A while back I posted about my new baby.......I was very excited.
Well, I couldn't pick him up when I wanted to and now the breeder is kinda "playin" me. So I just got a call from a friend. She has in her possession a Boston Terrier puppy. 4 weeks old. I can pick him up in 2 weeks.
In case you aren't familiar with them....Here is a picture. No, this is not THE one, but you get the idea.
The only dogs I've ever raised were Bostons. I love the smooshed in faces. They are so ugly they're cute. And they make GREAT companions. I just couldn't afford the $700. This One Is Free!!!!
And there is no changing of the minds. I don't have to drive 10 hours to pick him up. I finally will have a "Mac".
I'm a little disappointed, I really loved the idea of the Shitpoo (as my friend calls it) but........this works. I know Bostons, I understand them.
So.....finally. 2 weeks from today I get the puppy. I have "babysitters" lined up for the over night trip next month. This gives me a chance to get this territory at work rearranged so that I'm home more. Yeah - this may be the "out" I was looking for. I HAVE to say no....can't leave the puppy alone to long - and yes, that is an excuse that is used OFTEN where I work, believe it or not.
OK - I've got to get out the door. Just thought I'd offer up a "puppy update".

Please post tons of puppy pictures so I can live vicariously!
Congratulations.
Posted by: Christina at February 18, 2005 04:57 PMThis sounds IDEAL for you. Free is good... short hair is great... (think of all the time you won't spend grooming!). I told you, when it's the right one, the dog will come to you.
Posted by: Teresa at February 18, 2005 07:02 PMI think the boston terrier is cuter than the shitpoo. Puppy pictures would be great! Free is Great! Congratulations!
Posted by: ktreva at February 18, 2005 10:10 PMGreat choice getting a Boston Terrier!
He may not be as cute as my Jasper but you're still getting a great dog.
What's his name?
I love puppies and I have always wanted a Boston. So jealous. Of course, my Princess isn't....
Posted by: caltechgirl at February 18, 2005 11:26 PMYes - you just let your boss know you have a male waiting for you at home and you can't stay late anymore. Have to take care of his every need...Yeah, it does sound just like a husband!
Posted by: Beloved Wife at February 19, 2005 12:25 PMLike Caltechgirl, I've always wanted a Boston. They're adorable! Can't wait to see pictures.
