[@MrThumper1440]

The only thing I hate about Bostons is that they don't live forever. I dread the day......tears rolling down my face thinking about it.

Having just lost my Maltese mix in December and got a BT in March, I know how hard it is. I can't believe I'm going to go through it again, but here we are! Life is better with a dog!

[@brianbooher7318]

I have had my boston, Tessie, since I was 10. We both have March birthdays and this year I will be 22 and she will be 12. Honestly, Tessie is the best thing to ever happen to me. Whenever I think about how much I love this dog, it always brings me to tears because she has been with me through the formative years in my journey to becoming an adult. I couldn't ask for a better companion and first child. Bostons are truly the best dogs.

[@carollecook8961]

I am going to read your sweet comment to my husband. He and I miss our Boston. His name was Bailey. I agree with you, they are the best dogs in the world, and Bailey will always be in our hearts. It would be fun to share our stories of our special dogs. I’m so glad you have Tessie to enjoy and be comforted in your young life. I have a granddaughter just your age, and a younger one too, she is 16 years old. They remember Bailey well, our unforgettable companion. ❤

[@rebekahtodd3293]

For baths, something that I found really helped was to fill the bathtub to where it touches their chest or the tops of the legs. My Boston hated having water poured over him. I think he really didn’t like the sound of the faucet. So, I filled the tub to about halfway full and put him in the tub once the water was turned off. He absolutely loved it! He was completely content and relaxed and he didn’t look worried at all.

[@musclemary2227]

Thanks for the advice!! I'm going to try this, mine hates the shower and she shakes 😢 it makes bath time horrible because I feel terribly.

I started playing with my BT's feet & toes from day one, so he doesn't mind having his nails trimmed. He doesn't mind his baths either. He doesn't like rain, heat or cold, but I don't blame him! Most of the time he is a dream come true, but he can be a little monster at times too. LOL But he is my baby and I love him

[@april82daisies]

They’re very sensitive. Ours hides when someone gets overly emotional (crying or shouting)... hates rain!!! Hates cold. Definitely wants to go with us everywhere. Tunnels under blankets to nap or sleep for the night.

[@LG-cb2gw]

My Boston is scared of his own farts. Most are silent but deadly, but when he lets off the occasional loud one, his eyes go wide and he will run away from his own butt and get as close to me as possible for a cuddle 😂 Love him so much!!

😄

[@brigittelebelmercier5980]

Omg funny🤣🤣

[@TheJollyMisanthrope]

We had a Boston that, as a puppy, would squeal and lean back to inspect his backside when sitting on the dining room floor. We thought his leg might be hurt, or he was having hip issues, but in reality it was his farts vibrating against the wood floor that scared the heck out of him.

[@treefrogmusicdanceeducatio7315]

Our Boston ignores his own farts but gives us a dirty look if we fart

My Boston 4 year old takes showers with me once a week. She is not happy about it but excepts that she has to. Grudgingly, like a soldier, she walks In the shower without having to coaxing her. But she is so happy when she is clean and being held with a towel rapped around her. I tried to get her used to swimming on a really hot days, but to no avail.

[@heliotropeskies5918]

my boston loves snow it like energizes him. he is usually like a big fat lump on the ground but when its snowing he runs around and digs in it and loves it

Our Boston hated when we went on vacation without him. We took him most of the time because he was such a good boy. But when those suitcases came out he would sit at the door till we opened it and then jump in the car and would not move. He would stay there for hours while packing the car.

[@Juliano_DJOL]

Pretty spot on list! Nails baths doorbells and not going also cold or real hot!

[@annmariebarreiroart]

My Boston Terrier named Leo actually likes to jump in the snow so I was definitely shocked to know that most don't like it. Everytime he has been in the snow he has a coat on so I don't know if that makes a difference. But Leo definitely doesn't like being left alone and he also doesn't like when I'm in my room with him but I'm not paying attention to him for awhile. I'm in college so I have to sit and do school work at my desk and periodically he will try to get me to play with him if he isn't sleeping

[@bruno_citlau6805]

My Boston terrier also got cured from doorbell he just kinda starts stretching instead of barking and my Boston loves baths every time we play he drags me to the bath tub for a bath. AND HE LOVES SNOW and kinda just waddles around in it and just LOVES IT XD

