Hi Ali!!! I can relate to you on Porter’s unusual calm personality. I have a very small dog, not even 3lbs (teacup poodle) and I was shocked on how calm she was all the time and not bothered by food on the bowl. Maybe due to their small little bitty bodies, they just naturally sleep more and are calmer than what we expect of a dog. My little one is almost 3yrs old and still loves sleeping more than anything else. She’s very affectionate and loves to play but I guess she does not have enough energy on her body to withstand being as energetic as a normal sized dog! Congrats on Porter, he’s beautiful and adorable, and standing ovation to your camera work!
Bee vision is both crazy and cool. Porter-puppy-slow-motion-montage was a wonderful introduction to the little guy--he's just so handsome. Looks to be a long tailed tit at 14:03; varying types of seeds (sunflower, nyjer, etc.), adding suet, or even dried or fresh fruit will attract new winged visitors..and maybe some unwanted critters too...just depends on your area I suppose. Nocturnal southern flying squirrels frequent my sunflower seeds at night, but I don't mind enough to take the feeders down. Enjoying this wildlife and pet filled vlog! K, back to your puppy loving.
Great update on the microphone issue. Thank you for the in depth explanation. I think it sounds perfect now, Ali. And Porter, too! Oh my gosh. What a cutie. You both are just doing wonderfully with him. He is such an angel. I’m do happy he’s working out. But, of course, he has great fur baby parents in you two. Looking forward to more beekeeping update, as well! 🐝 Fascinating stuff. I’m so happy for the very lovely Millen-Gordon family! Take care! ✨Hugs and kisses to Lumi and Porter.
I’m not a dog trainer, but I’ve kennel trained all my dogs. One of the rules of been taught is not to feed the dogs in the kennel or have the potty pads near the kennel. Just thought to pass a long. 😃
Same. And that it should only be big enough for them to get up and turn comfortably. If they have room to use the restroom with extra space to go sleep, some dogs will do just that 🖤
Oh god my heart has just melted how adorable , and can I say what a lucky little fella to have such lovely loving mummy and daddy and a beautiful home to grow up in wow he’s so sweet xxx
I’m definitely a dog person, mainly because they are the most adorable ever and what I grew up having, but also because I’m very allergic to cats, unfortunately! I love cats but don’t know if they sense that or are just terribly ornery and gravitate to me just to watch me sneeze uncontrollably! But if I go anywhere where there are cats, they seem to seek me out! 😂🤷🏻♀️🤧 Porter is incredibly adorable! I love that you show him galloping along in slow motion! His little legs and feet plodding along in a variety of directions! Sooo precious! I’m so happy he’s a cuddle bug for you! I have a rescue who will only love on people if they have food to exchange for her affection. But each dog has their own idiosyncrasies and personalities and show their love differently! Please keep the puppy footage coming... and kitty footage too! I’m so proud of Lumi for being a good and tolerant big sister! 🥰🥰🥰
We have a bell that hangs from the door which our puppy hits when she wants to go out for a wee!!! It is good being on the door where they are going out of!!! Also I have a soft crate for other places in the house that can have a bed in but you can zip up!!! Both were on Amazon juxxx
Had to stop watching to say HOW ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE PORTER IS!!! ALI - your skills are beyond!!! This is one of the nicest vlogs, just gorgeous!! Wishing you all the best!! 🖤🤍
My fiancé and I rescued a kitten this past August, and I kept walking into him in the middle of the night because he blends into my flooring. Now he’s apprehensive towards me as a result. Luckily for you, dogs seem more resilient (I’ve owned 2 in the past). You both are doing an amazing job with Porter! So happy Lumi is bonding with him. Congratulations on your new family member 🤗
Porter is such a cutie! 😍 Just a word of advice from a dachshund mama - you will probably never be in full control, as Dachshunds are very smart and independent, and were bread to make decisions on their own. Consistency and positive reinforcement have worked wonders with mine, but accidents around the house still happen after 12 years. That said, they are adorable and I would have many more, if I could!
From a dachshund mom: stay very constant/on a schedule with potty visits and any training. Also, they love squeaky toys and play. You are the center of their world.
I loved beekeeping I had three hives on our 37 acre farm for quite a few years. They are just the most beautiful lovely things to work with I bought a centrifuge for removing the honey from the comb it just is the most fun you will find it so enjoyable! The bees when swarming are full of honey and less likely to ever sting anybody. When you smoke them they fill up with honey which keeps them from stinging!
I have a slightly naughty German Shepherd who as a pup would bring his empty food bowl to me in the living room for more. Over a year on, he still try’s it every now and then. His definitely out smarted some aspects of his training! So amazing seeing a dogs character come through... so excited for you both x
