It got worse - Labs Gone Wild!

Porter has gotten bigger and faster in the past few weeks and has taken to showing off a bit at the park. Here he is racing three other dogs, two of whom were on leashes and belonged to this gentleman, on laps around the old timer's legs. Porter won once the other dogs had completely tied themselves up.

Despite my telling Porter that he didn't have the ability to be a professional racer, he hopped a plane to Sarasota this weekend for the Saturday evening race at this fine establishment.

Wearing a disguise, Porter entered the third race. He is Number 2. If you could see the face, you would know it is Porter despite the disguise.

He didn't do well at all (no photos available due to some silly "No flashbulbs at the dogtrack" rule). Nonetheless, he has now gone on the Atkins Diet in order to get thinner and is eating nothing but bacon in an effort to get down to his racing weight.
