She is a little older now but still cute, like most beagles they do their own thing, most cat like dogs Ive met.
I don't remember - did Porthos ever poo?
Riker should have played as the Travis character in TATV! Then no-one notices him and he thinks the holodeck's malfunctioning.
OMG hahaha that's great, no one noticed him..
Not only did Porthos never poo actual starfleet people never pooed either. No toilet, no doggy litter box.. there was that great waste product of an episode though where Porthos peed on a tree.

Was that the one where Archer took his dog down to the Planet of the Easily Offended? The set-up of the episde was just stupid, but Phlox was good as always, and I thought Archer's apology ritual was pretty funny.
Dr. Gillian Taylor: Don't tell me you don't use toilets in the 23rd Century.
Kirk: Well, we don't.
That would have been a nice twist on/homage to TNG's "The Next Phase"
Starfleet perfected teleporting poo out of people before they mastered teleporting people, obviously.
Back when TNG aired I always figured replicator food was optimized so that no waste excretion was necessary. It didn't occur to me back then that would do bad things to one's digestive tract

What a great name for a dog! Have a cat named B'Elanna, but she's not very bright and we joke she's the family pet tribble.
There were some episodes, like Night in Sickbay, where Porthos was the best part.
They should have done one scene, just one, where Porthos had a poo accident. Naturally, the best person to accidentally step into it would be Malcolm, giving him another reason to react to the less than professional ways the ship is being run.
Or Hoshi could put plastic dog poo outside Malcolm's door as an April Fools prank.
Just think of all the threads we would have asking WHY Hoshi had taken a plastic dog turd with her into space.
Bolian child: but.. it's so tiny, is that a bug poo?
Seeing Malcolm quietly put out by something was always a joy. Imagine if after stepping in Porthos's business a couple of times, he conceived that the captain's dog was a wiley arch-nemesis, perhaps even an alien agent trying to sabotage the ship (by undermining its security officer).
A dog on the ship is fine, and I could imagine it being great for the crew psychologically. What's stupid is taking it for walkies on alien worlds without checking the local wildlife is safe (Strange New World) and the local people won't be offended by it (A Night in Sickbay), or try to eat it (title missing).
A Night in Sickbay was actually a twofer, as Porthos not only offended some important aliens (by peeing on a sacred tree), but also picked up an alien disease (from the tree?).
