Porter

This picture cracks me up! It's hard to tell if Porter is trying to give Thatcher a little kiss, or if he is sticking his tounge out saying "neener-neener, you can't catch me!"

Porter is probably the most content puppy I have ever met. He loves to play, but even more, he LOVES to sleep! His new favorite place to nap is in the living room in our Papasan chair. If we leave a blanket in the chair for him, he will curl up underneath it and snooze the day away. But, of course, when he is in the backyard with our other pups, he will just run and run and run until he can’t run anymore. Then he will sit in the middle of the yard and watch the other dogs run. He lets out a few barks when he is really excited, other than that, he isn’t much of a barker at all.

He no longer sleeps in the crate at night. He has gained our trust and now sleeps with his foster brothers next to our bed. He rarely gets up in the middle of the night and when/if he does, it’s just to reposition himself and he falls right back to sleep. He does stay in his crate while we are away from the house, and although he has started to give a little push back when it’s time to go in (nothing a few treats can’t fix!), he still hasn’t had any accidents or chewed up his bedding. Actually, he hasn’t chewed up anything at all. Sometimes you will catch him carrying around a sock or shoe, but he never chews on them…just carries them from one room to another. He is even very gentle with toys and doesn’t rip them apart like some puppies do.

He is a true sweetheart and when the day comes, we will be sad to see him go, but happy to know he has finally found his forever home!
