[QUOTE="jal, post: 288360, member: 3477"] We have a Boston Terrier that we took in over a year ago. She's a doll. She was a gift to an elderly couple that couldn't care for her so she came to us at 6 months through a friend of a friend. Sweetest temperment, so quiet at times it's like another cat in the house. She's a lap dog and spreads her affection equally between difficult child, husband and I. Luckily, she sticks very close as we live in a wooded area off and we are about 350ft off the road, so he can go out with-o a leash. We can watch her from our deck or be down in the yard with-her. She gets out her energy by flying (and I mean flying) around the yard and doing circles so fast you'd think she'd fall over. She is just shy of 15 lbs so she is easy in and out of the car or to move around. I wouldn't trade her for the world. (Me saying this since I didn't want another dog after ours passed and husband who just fawns all over her who never wanted a small dog, yet he just had to go and get her). I do understand though that they all have different temperments. Some are very very energetic, some like to sleep a lot and some are in between. We had had a Rottie for 14 1/2 yrs. Awesome dog in all aspects, a true loyal friend, as is the Boston, but the Boston is definately lower maintainence! [/QUOTE]
