If we were keeping score so far today, Porter would be the definite winner. Did I mention he was a "counter surfer"? I now have proof that he's not only a counter surfer, but he's a "grab anything the minute her back is turned" kind of dog too and that also extends to the outdoors.
It's been raining off and on today and during one of the brief breaks in the rain I thought I'd sit outside and get some fresh air and also give Porter a chance to run in the back yard. I bundled up my book, glasses, phone and my lunch (the turkey sandwich) and headed out to the backyard to sit at the patio table.
Valuable lesson number one: Porter is just as adept at stealing things off the patio table as he is the kitchen counter. I went to retrieve the ball I had thrown for him which he refused to fetch (what's wrong with that picture?) and the next thing I knew Porter had my glasses in his mouth, which obviously tasted much better than the rubber ball I had thrown him. After a brief chase around the yard and resorting to a distracting treat, I got my glasses back. I opened my book to read while I was eating and that crafty devil just sat there eyeballing my sandwich and then decided to distract me by proceeding to dig a small hole in the small garden area by the house. When I went to get the rake to push the dirt back into the garden, he swooped in and gobbled up half my sandwich (although he did leave the bread - he must not be a fan of whole grain). My Blackberry phone case (thankfully not the phone) was the next casualty of Hurricane Porter.
He's not a dog....he's a canine vacuum cleaner!
