Porter (aka Pummba) is an absolute doll! So far he has adapted very well to his new life and loves to run and play with his two lab foster brothers. He is getting used to the idea of staying in his crate while we are gone and sleeping in there at night. So far, he hasn’t had any accidents. The first night in the crate he barked for about 5 minutes, but once he realized he wasn’t alone, and we were right there next to him, he calmed down and went right to sleep. In the morning we found him laying on his back snoring!
He has been picking up on basic commands very well and has very good manners. He rarely jumps up on people or furniture at all, and if he does, he responds well to our quick corrections. He has not been aggressive with us or our other dogs in any way whatsoever. We can take things right out of his mouth (including treats and toys) and he isn’t fazed in the slightest. He rides very well in the car and usually just curls up and falls asleep.
Our morning walks have been great. He doesn’t pay much attention at all to the cars that drive by or other walkers (unless they have a dog with them, then he wants to play!). He pulls a little, but that nothing that can't be fixed with some training. He hasn't chewed on any of our furniture, shoes, etc., but every once in a while he might run off with a slipper or sock left on the ground. We're pretty sure that is more about the chase than the chewing anyway. After all, he is still a puppy!
He loves to curl up in your lap (if you let him) and give lots and lots of puppy kisses! All in all he is a great dog and will make a wonderful addition to any family.

I met Pooh and Pluto,these are awesome pups. They are so laid back and lovable. It will be fun to see how big they get, we should have a guessing game, I guess 90lbs. By the way, Pooh was adopted today!! He will be living in Brookfield, has a doggie brother and two kids.
