Porter is one of our grand fur babies. He belongs to our second oldest daughter. Porter is a Boykin Spaniel and has been in the family since he was a puppy. Boykin Spaniels are intelligent, energetic dogs bred primarily for hunting which is why our son-in-law chose him. I am not sure how he really rates as far as hunting goes but as far as a member of the family he rates a 10 with us!
Porter looks super dashing here in his bow tie for their wedding. He is handsome and very photogenic. We are not the only ones to think so either. Our daughter filmed hilarious videos of him like one with him walking with socks on his feet. Porter is the family star for another reason too! He starred in a short hilariously funny video clip of him on a water slip and slide. That video actually made it into the finals on the “America’s Funniest Videos” TV show. He didn’t win the number one spot but he did give millions a good laugh and make us all proud!
Porter has major allergies that unfortunately affect what he can eat without making him react. He is very limited to a few select dog food brands. But Porter prefers an opportunistic stolen tasty morsel of food from any occasion he can spy. This has landed him at the vet’s office quite often making him an expensive keep. Regardless of his upkeep cost, he is the most loveable cuddle bug around. He is an especially loyal companion to our grandbaby and daughter when they are not feeling well. Porter remains faithfully by their side. I love that the most about Porter! For all these reasons I chose Porter to be our first Fur Baby Friday Valentine 2021.