You guys are such wonderful fur baby parents ..I trained my dog almost same way as you both .. she now loves the kitchen and her bed /create as well .. much love to u both with your new fur baby ❤️❤️
Do you feed the birds black oil sunflower seeds, we do and get lots of different birds, we have a large male cardinal every day and he mixes well with all the other birds. We trained our dog with the bell and he only rings when he needs to pee or poop, he only uses it we we don’t notice he is waiting by the door, good luck .
Here's a question? Do you have foxes, raccoons in your back woodland? or other predatory animals. Porter is so tiny I would be scared to let him out of my sight. Maybe down the road Lumi can escort him out for added security. We lost a toy poodle once this way. I don't mean to scare you, but just a concern from a Porter and Lumi fan.
I love both cats and dogs...Both are so different from each other. There is a utube channel with two cats UNi and Nami who the owners rescued, anyway these things gallop on his hardwood floors and he has put the correct soundtrack to their galloping gait. Might try that for a little fun soundtrack with Porter? He is adorable and I'm so glad you came around to a puppy Ali. He will bring much added joy to your lock-down...hell, mine too. :-)
So cute!! I would think if u have the bell or clicker outside when Porter actually uses the bathroom outdoors then he will learn to ring the bell inside to use the bathroom outside. ? Is your backyard completely fenced in? Always wondered about that
This makes me miss my doxies, I had two, 16 and 18 years when they passed. The best lovable dogs in the world. But they are also very stubborn. Love Porter.
Hi Ali, I always mean to mention it but never do of course lol, but I think If you could extend the upper cabinet lights to the other shelves inside, it would look so much better aNd not dark holes?! Just a thought! Would it be possible (you being an electrician) lol?
Porter is so so cute especially his little waddles ☺️ We have a dachshund at my mum's and he is not really a foodie, nor does he like the rain or cold, like he'll hide away from going on a walk 😅 Daschund's are also great cuddle pups! You've chosen a lovely companion 🥰
The snuggles will not change as they get older. My mini long-haired dach is 3 years old and still wants to sit on my lap. Also, they are extremely smart dogs.
Lovely vlog as always Ali, Porter and Lumi are such a special addition to you both. So sorry for your loss love to you both xx I think that bird was a chaffinch Ali?
Very enjoyable video Ali abd your puppy is sweet. Liked your jumper as well. We have a house in Salcombe it will be so good to be able to go there soon ! Havent seen it for .months!. Have a great week guys takecare.
Dogs, cats, birds, & bee’s, they are all amazing creatures we get to enjoy🤗 So excited to hear about what you’re learning about bee’s🐝 Thanks for sharing😁
I’m a dog person, the only house cat I enjoy is LUMI, I’m very allergic to cats and most dogs, we have a mini poodle and she’s got hanging bells to go outside and does superbly with it, she’ll be two in March. Porter is precious and all of you seem so happy. xx
I hope you adopted a sweet deserving pup from the local pound, shelter or rescue group/ doesn't look like it.. #adoptdontshop everyone! you don't know what love is until you have a rescue pup!!
I love the way Ali thinks he’s going to control this little pup🤣 when lil’porter has already got him wrapped around his little paw, keeping up that delusion is gonna be harder work than actually just admitting it.
Yes I am one of those people that watch cute animal videos on you tube to feel happy. I think I watched the slow mo of Porter at least 10 times. My endorphins sincerely thank you. 🐶❤️
Hi Ali, firstly, loving the Bee 🐝 facts, how incredible that they can switch their sight to save energy, secondly the bird we saw was a long tailed tit, they are usually in groups, so there will be others around too, you are blessed with having all the trees around you which does encourage our feathered friends, Porter is an absolute joy to watch when you are filming him, loved the slow motion then the speed up you incorporated with the music 😉 Can't wait to see a photo of him and Lumi side by side, what a picture that will be, also if you could please let me know if you received my card I sent to you and Lyds, for when Porter arrived, it said 'Welcome little Sausage' on the front, a Hannah dale/wrendale card Please, I so hope you did receive it, Blessings to you all, one big Happy family x
Omg the bell thing is so complex. I didn't know dogs were that smart go Porter! I just put a hanging bell on my door at the level so my dogs nose could hit it when they needed to go outside. I didn't even think about a push bell, very interesting
Aww Porter, little cute sproutling🖤😍! You both make such a lovely parents to him and Lami meow! And let’s not forget the birds! By the way has Bolly met Porter yet? ☺️
Porter is adorbs! Question about your bird feeder - how soon after putting your feeders out for the first ever time did it take for the birds to arrive? My feeders have been out for 2 weeks and we haven't had any birds come yet. How do they find it? Thank you! 🙂
I LOVE that your content has developed towards more nature, animals, building and learning things.
Porter is absolutely adorable! So glad Lumi and him get along
yea a relief

