And P is for…

Porter!

I have received my fantastic little black lab puppy today, and his name is Porter.  He is just SOOOOO cute, I cannot handle it.

Okay, before words, pictures.

Being handed little Porter, and touching him for the very first time.  Truly, it was love at first cuddle.

He’s such a cutey patooty.

And really likes me!  Look how relaxed he is!

He’s spilling all over the place in these pictures, but he really is just a little guy.  He fits in my arms quite snugly, and his shoulders barely comes up to my mid-calf when he’s standing.  SO LITTLE!  *snorgle*

I’ve been snuggling the little bugger all day, and can’t manage to stop myself.  He’s just too damned cute.  I also wish I’d gotten a picture of it, but upon coming home, I showed him my (our) bedroom, which has a bunch of floor-length mirrors in it.  He kept trying to get the puppy in the mirror to play.  AWWWW.  The cutest was definitely when he crashed face-first into the mirror, thinking that it was another dog.  Poor guy.  It’s a good thing puppies are so tough– he’s cracked his head on so many things already.  🙁  But he’s getting the hang of it.

He also hasn’t quite gotten the concept of "peeing is for outside."  Pooping, yes.  Peeing?  Definitely a rug/floor activity.  So we’ll have to work on that.  The little piddler.

Right now he’s sleeping under my desk chair, and has a little snore.  I can’t stop squeeing inside from cuteness (*squee*).

He is just so little, and has this little waggly tail, and this cute little smile, and a little wet black nose and I just want to squeeze the stuffing out of him.  But I shall not, because then he would not be as cute.

Yesterday Bryan, Carson (a friend), and I all went fabric shopping for curtains for our house.  It was pretty fantastic, and we got some good stuff.  I also got some fabric for a dress that I’m going to make for Dave and Ally’s wedding this summer.  Hopefully it will be really cute.  It’s a very 70s style cut (stole on of my mom’s prom dress patterns, haha), with a silky kind of paisley pattern.  So, it will definitely be different, but hopefully quite attractive.  I’ll try to remember to post pictures when I finish making it.  That is to say, I can start when I convince my mom to let me steal the sewing machine.

And really, I have not much news, except for how damned (DAMNED) cute my puppy dog is.  My puppy dog named Porter.  😀
