James Kennedy has a new name for his dog, Graham, after the animal was discovered at an animal shelter and returned to him earlier this month.
As the 31-year-old Vanderpump Rules star took to his Instagram account to share the news of the name change, he and his co-stars were seen in Los Angeles after arriving home from Lake Tahoe, where Tom Sandoval, 40, reunited with his co-stars while wearing an “I Feel Fine” T-shirt.
In photos shared by the Daily Mail on July 21, Sandoval was seen reuniting with his castmates on a number of occasions, including an outing in which he was wearing a black and white country-style button down, and another that featured him wearing the telling T-shirt.

According to the outlet, Sandoval wore the T-shirt while tubing with Tom Schwartz, 40, on Wednesday at the Heavenly Mountain Resort in Nevada. And, judging by the photos, he did feel very much “fine” as he was seemingly welcomed back into the group by his co-stars, who had previously ousted him for cheating on Ariana Madix, 38, for months with Raquel Leviss, 28, whose been visiting family in Arizona after a two-month stay at a treatment center for mental health concerns.
James and his girlfriend, Ally Lewber, 27, as well as Brock Davies, 33, the husband of Scheana Shay, 38, were also seen tubing with the Toms.
Following the Lake Tahoe getaway, a number of members of the Pump Rules cast, including Ariana, who didn’t go on the trip, were photographed back in Los Angeles.
As seen in photos shared by Page Six on July 21, Scheana and Brock were spotted with friends on Thursday as Schwartz was seen wandering around with a backpack and Ariana was seen in a sweatsuit.

Regarding the renaming of Graham, James explained the decision on social media with a cute photo of the pup.
“We’ve decided to rename this little beauty ‘hippie,’” James confirmed in a post shared to his Instagram Story on July 23. “This is a tribute to my late godfather, George Michael’s [dog’s] name… the only dog I saw around the house growing up, although George and hippie are in heaven now together I know that they are watching over me now, a proud doggy papa!”
Vanderpump Rules season 11 is expected to begin airing on Bravo sometime later this year or early next year.