OMG I could watch Porter slo-mo as my lockdown therapy daily 😍
Porter just warms the heart ❤️ so glad he and Lumi are settling in nicely!
When he runs the tail goes one way, the ears go another way and it looks like the paws go four different ways!
hahahaha
That really is love ! Your puppy is just lovely. Delightful to watch you caressing your small sweetie.
Ali he is adorable and your camera work/editing were exquisite!
I loved your footage of your puppy, it was very well shot, very creative, you really captured the spirit of your pup.
He’s just the cutest!! You guys are such amazing fur parents!!
We hung a set of Sleigh bells from the door and the dog reaches up with his paw and shakes them when he needs to go out for a wee!
Same - I couldn’t toilet train my dog until I introduced the bell then toilet-trained within about 48 hours. Such a great tool!
My pup does too!
So gorgeous, love it when he runs around and plays with his toys. I could watch him for hours. 🐕🐶❤️😘
Me too🐶 so cute
Great update on the microphone issue. Thank you for the in depth explanation. I think it sounds perfect now, Ali. And Porter, too! Oh my gosh. What a cutie.

Wow the sunrise and the sounds of the birds in the nature.... it’s just so so heavenly 🤗 please more of that Ali thank you 🙏🏻
I’m not a dog trainer, but I’ve kennel trained all my dogs. One of the rules of been taught is not to feed the dogs in the kennel or have the potty pads near the kennel. Just thought to pass a long. 😃

I agree...he shouldn't be fed next to where he sleeps.
I agree they don’t normally like to mess there bed, but I think feeding them in their crate stops them thinking that that is there bed!!
Porter is so adorable! How do you stand the cuteness! Great editing! Enjoy him!
Oh god my heart has just melted how adorable , and can I say what a lucky little fella to have such lovely loving mummy and daddy and a beautiful home to grow up in wow he’s so sweet xxx
Nice I want to learn about bees. I’m in admiration with Porter throttling around the house. Very nice footage of the dog.
The porter montage 😍 I can see he’s going to be such a good pup! It seems like you and lyds got this! Like it’s second nature!
I found the bee facts fascinating. Thank you for sharing. It is amazing how they are designed.
Such a fun video of Porter. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
I’m definitely a dog person, mainly because they are the most adorable ever and what I grew up having, but also because I’m very allergic to cats, unfortunately!

That little Porter is a doll.Lucky little man to be part of ur family💖
He is so cute, glad you are all enjoying him and glad Lumi is happy with him being there. Much love xx

Oh my goodness! What is this little ball of cuteness!! I, literally, teared up at about 6:50 mark :')
Total cuteness overload!Gorgeous!💕🐶
Great video Ali! I loved watching because everything in it was very interesting to learn about. The bees, the birds, the doggo!
My dad loved the birds,🐦 so it makes me smile when you're so sweet talking about them and the bees! Nice to learn more, thank you 😊
Love love love Porter!!!
Omg Porter is sooo delicious and also a very happy and contented puppy. Lovely breed.
Had to stop watching to say HOW ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE PORTER IS!!! ALI - your skills are beyond!!! This is one of the nicest vlogs, just gorgeous!! Wishing you all the best!! 🖤🤍
You two are doing a great job. Porter is adorable. Just give him time, he’ll get it.

OMG Porter is so super cute and sweet!
Porter is so incredibly precious ❤️
Such a cute doggy. Ali you are the perfect dog dad.
Love the sound. YES. It's really satisfying hearing the progress! Porter is such a cute sausage
So excited for you to start keeping bees!!!
From a dachshund mom: stay very constant/on a schedule with potty visits and any training. Also, they love squeaky toys and play. You are the center of their world.
Birds so lovely to see feeding xxx
I learn so much from all your videos on this channel. Thank a bunch
Best puppy introduction ever, so talented.

