Say Hello to My LEETLE Friend

Remember?

Out of Juice

Has anyone seen my camera battery charger? I knew I had it at Christmas . . . so it's either in a suitcase, in South Georgia, South Florida, Atlanta, or somewhere in between.

Sorry, everyone! No new pics until I locate it, or some amazing benefactor buys me one of these.

Until then, I realized we're coming up on the one year anniversary of the day that we brought Porter home. Here are some pictures from the "archives."



That girl up there - the one looking all full of puppy love - has no idea what she's in for. (But even if I could go back and tell her, she'd probably still be smiling like that. He's a very good little guy . . . mostly.)

Happy Birthday Boy

Porter turned one year old yesterday. There have been many days along the way that I thought we might not make it to yesterday, but now I have concluded beyond a shadow of a doubt that Porter is made out of some sort of new-age polymer and has a digestive system like a wood chipper. Here he is, healthy and happy, in front of the Christmas tree. He weighed 93 pounds yesterday.


This is what Porter looked like one year and one day ago. He weighed about 4 pounds.
