"He's 43 pounds now and almost 7 months old. He's smart as a whip! He's in beginning obedience classes and doing very well :) He's a regular at the dog park and doggie day care so he's really well socialized. I just can't believe how big he is!! The other day I met a lady who says her dog looked just like him when he was little and now he's fully grown and 110 pounds!! I can't imagine Porter ever being that big (but it would be so great if he ever is). :) He's learning to carry an empty backpack now in preparation for a camping/hiking trip this summer. He just has SO much energy :) Hope all is well with you adoptable and adopted creatures." -Sunday
