What my Boston Terrier did during the Palin debate

[Mesa]

Got the debate on DVR, so I'll catch up on what I missed. This was way more entertaining.

Disclaimer: it's about 8-10 minutes of one of my dogs destroying/eating a couple of boxes, so maybe not your cup o' tea.

Playing all 4 videos at once is intense

Cool videos. I'm actually thinking about getting a Boston. It was my alma maters mascot. What's your non bias opinion of them as pets?

 

[Bannister]

I was sure it was going to be a video of your dog taking a crap on an Obama picture.

 

[-Super Hans-]

that is such an awesome idea

I have two, and they are completely opposite personalities. the one that eates boxes also swims/dives:

He is very energetic and requires the expenditure of energy every 2-3 days at a minimum. the other one, Quatro, is a total couch potato, except when on Lizard/insect patrol.

Of course I love them both and try to not play favorites, but Westside, the more energetic one, is more fun, but he doesn't sit still for long to be petted. Quatro, the lethargic one, is good to just lay on the counch and pet.

If you have sensitive skin, their fur may irritate it. It does mine, so I have to be careful with letting them just waller me, cause it'll make me itch. Didn' find this out to after I had them, and no way I was going to turn them back in.t

Ultimately, awesome pets. I didn't want a BIG dog, and I din't want a whiney little girl dog, so this was a happy medium. They don't bark much at all, unless I tell them "WHO'S THERE?" Westside is ~25 lbs, Quatro is ~32 lbs.

Great dogs, They are terriers, so have that pack mentality, and have been known to gang up on other dogs when at dog park, until they run all their energy out.

Edit:

More swimming. I forgot that in movie mode, I can't rotate pic, so first 1/3 is sideways.

Quatro sounds like my kind of dog

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

Westside is a cool name for a dog.

 

[Fives]

awesome bt's you got Mesa, i have 2 Yorkshire Terriers, well their my wifes, and i guess its the same, ones really hyper and the others just a slouch, but yea you cant really play favorites, they both get as much attention.

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

the problem i find with my terrier is that when she wants to play, she wants to be chased around the house.. and outside she just smells stuff ..ill take her out to throw the ball with her and she picks it up walks 10 feet drops it and starts smelling the ground.

Two is so much easier than one, seriously. I had just quatro for about 6 months and he was so co-depenent that when I'd leave, he'd start destroying stuff, regardless of how many dog toys he had. They keep each other entertained, and you're just there to feed them and pick up their crap.

I also HIGHLY recommend a LASER. I have about 8 from the swap meet, but they are al out of batteries. That is the easiest way to exercise them or get them to chase something. Any laser will do, even those on tape measures/levels, just keep it out of their eyes.

Awesome dogs..you,ve got a nice place too.

oo i do use a laser every once in a while but i think she has ADD and looses interest about 10 mins in .