[@ZShannaHeartZ]

My boston is super affectionate and scared of snow, but he doesn’t seem to mind rain! He follows me everywhere and always needs to be close by, and he likes to be under the blankets with me! He’ll actually try to dig at them to get himself under sometimes lol

My Boston Terrier goes out in the rain and loves it. When we had snow, she ate the snow and really enjoyed running around in it. Also, she hates her nails getting trimmed. She is ok with us leaving as long as we play Alexia and her lullaby's. She goes into her kennel with a blanket her mom slept on: she is now going on 8 Mo's old. We treat her when we return, and it usually includes a 20 minute running in the backyard. Great video!

[@lilyseven5769]

My BT doesn't like the rain, but he has not yet experienced really cold weather or snow. I do know that he can't take the heat. During the summer, he would pant and want back in the house fairly quickly. I always kept a bowl of fresh water close by and he appreciated that! He is so far enjoying the cooler temps and does zoomies in the yard. He doesn't mind baths or trimming his toenails tho.

My Boston Leo also has a hard time in the summer and prefers cooler weather. My family got a puppy a few months back and they actually do zoomies together outside

I have 2 Boston’s and can relate. I live in Wisconsin so when it snows I shovel out a section in the grass so they can do business. Works like a charm and I repair grass in spring. Rain I wait for it to slow to a sprinkle or downtime. That seems to work. Sweaters and jackets are a must

Same here on Long Island, NY. I'd always shovel a clearing for him in the snow and reseed in spring. I was thinking of getting one of those outdoor ice melt pads. Save a moms back😉 Snow, rain, thunder, my Ninja blender not his thing at all ...

[@zambranaml]

We've got a Boston-Chihuahua mix that doesn't like getting his nails trimmed, but he'll sit for at least one paw's worth of work at a time. He used to hate it a lot more, but then he saw our other dog (a longhaired dachshund/wire-haired terrier mix) throw an absolute crying fit at the groomer's one day during a nail-trimming. Since then, it was like something clicked in his brain--a combination of "I don't want to be like that" and "I'm the better dog and I'll prove it"--and he's been pretty good about it since then.

Try giving your pup a soothing XP after going out in the rain, a couple nice dry towels and rubbing their ears or a heated blanket so they know that going out in the rain will later be rewarded with a nice loving and comforting time afterwards.

Life is definitely better with a Boston 🤠 I would say the top 8 on your list ,pertain to all dogs(with the exception of storm drains) that one is new to me. Although we have an Australian Shepherd mix that is terrified of laundry baskets and garbage cans? Cold weather, absolutely a no go with Bostons! We are on our first Boston, we’ve had several other dogs, never seen anything like it. Refuses to go out in cold or rain.Whenever she sees the leash come out she’s all over it, so I’ll be curious to see the next time we have snow?

[@SnowWalker1]

Rain is def number one. But not only does my Canadian Boston hate the cold she also hates high temps. She just drags behind and then starts hyperventilating. She heads straight for all the shady areas. We have a bench under a tree along our walk where we stop and have a drink and then she'll lay completely splayed out on the grass under the bench, trying to catch her breath as if we had run all the way there lol. We have to make her a shade tent under a picnic table at the beach. She runs around the beach then comes to splay out under the table-tent for a while. One winter when we were almost home from our walk and were trudging through a narrow pathway in the snow, and boy it was cold too (but I tried to get her to go for at least a little walk) all of a sudden, she stops dead behind me. Wouldn't budge and inch. She's 20lbs, heavy for mommy lol but I had to scoop her up and carry all the way back. After that I always stick to the easy walk on cold winter days. When it's snowing heavy she goes ballistic! Scooting every which way, back and forth like a crazy person, lol. Her name is Bella too.

[@thomasgistinger1885]

Our Bostons relate to some of the issues, but our female "Tapanga" loves the snow.. We live in Michigan, and when there is fresh snow, she loves to run around and stick her face in it.. The issue of leaving the house and going some where without them.. Our male "Mr Beans" will get upset and poop on the floor to show his disappointment..LOL

Ha we live in the PNW where it rains all the time so we got a buggy for Frank. He goes apeshit crazy when we bring out the garden hose or even water outdoor plants with the water can. Attacks them, really loses his mind. I like that he barks when people come to the door. One reason why have a dog! But when we walk outside he goes crazy when he sees another dog so we just pick him up (he’s small). He is the best dog we’ve ever had: sweet, loving, chill, funny, playful, gentle..we are head over heels in love.

