Tuppence and the Spay Cone of Shame

Tuppence wearing her blue inflatable cone of shame after her spay operation

Tuppence’s Big Day: A Long-Awaited Spay Tuppence was born in June 2019 and joined our family in August of that year. From the beginning, she has brought so much joy (and a bit of chaos!) into our lives. But, her spay operation has been long overdue—not by choice, but due to circumstances beyond our control. […]

Tuppence at 5

Tuppence the boston terrier at 5

I should really be posting more pictures of Tuppence. She really is the sweetest cuddliest girl. She also has a chronic ear (or two) infection. Two years of fighting with regular ear aches and we are still trying to find the best way to reduce her discomfort. Needless to say, we continue the battle with […]

Best Jazzy Dog (2011-2022)

Jazzy - the boston terrier

We lost our beloved Jasmina—our Jazzy—in October 2022, and even now, it’s hard to find the right words. Toward the end, though, she began to suffer, and we knew we couldn’t let her go through that. Letting her go was one of the hardest things we’ve done. But what stays with us, always, are the […]

We got a puppy!

tuppy the Boston Terrier

Our new puppy Tuppence is our third Boston Terrier. Tuppence was born on June 19, 2019 (Father’s day). She was the only girl in her litter of four. Originally, the breeder named her Pink. After an agonizingly long 9 weeks, we were allowed to go and pick her up in Our first Boston Terrier puppy […]

Boston Terrier Lantern

Boston Lantern

We purchased a gift for each other (lets call it our 37th anniversary). This outdoor sculpture of a boston terrier has a small lamp at the top. It is bright enough to find it in the dark, but does not actually spread light. It is cute placed among our plants on the deck. Love the […]

Boston Terrier Museum

The Boston Terrier Museum

Yes, for REAL folks!  From some pictures I could see, it looks like an incredible treasure trove!  Bostons everywhere just amazing.  Even seems to be some live ones lurking throughout the shop! The shop is owned and run by Bob Hambright. Located in Floydada, Texas, US, which apparently has a shrinking population of about 3,308 […]

Reddit can be a BT Goldmine

Reddit

Reddit has some interested content, but be careful…it can get nasty quickly. I try to remember to check out the r/BostonTerrier subreddit thread. Some great images and video posted. So cute.

Our “Senior” Dog

Jazzy dog

We just got back from the doggie doctor for Jazzy’s annual checkup. The big news is that the Doc informed us that she is now considered a senior dog – she is 7, even though she clearly doesn’t act it! Her weight is a bit up (been a cold winter) and we got a fresh […]

Artists drawing dogs

Dog Artist

Artists fascinate me. I can sketch about as well as the next person (perhaps a little worse) and I can colour-in things (when I have the patience). Sometimes I capture great moments with my camera – technically well anyway. But there are actual incredible people who draw and have True Talent®. Some even use these […]

Dog Agility (Westminster 2019)

Dog Agility

Really bulldogs are not the most agile of breeds and I often wondered if my little bostons would really be interested in agility. Well, never say never I guess. Rudy is a chunky little bulldog that typically do not excel at this kind of sport. What a wonderful little guy.

Canadians and Snow

Snow dog sculpture header

We do love our snow. Not that we have much choice in most areas of the country. Cowichan Valley in BC doesn’t get a lot of snow but when they do… Well, just look at the creativity! These were all great pics, but you just gotta love the boston terrier snow man and see a […]

Penny Lane

Penny Imagine Puppy

I just love reading anything about boston terriers and boston terrier mixes. This story about “Penny” in the West Side Rag caught my eye because she is such a sweet looking face that clearly shows the bostie lineage. Sounds like she has a great forever home in NYC. You go girl!

Therapy Dogs at the Airport

So what do you think about dogs greeting people at airports? My first reaction was, “how wonderful!”. However, I see a lot of comments from people that feel this is not a good idea. The negative comments focus on the idea that many people apparently do not appreciate dogs in general or who have specific […]
