Wayyyy back in the 1970s when I was a little girl, I found an orange and white cat (a stray) walking around our yard. He looked hungry so we fed him some food.....and I named him Snoopy. Snoopy came over daily (obviously he wasn't owned by anyone), and we fed him, plus I remember giving him a bath outside and he ran off with soap suds all over him. LOL Later, a neighbor of ours ended up adopting him until Snoopy passed away.
Just before our nice neighbor adopted Snoopy, my grandfather gave my brother and myself a Boston Terrier puppy at his house. We named her Tobi....Tobi's brother was my grandfather's BT named Pug (Pug is the one who started my interest with BTs when I was only NINE!
). I remember when I first met Tobi, she was playing with Pug in the house. Tobi was a small BT...and we had her for 13 years from puppyhood to her death in 1991 (she was put to sleep after having a very bad seizure that messed her up). I remember going out in the swing and kicking rocks for Tobi to chase in our backyard, and we took her camping with us, plus celebrated her birthdays and Christmas. She enjoyed her snacks and toys too.
Tobi came from a breeder, along with her brother Pug, so my grandfather bought her (as a puppy) for us kids since he noticed that I liked Pug. Tobi was the original name for her so we kept her name Tobi.
After Tobi died in 1991, my brother went to look for another BT for me....he and his wife were in Birmingham, AL at the time, and and he met a breeder for BTs. The only thing that bothered me was I found out that those BTs were in the SNOW at the time at the breeders' house -- too cold for them. Anyway, all the little BT puppies looked at my brother, and all backed away except for one -- which was Pepper (I named her that because of her fur color b/w, and she was full of pep). My brother also saw Pepper's parents there too. So he picked up Pepper who snuggled in his arms to keep warm, and he got my cash to buy her for me. I had Pepper since she was an 8 week old puppy up to 13 years old when she died last December, 2004 at home due to possible heart failure from seizures she had. Pepper was a medium sized to a big BT, but very cute face and expressions...and she also went camping with us, plus we celebrated her birthdays and Christmas. Pepper knew how to open her own presents and she enjoyed her snacks and toys.
After Pepper died in Dec. 2004, almost a year went around with no dog....so we decided to have another BT.....on November 27, 2005, my brother found a BT breeder, so my father and I went in my car and drove all the way up to half way of FL to meet the BT breeders. When we arrived, we met a very nice lady and her husband there. Then I saw kennels there, and then a nice looking BT was getting all excited seeing us, then I saw a older BT in a kennel next to her, then I saw a little one right beside the younger BT. The lady's husband got the little one and showed me the puppy. This puppy is Oreo.....Oreo's mother is the younger BT, and the older BT is Oreo's grandmother. They also showed me the father, who is also a BT, in another kennel (this tells me that they are planning to breed the dogs again). The breeders are for AKC, and Oreo's father won a blue ribbon. Anyway, Oreo is now a 11 week old puppy, and after getting her papers, dog food, etc., we took her home. I named her Oreo because she's black and white, plus she has a spot (diamond or teardrop shaped) on the top of her head. She is now loving her new home, with a new bed (pet portal), new collar, toys, a porch to look out at the lake and the animals.
Can you tell I just love Boston Terriers?

The dogs were adopted from an animal rescue facility, the bird was purchased from a private individual, and the rest were obtained from pet stores.
It's impossible to ignore him like this to ride my bicylce back to home. No Way. He look scare when I picked him up & put him in the basket & walk 4 km back to home with few rainy.
