Tis one veeeery UNHAPPY BT today, with the temp here in JAX hovering around the ARCTIC ZONE!
He does his "thing," & then gives me a look that says: "Are you INSANE, old man? Get my little doggy-butt back inside before I turn into a BT-POPSICLE"
I might give him his WARM & COMFY Boston Red Sox Winter Jacket early -- but I just hate spoiling the Xmas morning surprise, as he runs down the stairs, wide-eyed with the memory of sugar-plum fairy dreams (hey boy!?) still dancing in his little head...

I would love to have a BT! Unfortunately, my boyfriend won't allow it. Everytime I see that dog food commercial (the one about the size of the dogs' noses) I whine. Doesn't do any good. Maybe Ralphie would like to give me some whining lessons?

Would ya settle for snoring lessons??
Seriously, why NO BT??
Of all the dogs I've ever encountered, a BT is about the EASIEST to train, keep & LOVE I've ever seen!
He flew in to JAX from OKLAHOMA when he was 8 weeks old. We picked him up at the airport -- twas so tiny I was scared to pick him up! But got home, pointed to his new (well-prepared) wire-cage home -- he walked into it & laid down & went to sleep!
Honestly, with the crate-training (& my being here all the time), he house-trained in ONE DAY! Yeah, he had 2 or 3 "piddle-accidents" on the kitchen floor as a baby, but they were all MY fault, not his...
They DO snore (LOUDLY) and they DO shed somewhat -- BUT they are GREAT with KIDS, & they LOVE EVERYBODY (well, maybe NOT cats)!

Then a BT and Ken would get along famously! LOL!

Believe it or not, I'm not whiney.
