Calum (formerly Mack)

Melody and I adopted Calum (formerly Mack) just last week, and within 24 hours he was already fitting into the household. This is remarkable because we have two peke/JRT females who are VERY alpha. Calum is so totally laid back they completely ignore him. Within the first afternoon (we adopted him at lunch time) he decided to "let" himself out of the bathroom (he climbed the gate) where he was initially placed for his safety. After crossing that "hurdle," he promptly explored the house, deciding that the kitchen was the BEST ROOM.

His first night was peaceful, and after that there was no stopping him. The next day he was on the couch and in the front window barking at the neighbors with everyone else, just like he'd always been there. He was JUST the right personality for the household, and he and our other small male, Winslow, are actually starting to play with each other.

In the first photo he's wearing his new harness, which he's still getting used to. In the second, you can see his shiny new ID tag as he sits in the papasan chair down in the den.

So far we're very happy with his progress, and look forward to many years with him in our family. Thank you!
