He is SO SMART. He's fetching already, and is much, MUCH better on the lead already than Wallace was, as biddable a dog as Wallace is. The two of them are good buds already--Wallace taught him about poo-ing outside, and for that I am muchly grateful to him.
It was so funny--he watched Wallace poo, took a few sniffs around to find his own spot, and then squatted.
And there was much rejoicing.
He's asleep with his head on my foot right now--we had a nice long walk, and now he's sleepy.
Tory wakes me up every morning at 6:30am by climbing onto my bed and shoving her nose into my face. "GET UP. YOU HAVE TO FEED ME AND PLAY TUG ROPE WITH ME." Then I grab her lips and blow morning breath into her face, which she hates, and it turns into a wrestling match which I always win because hey, she may be an 80lb rottie, but I AM MOM and I HAVE FOOD.
You were right. You Need Puppy. What is Puppy's name? He looks boston-ish, but seems large - is he some Staffie mix? OOOOH PUPPY!!!
Has your Da met him yet? He will help your Da tremendously.
Da is still down in MD with my brother, but I'm expecting them to become good friends.
He's five months old, and shouldn't get much bigger. ACA registered Boston Terrier.
I'm inordinately pleased--he is SO GOOD. His brother's markings were a little prettier-more black on the face--but seemed much more aggressive. He would attack Bean (that's the name--'cause that's about how big he is!), and Bean would go down on his back, so he's used to having an alpha around, which makes life easier for ME, to be sure. No dominance issues to deal with. Also, when I picked up Bean, he LICKED my face. When I picked up bro, he CHEWED my face. So I think we made the right choice.
Yes you did. We also did not pick the dominant of the litter - and Tory's been perfect with the whole family, even when little kids come to visit.
I thought he was closer to Pit - I never saw one with that much white on his face before. I think it gives him a delightful charm.
I miss puppy breath. Sweetest perfume on the planet. When he's old enough - the Costco brand of dog food, the one that's corn and wheat free, if it's as good as their similarly made catfood, that stuff's fantastic. (I can't recommend it directly, as we feed Tory a raw paleo-diet.)
Bean. We had a choice of many Bostonian names--Quincy, Milton, Fenway, Chowdah, Bobby, Jack, Teddy or Joe. But he's just a little Bean. And he's got a little spot on the top of his head that LOOKS like a little Bean. So he's Bean.

There is nothing in the world like Puppy Breath.

One of my coworkers, who is about 6-foot-4, has a little Boston named Oreo. She can jump from the floor to his shoulder when he's standing up.

It's like his whole skeleton is one giant spring.
