Tuppence and the Spay Cone of Shame
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…

Tuppence 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…
Best Jazzy Dog (2011-2022)
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…
We got a puppy!
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,…
Boston Terrier 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…

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…
Reddit can be a BT Goldmine
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
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!…
Artists drawing dogs
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…
Dog Agility (Westminster 2019)
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…
Canadians and Snow
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…
Penny Lane
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…
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…
