I do believe I saw him on that thread and even commented on how cute he was! Bostons are the best. Once you've been owned by one, it's hard to imagine owning any other breed. We didn't even give a thought to anything but another Boston.

1. Nylabone puppy rubber chew bones
2. Comfort Zone plug-in diffuser
3. warming disc (or old fashioned hot water bottle) wrapped in a towel and placed in their crate or bedding at bedtime
4. bedding such as old sweatshirt or towel with your scent
5. Ruff Wear leash that snaps around your waist and the dog's collar--makes an excellent way to keep track of your puppy and to facilitate quicker bonding
6. Crate--best way to help potty train and reduce puppy destruction in the house.
7. Patience--you're gonna need it!
8. Camera--we want LOTS of pics. :) :)

Sundial -- thanks again for the list. #1, #3, and #5 have now been purchased (or ordered)!

My step daughter's boston is the most wiggly critter I have ever met in my life. Bundle on energy is an understatement.

She's beautiful Emily,

Congrats.

My freind has 3 Bostons, Fenway Frankie, Rosie the Riveter, and Molly Malone.
Molly is a adorable but she is a HANDFUL:):):)

Okay Wahine- Your right somedays bundle of energy isn't correct terms more like a FORCE OF NATURE! However, right now he is being an absolute doll. Brody is at his best curled up at my feet and snoring very loudly! I love it when he's sleeping!

Those baby pics made my day, very sweet. I just googled to see what the grown-up would look like. Congrats!

Oh my gosh! How cute is she?
Is it close to her home coming yet? Are you all ready? I can't wait to see how she grows up!

We still have work to do (another outside light to wire and a fenced area to put in) and a few more things to buy (like food!), but we'll get it done in time. She comes home on Saturday, March 22. We can't wait!!! :D

And they called it puppy love..... :rolleyes:

Emily

I love her name - she is so sweet!

Okay y'all, prepare for a cute overload -- latest Paisley photo! This was taken by the breeder last weekend. She said that Paisley is really loving -- loves to smooch. :p

She comes home with us Saturday. We have purchased all her supplies and have re-read several great puppy books. My DH has been putting in a small fenced area with landscape lighting for her to do her business (and we'll take her on walks on our trails), and it's ready for her now.

Soooooo excited! I'm taking off work Mon-Wed to help DH with puppy duties and bond with her. I know I wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything else anyway. :D

Emily

I'm so happy for you!

Cute overload is right!!! She is adorable. How exciting for you two!!

Oh my gosh... I LOVE puppies and she is adorable! I can smell her from here! (Does that sound odd? Truly, I LOVE puppy breath smell!:o) Good luck with everything. It sounds like you are going to make EXCELLENT puppy owners! I wish you sleep!
Jes

I just want to pick her up for a snuggle and a smooch! She is completely adorable!!

Emily....wishing you and your dh lots of luck. Paisley is adorable. That is a great idea that you are taking off from work to help and bond. Also, this is such a great time of year to get a puppy with spring weather temps arriving.

I will look forward to you posting updates when time permits.

What a great weekend you have to look forward to, actually, tomorrow!!!
