Happy Birthday Porter!

August 29, 2014

Two years ago today, while still reeling from the loss of Maddy, and completely unsure we were ready for another dog, I nonetheless sent Jim to the Humane Society to look at a black dog named Jones. I then received a text picture of a dog named Porter and the message “Meet Porter, when I hugged him, he just leaned in for the hug”. That evening, Porter became a Delameter.

Super smart, Porter has a mind all his own, and generally his own agenda. Because of this he doesn’t get off leash time except at the dog park but the thing is, he doesn’t really seem to mind. He is a happy guy as long as the family is all together.
