Y’all… I love this so much I can’t even stand it. ❤️🐸
This little lady has been showing up on the porch every single night like she’s clocking in for her shift. Same spot. Same energy. Just sittin there like she owns the place… and honestly? I think she might.
Portland looks like she’s been sitting on this porch longer than all of us, just quietly judging, protecting, and minding her business like a true founding member of the Porch Crew. That face?? It doesn’t say visitor. It says management. 😅
And the fact that she shows up every night… listen, animals don’t do that for no reason. Especially toads. They pick their spot, their people, their energy. This porch is safe to her. Steady. Familiar. That says everything.
So the porch did what the porch does… we made it official.
We named her. And y’all chose Portland.
And I don’t know how to explain it, but that name fits her like she’s been carrying it her whole life. She looks like she’s got stories, but she’s not about to tell them unless she absolutely has to.
I put “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” over her video because that’s exactly what this feels like. Not loud. Not forced. Just something real… showing up every night without fail. Like I’ve tried to make this porch.
And I swear… the way she sits there?
That’s not a visitor.
That’s porch crew.
P.S. We’re putting her on a Porch Crew t-shirt. As soon as it’s done, we’ll show y’all. 🐸
