In this weekend "Dante" already learned to do his poop outside, letting us know whining on the door. Pee is a little harder cause he is still a baby one month and a half, so he can't hold it a lot. Already got his clock on time. At 5 to 5:30 am he wakes up, I take him out, pee and poo. Inside he eats and I give him his Vitamin (very important). Take a few minutes nap with him in my bed or on the floor. Then around half hour to an hour he poops again. and so on till its around 1:30 to 2:00 pm when he eats again with its Vitamins. I always wanted this breed, but I bent to the rescued and worn out puppies I found on my neighborhood :( Its sad how people take in a dog and never treat them as a family member. @ Marlene G. I had a Golden Retriever (Einstein) who died (put to sleep) this January (2011) of a Brain Tumor due to old age. It was a shocking experience seeing a family member leaving. But after losing my Beagle Dachshund Mix last November (2010) our family was already prepared. I'm not saying it doesn't hurt but the pain is better assimilated. My mix (Payco) was a rescue, who was nearly decapitated by being on a cheap leash. I asked the owner and she refused to give me his brother (who two month later she threw away and I never saw again). Payco was taken to the vet and got a little surgery on the neck fixing up the mess he was in. Given a second chance in life. But then one year and ten month later he catches something that looked like jaundice or hepatitis. He was hospitalized. Daily I want to check on him for 3 days. But he didn't had too much improvement (just like his medical record reads). He lost sight, movement, hearing. It was sad going there and calling for him and him, being super playful being there laying down, drooling and looking sad. My brother and I decided to put him to sleep because he wasn't like that, he would stop suffering and we would go back home knowing he wouldn't die while we weren't there. My family Golden (Einstein) started acting aggressive and convulsing mixed with weak legs. One Saturday he just lay down and never got up. When we saw that he wasn't in peace convulsing we turned him in so he could rest in peace. Why we decided to put them to sleep? We didn't wanted to act egoistical. We may treat them as family members but we also tend to treat them as our property. But they suffer, and they feel pain. Its always sad to say good bye and the suffering folds a thousand times while on Christmas time. But seeing such a loved creature suffering you accept and judge the situation and decide whats best for them and for your peace of mind. I hope the puppy gets better sooner than later and that it doesn't suffer any damage. Other than that if she makes it through, give her all your love and respect!

Found her at one of my client's homes almost dead. She was about two weeks old when taken from her mother and is now about 4 - 5 weeks old. She has hypoglycemia (her blood sugar was 20 when we took her in....has gotten to 60 and then dropped to about 42)., a respiratory infection, a heart murmur, was dehydrated. She has been in for 5 days now. I am beginning to get so attached to her and want to keep her for myself. I visit twice a day and hold her and feed her for about 30 minutes. I hope I'm doing the right thing as I know nothing about small puppies and have no other animals at this time. Any comments on her, please? Don't want to lose her.

He changed my reclusive lifestyle, and now i'm out there socializing whith the members of my Boston Terrier Owners Club. Once I was the proverbial cat lady, now i'm a Boston Terrier owner.

He is the nicest, most attentive, loyal dog i have ever had. He loves us very much and would do almost anything to be close to us. He is proud to always be the first one to alert us of someone comming on our property. In all Big dog mentality in a compact body. Perfect dog for the retired person who is home alone, for the family with kids... just show them your love and they will show it back 10 fold.
