    I love my Boston!!!! she has her own little story to tell.
    When I lived in TN I bought a Boston a year before from a breeder who was also a farmer. When I was ready to get another one I went back to the same breeder so they would be sisters..right! Well when I got there they had sold all of them. I was heart broken. They did say they had a runt of the litter they didn't think would make it so they had THROWN it out to the pigs...meaning the pigs could eat it. We went out there and the mommy pig had been nursing the Boston for a few weeks or so and the boston thought it was a PIG. When she would walk she would grunt and root in the dirt like the pigs.
    My heart strings were pulled so I brought her home and for over 1 yr this dog still would grunt when she walked and still wanted to root under things. To this day when she gets excited or upset about something she will start to grunt!!!

    She is my little Opal of Essences!!

    That story is great! Made my heart smile! My first three I named after "pigs" because even though, unlike yours who was raised by a pig, mine always reminded me of pigs. I had Piggyback, Porkchop and Petunia Pigdog...Now I have Booger, Bugsy, and Morticia...They are the dog version of a tornado, but I love em! Bubba is a perfect boston name!

    I have a 12 yo Boston named Cookie Louise whom my husband and I love like a child. I found her when I was a sophomore in HS and it was love at first sight. Later that evening we found her "owners" putting signs up and we told them we thought we had their dog. Well they said she was just too much trouble and that we could keep her and that we did! This was a BIG deal people as before this moment I was not even allowed to own a beta fish much less an inside dog. Just proves how awesome Bostons are!!

    Our Boston is the king of the house!! We love him soooooo much and he provides us with everday laughter and love. His registered name is Crackerjack Prince Oswald, but he is known as Ozzy and I call him Ozzyboy! He loves to be taken on walks down our road and explore. Every day is a new adventure for him! He is such a sweetie! I would love to have a houseful of them, but what a handful that would be!! (btw......did you notice my username? hahaha)

    Well being young and not very original I thought she looked like and oreo and thought Cookie was more original than oreo... the Louise is my favorite great aunts name. If you knew Aunt Louise she was fiesty and had an infectious laugh... my mom was going to give her namesake to me as a middle name then decided against it so I passed it down to Cookie!

    I have a little Boston Terror....oops I mean Terrier. His name is Grandpa Lou. My boyfriend thought it would be super funny to name him Grandpa Lou so he could stand in the yard and yell things like "Grandpa Lou stop eating garbage!" and "Grandpa Lou don't poop in the flower bed!" LOL. I think bostons are the best breed. I love that they don't shed and their little eyes are so expressive!! Here's my little guy....

    I've had Boston Terriers all my life, but I don't have one right now. :cry:

    They're so funny and crazy and expressive! They can't just plop down on the floor...oh no, they need a blanket to sit on and they'll fuss and kick it around and then sit on it, decide it's not good enough then mush the blanket around again, nope still not good enough, more fussing and mushing, finally - just right. :drinker:

    They're so sweet, I can't wait to have one again. My brother's Boston Terrier just had puppies after mating with a Shih Tzu...I'll see if I can get the pictures posted. The Mommy is the one that's in my picture over there. <

    I think #3 is the only one that's been adopted so far, the other two are still waiting to find a family. They stil have a few more weeks before they could go anywhere though, theyr'e only about a month old.

    I know this thread is old, but I'm new to MFP and just had to respond. I have two bostons girls, Marley and Joni and a male boston/pug mix (bugg) named Louie. This past weekend we went to a fund raiser put on by a BT rescue group, the Boston Tea Party. There are a few pics on my profile. Go check themout.

    This is the thread for me and my Paddy O'Malley. He is here with me at work. he come with me everyday. 3 years old, 27 pounds of pure love. doesn't bark unless we are playing tug-of-anything. He rocks. he loves to hike. been up to 13,000 feet with us. an 8 mile hike is a piece of cake for him as long as there is some shade. hiking will be so much easier once i am down the rest of my weight.
