When, Where and How I Got My Boston Terrier
Lola is really my daughter's dog. She got Lola from an out-of-state breeder 3 years ago. At the ripe old age of 2 months, Lola was put on a plane and flown to us.
Lola is so full of personality -- she is loving, loyal, smart, and so personable. I swear she listens and tries to understand what we say. She has learned she has the lay of the land, and has staked out the couch as her favorite. When she is tired, she goes upstairs and puts herself to sleep in one of our beds. She is so charming and poised, I really think she could be a model. We just love her and miss her terribly when she isn't here.
I'd Describe My Dog As…
Lola loves to run, and she is so fast that her movements seem to blur when she runs. She loves to go for walks and proceeds to "smell" everything. Next to eating and sleeping, walking is her favorite thing to do. Lola is able to anticipate when it is time for her feeding and begins to harass you about an hour before time. She is completely devoted to our daughter and knows her footsteps. It is difficult to put Lola into words. She is really the perfect dog -- loving, devoted, funny, smart, very clean, sensitive, etc. We love her so much.
