Dog in Train-ing
We’ve been looking around for a puppy lately and yesterday we brought this little fella home. His name is Samson/Raz/Blue/Taz/Grey/Beans/Truck/Buckey/Buck and so forth. We’ll probably go with Raz but it’s still under negotiation.
Zane thinks the dog is very funny. We went for a short walk, with Zane in the stroller, and he was babbling the alphabet and giggling at the dog the whole time. By the way, the alphabet wasn’t really part of the walk or dog, he seems to have a pretty steady alphabet monologue going these days wherever we are. Zane’s also decided that a dog’s life is for him. He’s started chewing on the puppy’s Kong and after the dog finished drinking water Zane crawled over on hands and knees to attempt the same.
Wish us luck!
I vote for Bean

Is this puppy from the South too? Jackson? Beans Jackson? Jenna named our little grey kitty Elliot and I just can’t get my mouth to call her that. So I just call her Little One when she is good and Beelzebub when she is awake.

Yep. The puppy is from the South.
The pets in the South don’t get spayed and neutered like we do up here. So, many of the offspring come north for adoption. There is a whole internet network and they are fostered in homes across New England. It can be tough to see them (aka arranging).
They are taken to the vet for all their first shots and nursed to health if necessary.
The foster homes can have a permanent dog or two or more, and the fosters are put in the pack. Works well for comfort!

Faith: I haven’t been spayed or neutered, yikes…
