Same dog, different name.

[Uabassoon]

So I think Alexa and I have finally settled on a name, we are calling him Payson. His vet visit went very well today and he is doing well in the house. He's doing well on the potty training, and he seems more comfortable now. He's LOVES to take naps cuddled up next to you on the couch.

He's in the middle of a nice long stretch.

He looks like he is pretty comfy too me. :D

[shais_mom]

aaawww
I like whatever name you choose! :)
I have a friend from college that now lives in Payson.... :)

[gemini9961]

I like Payson. Glad the vet visit went well. :)

[PJ's Mom]

Little Payson looks so handsome in his bandana! Yay for the good checkup! :D

[K9karen]

What a handsome boy! Great name too! Yippee for a great vet visit!!!

adorable

In addition, Payson is doing GREAT as far as housebreaking goes; earlier this week he pottied in the house every single time I had my back turned and today not a single accident. Of course, he's not 100% potty trained but I can see quite a bit of improvement even after a week.

Crate training is still a bit of a struggle. He has a bit of seperation anxiety (which seems to be lessoning as he settles down and realizes no, we're not going to abandon him), and although he's by now perfectly fine being in the crate when one of us is in sight, freaks out when no one's around.

Payson is such a cute name. Matches his cute little face perfectly :)

Have you guys tried covering his crate with a light sheet and leaving a radio by it? Then he wouldn't really know if you guys were there or gone and he might be more at ease. I do that with my difficult-to-crate-train fosters and it seems to work really well.

[Ginger's Mom]

I am so glad everything went well at the vet's. What a handsome boy Payson is. I am sure that he will be potty trained in no time. :)

[Susa]

Payson is very handsome! I love his stretch picture.

[dukedogsmom]

He is such a cutie pie! I love the name Payson. Very unique and unusual. I'm glad he's working out so well.

[lv4dogs]

Payson is a great name!
Glad to hear that the vet visit went well.

[ramanth]

What a darling! Glad the vet visit went well and I love the new name. :)

Welcome to PT grybai. Is that you Alexa? :)

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Another gorgeous PT baby

[crsvstang]

He looks like he is comfy! Great name!

[ParNone]

Congrats on your new furkid, Uabassoon! He's a cutie! Love the pic of him stretching. Looks like he's fitting in great with y'all.

Par...

[Kfamr]

Love the new name, but I also loved the other you had chosen.

He looks like he's fitting in just nicely. Any other introductions with the cats?

He looks liks such a sweetheart. :)

[Uabassoon]

Any other introductions with the cats?

He is a little bit afraid of the cats, but other than that it's going well. He mostly just ignores them because he'd much rather be getting attention from us than bothering with the cats! Tuna could really care less about him and Pocky is a little afraid but once she realizes that he is just as afraid of her I'm sure they will be fine.

We keep a baby gate on Alexa's door so that the cats can jump over to go in and out as they please. Payson is great about not jumping on or over the baby gate so the arrangement seems to be working very well.

[Jamieejo85]

Aww, he is precious. Glad he is doing well:)

[RobiLee]

Payson is a cutie and I like his new name. Look forward to lots of Payson stories and pictures.

[AdoreMyDogs]

Yup, it's me and thanks. I've been lurking for a while and have very occasionally posted on the cat side.

He is such a cutie! I really like his name. It took me awhile to come up with a name for our new puppy. I got some help thinking up names.;) I bet Payson will bring you both a lot of joy.:D

Good name, I don't know anypup named Payson but him! I am glad to hear he is settling in well, and even that potty-training is going so well.

Keep up the good work, Payson, and tell those girls to give you a biscuit or two from me, just for being so good! Kisses to Payson, and a bellyrub!

[Suki Wingy]

Awww.. WELCOME HOME PAYSON! You have the same bandanna as Niño! Thanks for telling us about the pet stuff at the $1 spot! It looks good on Payson!
