Leader of the Pack? …
When we bought our house, we did so for many reasons. We wanted to move to a more community-oriented neighborhood. We wanted to make a good investment. We wanted to personalize our living space. And, among other reasons, we also wanted to get a dog.
After spending the first eight months settling into our new home, we’re ready to add another member to our “pack,” specifically a Boston Terrier: smallish, athletic, friendly, and easy to groom. And after carefully researching local breeders, we think we’ve found a woman we like. (We can’t quite decide if it’s an added bonus, or just a random twist of fate, but she has puppies that were born on my birthday!)
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be studying our Boston books and training guides, and stocking up on supplies. In about six weeks, we’ll have an in-person visit with the breeder, and if all goes well, we’ll be able to pick up a pup in two months. Then, let the training begin! Whether we successfully train our puppy, or whether it has us wrapped around it’s paw, well…we’ll see who ends up as Top Dog.
Please consider adoption – we have the loveliest dog – Luna – who we was rescued. She is so loving and friendly and, coincidentally, is a Boston Terrier mix.
There are so many loving dogs just waiting to be adopted. They will bring a lot of joy to your life.
I agree. You should adopt.
While we agree that animal adoption is a noble and worthy cause where appropriate, we do have valid reasons for choosing to get a specific breed of puppy from a responsible breeder (not a puppy mill or pet store). Instead of adopting a shelter dog, we plan to contribute to our local animal shelter in other ways.