Clyde is our first Boston and he is a great dog! So smart! As far as begging at the table, he doesn’t and we have a bed which he lays down to sleep while we eat.

My first Boston, Maxine, hated rain, and walking in the sun on hot summer days ( she would insist on dashing into all the shadows along the way). She also hated being left alone in the house, though she did get used to it eventually. She also hated when someone knocked on the front door and would bark loudly which was she never otherwise would do. She could not stand to be kept out of the room when there was company. She hated wearing dog booties to walk in snow or slush and would tear them off with her teeth. So we would have to wipe off her feet whenever we came back in from a walk outside in snow, sand and salt.

We also have four month old brown female Boston that goes nuts when the doorbell rings. She and our 13 y/o JRT/Chi mix both go insane.

[@the.chekhov]

Our Boston hated it when we talked too loudly... It wasn't even when we argued or raised our voices. We could have just been laughing about something in the living room and he could glance at us through narrowed eyes, ears pulled back, then huff and get off his chair and go upstairs... 😂 It was hilarious to witness, especially because he wasn't scared, but he did NOT enjoy the volume change to his atmospheric evening, thank you very much.

Your Boss? Leave him alone!

[@waltersimpson5109]

We got a Boston terrier by the name Oreo .she is like a child in our home,and very spoiled.all the things that's been mentioned is spot on.

[@aubrey5571]

My Boston HATES when I trick him! LOL

[@davesoble5099]

Our boy Reuben LOVES the snow,

[@jeremyguillory5440]

My Boston isn't afraid of storm drains she literally ran out of the house and cut her leg on from the drain and still didn't avoid it. We had to take her to the vet to get it looked at. Luckily it was just a small scratch.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Oh no, luckily it was just a scratch.

[@jonathancoady8782]

I love Boston Terriers and and I am actually working on my third generation going on 4th and it is sad that they don't live forever my very first Boston Terrier lift until about 16 years old but I have carried on his bloodline and I am stuck with this breed they are just an awesome dog all the way around

[@marlenetorres-lozano8768]

I have had 4 Boston Terrier's and none of them bark when the doorbell rings. They all have loved the water and boating. I believe it has to do with what you expose them to from very early on.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

I would agree

[@everettsmothers2155]

I agree my boston is almost 3 months old...yep no to the rain,,,i just ordered some winter clothes,,,cause it be 70 in ky then 30,,,i like your site donnie keep up the views i be watching,,,,thank you from Angel my boston,

[@wyattgrigor1995]

We just got our first puppy! We absolutely adore him! I did a ton of research before hand, but after re-reading everything I'm having a small panic attack at all the potential health concerns. We are of course following all the vaccination / testing protocols to a T but none the less, I find my mind drifting to all the possible negative health concerns. Is this normal for first time boston owners? Also, if some of you could let me know if you encountered any of the "common" health concerns, or even if you haven't, I would greatly appreciate it 🙏🏻

[@Kitkat7826]

I have had 5 BT’s and none of them had any problems until their old age and it was typical “old age” dog problems. I just got a new puppy yesterday!

[@janaprocella8268]

I have been a breeder for 35 years and I have never encountered any health disorders of any kind.

[@laurajmitcham]

Millie is my first BT. She’s almost 9 months old and the only “issue” we’ve encountered has been allergies to pollen and grass. I started giving her an all natural allergy chew once a day that her vet recommended, and she hasn’t had any issues since. My sister has 2 BT’s and she has never had any major health concerns with them. I think that as new pawrents, we can get a bit overwhelmed with the possible health concern scenarios that we see on the internet, but don’t stress too much. If something seems off with your baby, take them to the doggie doctor to make sure all is well. Otherwise, enjoy all of those sweet puppy kisses, snuggles, and farts (BT’s are great at farting, lol!).

