Payton,.. the Sweetest Little Setter Boy!

The first is the way breakfast is enjoyed around here, then sleeping on the couch with dad, and then sleeping with me on the couch or anywhere, neck on neck.




























Payton is doing well, He is adjusting to our busy home. We have 2 children, Vicki and Drae, a 9 year old springer, and friends and relatives galore.

There is always someone staying here or visiting.
Payton loves to bark and then run and hide under the table.
He has his moments.. his brave moments like when he looks out the back door that was left open, or when he peeks around the corner to someone new at the door.






With us he is great, he has his spaz moments, like when he thinks our springer should play , she thinks Not! or when the lid to the dog food is left off- he looks around then sneaks a bite or two.



He loves to be with us, so if one of us is in a room with the door closed- he will lay outside of the door waiting.



He doesn't ever cry.
If your in the bath- he sleeps on the mat, if your in the kitchen he lays on the mat and watches.

He has caught on to Grandpa who always has jerky treats in his pocket.
He has learned sit, come , we are working on shake a paw- he looks at us like he'd rather not.
He will do anything our springer will do.
If he has something you don't want him to have , you just take it, he's fine with that.

He snuggles in at night and lays with his head on my neck.







WE love him beyond words, he has a long way to go before he completely trusts the world, but he tries now. He gets in the car, and gets out as long as Libby is there(springer)





We can't thank the rescurers enough, they are like angels in our minds and hearts, and bless them everyday for our great gift.
thanks so much for your time.
