This part of my site is dedicated to Boston terriers. I research things that catch my fancy and compile them here. Just a way to express myself about all things dog.

I personally adore the little dogs especially Boston terriers and Basenjis, but I must admit I love them all – Labs, Goldens, Corgies, Dachshunds, Shelties, and every combo or heinz57! Each individual dog regardless of breed or pedigree is a fascinating, living, breathing soul that needs love, food and shelter and of course never ending protection and adoration.
