Boston Terriers
Happy Halloween From North!
Seems only fitting that my little food scavenger was fitted up as a pirate! Thanks to my mom, North didn't have to go costume-less today — and he thought not one, but two ensembles last year meant he would have a break in '09?! Not quite, little boy.
Famke and Licorice's Big Bike Adventure in the Big Apple
Well hello there, Licky, how I've missed you! The now-8-year-old pooch tried out a different fitness routine — biking. There's been some recent news out in California about banning even recreational cyclists from walking running dogs due to the dangers presented to nearby pedestrians, but this pup seems to be in the clear for people territory.
Do Tell: Could Your Dog Climb a Ladder?
Summer's officially over. Sigh. I like to think North and I are best suited for dry-land adventures (or boat trips, of course), but this Boston Terrier gives me hope.
Happy Eighth Birthday, Licorice!
Someone's having a birthday today — Licorice! Famke Janssen's adorable smooshy turns eight years old today. To honor the anniversary of this Boston's birth, check out her favorite traveling and shopping buddy from coast to coast (and Canada!) in this slideshow!
Do Tell: Do Your Pets Open Boxes?
My lil boy will open a present on command but I can't see him digging into a box! I'm totally impressed by the chompers on this Boston:
Would your pups (or cats!) dive in teeth or claws first and act as your furry package and letter openers, too?
Do Tell: Will Your Pets Destroy Your Things?
"Oooh, Scooter, Daddy's gonna be mad!" Um, yeah, I'd say. This owner came home to quite the pleasant surprise disaster — not to necessarily cite this as pro-crate-training evidence, but I know I'd look into it after one day of cleaning up this mess.
Breaking News: RIP, Monk — Q-Tip's Boston Terrier!
It's a sad, sad day for smooshy lovers as rapper Q-Tip tweeted today the death of his Boston Terrier, Monk:
Monk my dog has passed on. . .
Super-Cute Video: Boo Takes the Cheese!
Oh, Boo, you silly villain! If you're gonna take the cheese, you shoulda thought to hide it . .
"Boston Terror" Chronicles: North Vs. TubNub (and Microfiber Towel)
Although I like to think North is pretty neutral to bath time, his pals at Wag Hotel tell me he loved the hydromassage he got on his last stay. In an attempt to recreate that at home, I tested out the FURminator TubNub ($13) on my pooch. A rubbery tool with nubs to massage a pet, work in the shampoo, and stimulate hair follicles during bath time, North seemed to enjoy this easy massage and it left my other hand free to hold him steady.
What Do You Know About Boston Terriers?
Sometimes I feel like a walking Boston Terrier encyclopedia — after all, my love for the smooshy breed goes waaaay back . . .
