Payton a.k.a. Geddy’s great adventure continues…

Five days after picking up Patyon (Wendy had picked out his new name upon first seeing his picture) he is settling in very well.

Payton turned one year old on Thanksgiving Day. He, along with four other dogs were rescued from a back yard breeder in Iowa. The dogs were in horrible condition, dirty and scared. Good as Gold foster family volunteers took them sight unseen and got them cleaned up.

There are a few small things that we have to work on with Payton, one being loading up into the car.
We need to coax, encourage, and bribe Payton into the car. Each morning we load up into the car and go to the park Fox Riverbluff West, for our walk / run. Once he gets to a certain point he does manage a jump up and into the back seat and lays down all stretched out. Mya gives him all the room he wants with no objection. He lays down for the ten minute ride and is eager to disembark once we get the car parked. Not sure why but when we get back to the car after the walk he is ready and willing and I might say, can’t wait to get into the car. Go figure. Payton might remember the trip home last Sunday and the upset stomach or the long ride from Iowa in a car with April. April is Payton’s rescuer / loving foster mother. The way Payton acts towards Wendy, he is by her side where ever she goes, I suspect he acted towards April. I now understand why it was hard for April to say good-bye to her little boy. He will always be here and I'm sure very happy for her to visit.

Today marked a milestone for both Mya and Payton as evident in this video.

Mya and Payton are saying "Happy days are here again" !
