My dog is a pig

One of the funny, quirky things about Placer is the sounds that he makes.

Mostly in the morning when he gets out of his crate, he will lean up against me and start making this deep low noise...

at first we though it was a growl-y "Good morning"...

Then we though it was a little purr... (he does live with 2 cats at his other house)

This week we realized it sounds just like an OINK.

My dog thinks he is a pig.

From this discovery he has earned several new nicknames- "Piggy" and "Wilbur" among them.

I tried to get it on video, but it doesn't quite work out... I'll work on it though.

It's hard to capture the true Placer in a video- or even in a picture. Such a sweet guy, with a lot of fun personality. He's just starting to get out more and does really well. He went to church for the first time last week and did GREAT- especially considering we teach the 9-year-olds. He went right in and fell asleep. What a good puppy...
