Porter has had a bout with his immune system and GI tract pretty much since I started training him at 4 months old. He is always happy regardless, but Daddy is getting worn out with the frequent vet visits, and kennel spray-downs. Still, I am positive, he will get better, just have to take it a day at a time. Thank you SO MUCH to Nicole Meadowcroft at Custom Canines, for sending Porter to their amazing vet who seemed to get Porter going in the right direction. We are still having issues, such as a recent ear infection, but I think Porter is fighting whatever keeps attacking his body, and he always greets everyone with a smile. I love dogs for that...no matter what ails them, they still wag their tail.
Most recently, Avery has started tether training with Porter (and me of course). We've had only successful trips to the Zoo, around town, and to Avery's 4 year old Kindergarten (4K) which he started this week (Sept. 4). Not knowing the scenario, we walked the first day with Mommy, Daddy (me), Avery and Porter, but not tethered. This morning we tethered and it was a great, calm, easy success. What a nice walk on a calm gray rainy morning. It was very relieving for me to not have to worry about Avery jolting off into nearby, BUSY, traffic. It was truly a blessing, and I look forward to every morning working with Team AP.
New biking socks Gramma Peegy got him, Casio keyboard in hand, checking himself out in the mirror. Porter rolls his eyes:
Been getting in some bike rides too this year, socks compliments of Gramma Peegy...we LOVE them because when he is in a crowded place they GLOW so he is easy to spot when he sometimes sneaks away:
