I baby sat my sons girlfriends Boston terrier for a week an really enjoyed his personality. When she took him back I was surprising sad. I told my husband I wish I could have me a little baby one like him that I could teach everything to. I looked online, so cute, so far away and so expensive. A few days later I went to my local pet store for a betta for the bathroom and there in the cage was a 3 month old unnamed Boston terrier baby boy. Our eyes met and Jamaican love music began to play(kidding) I asked if I could hold him. He bit me and drew blood with teeth just starting to come in, he was uncontrollable and full of energy! He had been there for 6 weeks and was marked down from $599 to $399, but money was an issue. I reluctantly put him back and thought of him for days.I had to see him- I went back to visit- he remembered me! I stayed and played for an hour. Went home and told my hubby about him.

Unfortunately we are caught up in this foreclosure crisis- on our humble little abode, and every penny counts. We have a 7 year old Australian cattle dog named tbone too. How would he react to a new pup? I called the owner and asked if I could let him stay with us for a week, to see if he fit in- I mean it was like an adoption. He said he never did it before, but for some reason. YES. Tbone hated him and he ran me ragged, then it was time to make a decision. My husband said yes, but I do the budget. My good sense overrode my heart and I took him back, and lord I cried. I did with out him all weekend…that was long enough. I called up and said CHARGE! Clips his nails and bathe him and tell him mom and dad are on their way. We have had mackie for 4 months and I love him more than I ever knew I could love a dog. I cook him fresh meat and veggies every day and he is my happy spoiled little boo bear. When I am sad and I cry he jumps up on my lap and hugs me- for real and licks my tears away until I smile for him. When I have a migraine I tell him “Head hurts” and he know I cannot play so he is a quite little guy who sits patiently by my side until I recover. I never knew I could love an animal as much as I do him, he is so very special. Thanks Mark for all you do!
