If you give a dog a bun...then he'll want an icecream treat...

Today is saturday, we had our third open house scheduled today. Like most weekends these days, I try to "sleep" in a little while and then I get up to do some groccery shopping, make some coffee, do laundry and then we get to work cleaning up for the open houses. This morning we had a little rain shower come through and I ran out to take care of the chickens. I thought that I'd give them a treat and gave them old hamburger buns; this is one of Porter's favorite times to come out because he likes to get whatever treats they are receiving. Today I decided I'd spoil him and gave him half of a hamburger bun thinking he'd sit down and eat it, rather he swallowed it whole essentially. He then sat outside next to the girls waiting patiently for them to kick the bread pieces toward the edge of their pen where he can then reach in and eat some. Today he sat for nearly 45 minutes.

We decided to drive downtown today during the open house and took the pup to a popular dog park we've been trying to go to the past two years. Porter had a blast, I made a new buddy...a great dane pup named murdock who kept sitting on my lap and tried to get into my bag of treats. Made me definitely want another puppy for sure. We tried to take a picture but there was too much chaos for porter to focus. We then drove down the road and had a lunch picnic. We ended the afternoon trip out by stopping by DQ and got a little icecream treat. Porter had been so well behaved I thought I'd spoil him once again today, and gave him a frosty paw icecream treat. Forewarning, the following pictures get graphic

Needless to say, the frosty paw didn't last long and didn't take long to come back up.

We wanted to keep our family and friends posted that we did accept an offer on tuesday evening. Our home was inspected on thursday night and now we're still in the waiting period. Continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers that everything works out well. If things go as planned we close on the home on the 31st of this month and will be staying in an apartment in Austin until mid-late May. We'll definitely continue to keep everyone up to date with our moving news/plans.
