Tales of a Boston Terrier

Ow my teeth...

It's been a few weeks since I wrote last. We had a relaxing Thanksgiving and Elvis even had his very own special Turkey Day dinner-- turkey and brown rice in his food. He licked up every bit. :) Elvis started doing the BT500 every night around 9:00... he runs around the house like a mad man! Too funny. He is starting to get his big boy teeth in. I feel bad because he whines and cries because his teeth hurt and isn't eating as much. And he has stinky breath. No more puppy breath. :( We had a play date with Elvis' littermate Brody and his sister Gabby and they had soooo much fun! I will have to post some pictures. :)

Boston Terrier Property Laws

We got a cute magnet with the Boston Terrier Property Laws on them to help us remember them. Elvis makes sure to remind us of them daily. Here they are:

1. If I like it, it's mine.
2. If its in my mouth, it's mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I'm chewing something up, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it looks like mine, it's mine.
8. If I saw it first, it's mine.
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
10. If its broken, it's yours.

He's here!

So--after much thought and waiting so long, we decided to get a boston terrier. We found a breeder, picked out a puppy, and he came home on October 25. What a great birthday present he is! We named him Elvis, and he sure is a handful! He's really smart and stubborn. And cute. :) Yesterday he had his first real bark! There was a huge white dog that came around the corner, and I guess he was scared. It was so cute to see this little furball let out a tiny, ferocious bark. He's such a ham! He is such a cuddle bucket though... if you are sitting down, he WANTS to be in your lap. It's pretty cute. He just wants to be warm! He loves taking naps with daddy. He has two modes. He is either super sweet and cuddly and giving all kinds of kisses, or he is running around all crazy and wanting to play with toys and bite everything. We feel like we just had a baby that skipped his first couple years of life and went straight into the terrible twos! But he's so worth it. :)
