I had a brown and white Boston, her name was Nikki. We spent about 30.000$ to keep her alive for 13 years. The poor thing was always sick but we gave her the best life she could have in spit. Last month we had to put her down. I will always love her and always miss her.

[@redblaze2613]

So sorry to hear that. Dogs are a huge part of our lives, but to a dog, we are their whole lives. Sounds like you gave her the best possible experience. ❤️

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

I'm so sorry for your loss. 💞

[@lindadoran6062]

So sorry for your loss. Ours had pancreatitis the last 3 yrs. Lots of $$$ spent on veterinary and special homemade food and meds. She died a week before turning 11. I still think about her all the time and miss her alot. So, I feel your sorrow. Someday I will get another. They are such cool dogs.

[@motoguy3574]

Ha ha - snores like a 40 year old man....we're in our 60s and snore but our Boston is quiet as a mouse when he sleeps! Ours is seal in color and that's our favorite color for a Boston.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Lol we got Bella when we were 22 now we are 34 so I may need to change my age reference to an 85 year old man lol

[@dianeoliver9041]

I love those things about my Boston too, I also love that they are very intelligent & easy to train. The Zoomies are hilarious & the Cuddles are the best. Never had a problem with either of mine sitting by me whining for no reason maybe you should talk to your Vet about it. Yes, the excessive Licking drives me nuts but it’s a small price to pay for all that joy & love my Boston brings me. And one more thing I have learned, start talking to your Boston Puppy the same as you would a human child, some cute Baby Talk is OK but don’t limit your communication to that, the more you talk to them the more they learn to understand. You will be amazed at what they will learn to comprehend over the years & they will show you they understand what you’re saying even when you’re not talking to them, it will amaze you. This to me is the perfect breed; and I’ve had serveral other breeds. I love my Boston

[@lindadoran6062]

They sure do learn words. She would get wild if you said the word "walk" so we started spelling it and she figured that out! And if you said "lunch" her ears twisted. Ha ha

[@dianeoliver9041]

@@lindadoran6062 My first Boston used to give us trouble when we said it’s time to go potty to get ready for bed so one night I was in the laundry room so I stepped to the hall & yelled to my husband to take her “ Out To Potty” ( spelling it ) & he said what did you just say. I was totally amazed as I said just follow her she knows what I said as she sat by the front door waiting for him!!! I had never spelled it before. So I tried spelling other words like “Ride” & “Bath” & she knew those too & she loved to take a Bath & go for a Ride. She was so very Smart that it was actually scary!! LOL😂

My BT Tyrone has never barked. Only in his sleep. Sometimes I wish he would occasionally bark just so I know I have a dog lol. He also never whines unless he's dying for the gate to open at the dog park. And yes he would make a horrible guard dog. More likely to help the robbers put my stuff in their truck. 😂

[@lindagniadek5891]

The things I love about my BT Lola and BT's in general are: they are so cuddly, they are small and easy to take everywhere, they barely bark (Lola would only bark at other dogs when she's close to them) and they don't shed a lot of hair and are easy in grooming. Also they're just so good with people and are easy to train. I don't see any cons besides the deadly farts. 😂

[@judcrandall6762]

I have a black and white Boston that I got when he was seven. The only training issue I had was teaching him to walk on a leash. (His previous owner apparently hasn't walked him regularly.) He keeps his blanket for survival in the winter and as a security blanket during the summer. The best thing I've done for him is to get him a bed with sides. (bumpers) He'll prop up his head at times on the sides and other use the corners to dig in and stay warm. He rewards me by allowing me to walk and feed him. Oh, the joys of caring for a Boston.

[@michelephelps1087]

One thing I was not prepared for when we got our Boston was their incredible high energy and need for exercise. Our little guy gets very jumpy and nippy unless we exercise him almost to the point of exhaustion. He’s only a year old so I’m hoping that subsides as time goes on. I’m retired so I have the time to devote to my little guy. We go on at least one long walk a day, play endless rounds of fetch, and have an outdoor tug hanging from a tree in our fenced yard that he loves (and is very entertaining to watch). If I’ve done my job well, he’s snuggly by the evening. We also send him to doggie daycare a couple half days a week. He’s a handful, but he does make us laugh! Bostons are very smart too. They catch on to training very quickly, but their stubbornness often affects the implementation of what they know! lol. 🥰💕

The whining is so annoying but we always joke that she learned to whine from me. I am and have always been a whiner, and for the last 12 years I’ve gotten to experience how annoying it is. Also, the licking!!! It’s really hard to get her to stop once she starts. She only does it at night to self soothe and it’s really difficult to get her to stop. However, she is the love of my life, and I wouldn’t trade her for anything. I can tell she’s getting closer to the end, and I cherish every minute with her. BTs are definitely my dog of choice.

[@rebeccaswafford1107]

Completely with you on the Boston terriers be barkless until I got my eight week old puppy last Saturday. He is a Boston cute as a bug that barks incessantly. I was definitely not prepared for that because Sadie never barked when she was a puppy in fact she has just started barking at a year and a half since I moved to a new home It’s only if somebody comes to the door that she can’t see or if somebody is walking outside the backyard.

Between my parents & myself, we have had nine BTs since the mid-60s. We truly LOVE this breed!! I had three at one time (a bit of handfull!), but having two is perfect. The pups really enjoy being with each other. They are great dogs. All lived 14 to 14 & 1/2 yrs old except my first one. He died at 6 & 1/2; had a very short nose & terrible breathing/snoring problems. Since, we have selected puppies with slightly longer noses on purpose!

You used the term, "Boston Terrier owners." I'm laughing because we don't "own" Boston Terriers. They allow us to be a part of their lives...feeding, watering, walking, snuggling with them, and etc, so maybe they "own" us. Ours lived almost 11 years, and I don't recall that she ever was a whiner. Stubborn, yes, absolutely. Also, the licking was definitely a trait, and it was annoying. The cuteness and her positive characteristics outweighed the annoyance of her licking, though.