Amazing that's great to hear :)
Porter is adorable. Love the way he motors! Nice bird feeding set up. Squirrels took over mine and scared the the birds away which is a real bummer.
Welcome to the family Porter! I love him!!!
I have a slightly naughty German Shepherd who as a pup would bring his empty food bowl to me in the living room for more. Over a year on, he still try’s it every now and then.

You guys are such wonderful fur baby parents ..I trained my dog almost same way as you both .. she now loves the kitchen and her bed /create as well .. much love to u both with your new fur baby ❤️❤️
Ali, the section with Porter was just gorgeous. Literally should have been the intro! I sure hope you post that on IG because it’s SO well done! ☺️
I adore seeing the birds at your feeders. What a gentle soul you are! And of course, Porter is a delight to see. How big will he get?
Omgoodness!! The music fits perfectly for your little boy! Gorgeous puppy!🙌🏻😂☺️
Do you feed the birds black oil sunflower seeds, we do and get lots of different birds, we have a large male cardinal every day and he mixes well with all the other birds. We trained our dog with the bell and he only rings when he needs to pee or poop, he only uses it we we don’t notice he is waiting by the door, good luck .
Cardinals are lovely birds, unfortunately we don’t have them in the uk
@@davinalancaster217 ,I should have known that but was not into birds when I was a young girl living there.
He is absolutely adorable, you are a really good puppy and cat dad!
Just adorable Potter and Lumi are just most gorgeous little darlings 😍😍😍🙏🏻
Here's a question? Do you have foxes, raccoons in your back woodland? or other predatory animals. Porter is so tiny I would be scared to let him out of my sight. Maybe down the road Lumi can escort him out for added security. We lost a toy poodle once this way. I don't mean to scare you, but just a concern from a Porter and Lumi fan.
So glad about the kitty. You are a really nice person Ali, so normal and modest, no side to you at all.
I love both cats and dogs...Both are so different from each other.

This was so nice. I really enjoyed your “wild kingdom”! 😉
Brilliantly filmed Ali 🌟👏🏼🌟👏🏼🌟
Hi. I’m really a cat person but Porter is so sweet!!! I’m so glad Lumi is ok with him. How lovely. 😀
The snuggles will not change as they get older. My mini long-haired dach is 3 years old and still wants to sit on my lap. Also, they are extremely smart dogs.
Lovely vlog as always Ali, Porter and Lumi are such a special addition to you both. So sorry for your loss love to you both xx I think that bird was a chaffinch Ali?
If Carries dog was there, you would find Porter copying whatever Bolly does, so If Bolly is now toilet trained, Porter will copy (hopefully)!
That's fascinating I never knew
The birds are beautiful.
Porter is beyond cute. He is so jolly small.

Porter is the cutest pup I have ever seen!!!
Ali, your videos are an aesthetic delight! ☺️👍🏻
Porter is 🔥
But i hope Lumi will get as much your attention, as earlier 🙏🏻
☺️🍀
The sound is way better. Porter is a beautiful puppy. I’m a dog person lol I have a Belgian Malinois she’s lovely.
Great footage of a sweet puppy
I hope you adopted a sweet deserving pup from the local pound, shelter or rescue group/ doesn't look like it.. #adoptdontshop everyone! you don't know what love is until you have a rescue pup!!
You are a great creator Ali! Your movie is very romantic, soft, tender, and talented! Thanks a LOT!🎈🎈🎈
I love the way Ali thinks he’s going to control this little pup🤣 when lil’porter has already got him wrapped around his little paw, keeping up that delusion is gonna be harder work than actually just admitting it.
omg he is so so cuuuuute i cannot handle a little sausage
Aww he is just so cute. We just got our 2nd Dachshund, the most loving little dogs. Ps They are a fussy breed when it comes to food
Love Porter so much 😭❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful wee dog .
He’s soooo adorable 🥰

Are you doing The RSPB Big Bird Watch ? 29/31 Jan.
Omg how cute is porter.. Soo funny and handsome x

I agree! If they need to go out and you know your dog, they will come to you or bark.
Aww Porter, little cute sproutling🖤😍! You both make such a lovely parents to him and Lami meow! And let’s not forget the birds! By the way has Bolly met Porter yet? ☺️