[@kellylflores3991]

First and foremost, invest in medical and wellness insurance for your baby. Maybe others can make recommendations for a good medical coverage and routine wellness exams. I have been a stickler on food - Bostons are known for gas (baaaad gas) and our vet recommended FROMM Puppy Food. She’s been on it once I was done mixing what the breeder had her on. I’m sure I’ll sound like a rule monger but she gets zero human food. Just FROMM Gold Puppy. And zero issues. I hope others can chime in on the insurance. It will save you a lot if your baby does need treatment.

[@marianfreeman2996]

My Brooklyn Ann Butler, hates thunder and storms in general. She loves walks, and kids, but is jealous of small other dogs. She loves attention and cuddling. Sweet, sweet demeanor.

[@mistypatterson4398]

Our two year old Boston despises bath time and not a huge swimmer. Likes to get wet and roll in the dirt aftewards.

[@jawasstolemydroid4930]

We rescued a mini boxer (half Boston terrier, half boxer, we think), and she HATES all these things too! Especially the cold. We have a big, beautiful fenced yard with a locked gate. When it's cold, one of us ends up standing there in the cold with her on a leash. I've NEVER had a dog like this before. I'm used to golden retrievers, and we also have a Lhasa Apso, who are absolutely in love with snow! But my mini boxer won't have it. She has sensitive toes. But she's also one of the smartest dogs I've had. She covers herself with blankets.

[@rodgerald8537]

This list doesn't align with my experiences. My two girls love to play in the snow. Granted, they like to come snuggle by the fireplace afterwards, but they love it and the thicker, the better. Vacuum is not an issue but a broom or rake gets their attention. Nails, baths, and teeth brushing are all easy and looked forward to by the girls. These girls don't mind the rain, but our boy we had before was scared of thunder. I love these dogs. We will never have any other breed.

[@kayeprescott8228]

Our Boston Terrier, Roxy, is 12 years old. Rain doesn’t bother her at all. She was raised to go out the doggie door to potty and rain or shine she will go out to potty. It doesn’t bother her to get wet outside but then she doesn’t like to get in the tub for a bath.

[@laurajmitcham]

Millie definitely hates bath time, having her nails trimmed, being told no, and not getting to go “bye bye in the car” with me. She doesn’t fight me on baths, but she does try to hide when I say the evil b word 🤣 I take her with me wherever I can, but since she isn’t a service dog, she has to stay home sometimes.

[@katiejbrooks3259]

She sounds a lot like my baby. I love my Boston Terrier so much and dread the day that she and I will part. It brings tears to my eyes to even think about it. Thank you for posting your note.

[@daveschuda2766]

My 4 Boston’s don’t mind the doorbell at all, but hate baths, cold weather, and most of all do not want anything to do with the rain. Your dog’s description of being in the rain matched my for exactly. One funny thing, I live in the wooded area and my dogs do not like chipmunks, they don’t mind squirrels or birds.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

😊

[@kristilouden4546]

Try a drone or Remote control car. Every time we get these out our Boston’s go crazy they bark and bite and jump for the drone or the car

[@victorkerik5351]

I'd have to say the snow and cold is def where you're from, im in alberta Canada and we run minus 40 C in the winter and we do alot of hunting in the fall and minus 20 or so and they have no issues at all running in front of the quads, loves the snow and rain as well

[@kceeman]

My Boston hates riding in the car. First dog I ever had that has anxiety over riding in the car. I have to tranquilize her on long trips

[@macizzyy]

Our dog isnt scared if driving but the only time she is scared is when riding in my moms car because my brother had an accident in that car

[@ellenaustin9572]

My Mom and I had sisters BT .Zoe mine hated the car and had to be sedated .Her sister Molly, was asleep before you left the driveway ! They enjoyed being together during visits And their different behaviors never changed !

[@MichelleBrown-g1q]

100% with the rain & cold! It’s like I have 2 different dogs! Sunny and happy & playful or cloudy and sleepy & grumpy. 😂

[@cbungaro]

Rain, but big puddles caused by the rain even more!

[@tdxn8734]

Oh goodness, snow and the rain, YES. Our Lilly likes perfect weather...70 degrees and sunny! Doesn’t happen that often in Oklahoma. 🤷🏼‍♀️. Fellow Kansan here! I grew up in Kingman, KS.
