I gained a new addition to my little family yesterday -- Bosco, the Boston Terrier. He's a 9 year old sassy and sophisticated senior and has merged seamlessly in with the other pets (another Boston and two cats). These sweet pets are so healing and therapeutic (and fun!). It's really hard for me to feel bad when these smooshy faces are looking at me. :)
Aww! Hi Bosco!
Rescue dogs are the bestest and I can just see the sass and sophistication in his eyes lol.
Congratulations

I'm a sucker for the abandoned animals! Little guy had his ear bitten and broken -- they sewed it up but it's droopy. He is so sweet. It's rainy and dull here, great day to sit with my doggies and cats, make popcorn, and watch shows about antiques -- I have a LOT to be grateful for in my currently calm life. :)

...Imagining the animals watching Antique Roadshow and arguing..."ooh now that's a lovely china hutch, I'd love to pee on that" "Don't be such a philistine Bosco, it's a classic piece that was clearly designed for clawing"...lol

Bosco is adorable! As is Bosco's fur friends.....I love, love, love my rescue - she's so contributed to my saved soul and renewed serenity! I believe we can learn a ton from pets - I know I have. Mine is forever truly happy, joyous and free in the present moment. Two words make her jump in the air excitedly - Walk and Treat....
Great on you for rescuing Bosco!!! May his adult life be full of grace in your home...

Warmest welcome to Bosco!
I agree that rescue dogs are wonderful, so loyal and loving, although I can not believe that I'm saying that this morning.
We get quite a few strays coming our way where we live and I always enjoy welcoming them to our home, fostering them for a while, and then getting back to our usual family group as the dogs move on to a new home. Our most recent stray is a very old doggess. She was skin and bones when we found her, matted fur et al. And still she wagged her tail! She is very affectionate, and has a tumour on her chest. As usual I told my husband, and our vet, no, we are not going to keep her.
Well a month down the line she has had surgery and is recovering and husband said this morning 'I would really like to keep this dog.' Logic tells me that there is no reason why not, we have the space here. But my nerves are jangling at my boundary being crossed! I feel like a heel for keeping this loving dog at arms length and for not being as generous as my husband! So this morning I'm battling with my dented ego and we all know how well that goes!
Yes, we will keep her and give her a home for the few years that she has left. And no, I shouldn't object to the vet having put pressure on us, the choice is ours and I could still say no, but for the moment I am feeling miffed! This will pass!!!
I hope that I can rise above my feelings and not only give this dog a good home but also carry on caring when the next hound comes to our door.
Thank you for the reminder E I M - our furry friends are such wonderful teachers!
