oh!" he used to sing to Skode. One day Skode asked him if "Skode" meant something in Spanish. Because the name didn't make any sense in English. Her father only laughed.

Skode was really not something or someone very easily defined, he explained -- and poked Skode in the tummy. "Skode makes appearances in situations of extreme joy," he said.

For example, Skode sometimes cartwheeled through the hallways of their home in California. Her father would laugh from the depths of his heart and say with a twinkle in his eye: "It is good to be alive!"

Skode grew up and became a busy journalist. She told her father she liked her job very much, but she often felt very stressed. Her father continued his work as a microbiologist. He liked his job, too. But he was getting older and he wanted to retire so he could spend his days taking photographs of the countryside. They spoke on the phone every Sunday night.

"I miss Skode," he said.

But Skode didn't disappear entirely: She appeared in the most unexpected of places. There was one particular meadow where Lori loved to daydream with her majestic Arabian, Vashka. He would munch grass and red clover blossoms. She would lie on her back beneath a particularly majestic pine tree and watch the sky float. Vashka chewed and sighed with pleasure.

A lot of people don't know horses sigh with pleasure. Skode loved that sound.

When Lori and Vashka spent time time in the pastures like that -- doing nothing in particular -- it never took long before both horse and woman felt a goofy kind of kid-like joy. There was no explanation to it. It just was.

Skode turned a cartwheel or two. Vashka smiled.

Very few people know horses smile.

Skode's spirit and Vashka's sighs and smiles are what inspired Skode's Horse Treats, Inc.

Sharing these guanrateed low sugar and low carbohydrate treats with horses throughout the country and even the world, has once again brought Skode to the forefront of Lori Yearwood's life.

One just never knows exactly what Skode is going to do next...
