Porter's Page!

He's actually only gained six pounds since we got him!

 

You only REALLY see the difference when its someone elses pup lol

I cant believe my cody bear is 6 1/2 yrs old already.

Enjoy it!
Every days a gift!!!
They grow fast.

 

Im waking up for a walk with cody back to the swimming hole.

You and porter have fun.

 

This is interesting, I did not realize the specific impact of earlier spay/neuter, other than the obvious cutoff off hormones. I currently don't have any larger breeds, but I can think of instances even in smaller breeds (mostly rescues) where a very early spay/neuter likely affected their growth. I tend to wait as long as possible, but never 2 years. I will definitely consider waiting longer in the future!

 

We were told to wait a year for our Male lab.

 

Finally got his nametag from Chewy...

 

Porter sees his reflection in the fireplace glass, thinks it’s another dog, and intensely barks at it...

 

Porter finally getting his first ride in the Tacoma!

 

I’ve had this blanket for like 25 years!

 

I don’t think Porter knows how to drink a beer...

 

@Pinay

Porter is asleep in his crate next to my bed, and he was kicking and making these weird squeak/yelp noises...

 

Actually, I don’t think he’s quite asleep right now...

 

He’s probably dreaming.

 

Like in The Fox and the Hound, where Chief smells Todd and dreams he's chasing a fox, then wakes up and realizing there actually is a fox in his barrel with him? I watched the movie for the first time in years on Disney Plus maybe four months ago, and found out the hard way that I could not get through the part where Widow Tweed brings Todd to the game preserve and leaves him there without crying, on account of having lost my 1-year old dog Mandy to a congenital kidney defect last July...

 

Porter playing with my friend’s neighbor’s Bulldog puppy...

Porter made some new friends!
