Boston Terriers are known for being very intelligent — sometimes too much so.
Their lively, affectionate nature makes them extremely lovable, though their sometimes stubborn nature or spurts of hyperactivity can land them in hot water with their owners.
Any angst about their behavior, however, soon melts when they look up at you with those huge, round eyes that seem to say “I love you.”
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Boston Terriers are no exception!
But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Boston Terrier owners must never forget.
If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Boston Terrier owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…
Check out the 20 Things All Boston Terrier Owners Must Never Forget on the next page:

I am sorry for your losses. We just lost our precious Fenway. He was our once in a life time dog. We loved him with all our hearts. He was fourteen and a half. The vet suspected a seizure as well. He passed away in my arms.

I have had to put down 2 Boston’s and I held them and cried and told them I loved them and I would see them again. One I had 14years and one I had 13.

We had similar issues with my 12 year old bt. I swore he had 9 lives like a cat. I put him down last May. It still kills me 🙁
I feel like I didn’t give him enough ya know.

I was with my guy too when he was put down. I just held him. It was the hardest thing I have ever done.

Just love him and give him all you can. I regret not doing more for my guy. After I put him down and even now still, I feel some guilt for it. I also have a young bt and I’m making sure I give him more affection and love everyday.

mine too,I was there to the end with my baby, she was 15 years old

I wish I could get another one, its been a year now and I still see her watching me on occasion. I cant get another one now though, they are way more expensive than they were 15 years ago and I cant afford what they cost now.

Chris Ridenour I know what you mean! I just put Avery’s cage in the attic but I could have sworn I heard her scratching at the door when I came home from work and in the middle of the night I woke up and lifted the covers for her to get under and I felt her at the small of my back. I miss her every single day! Boston’s have gone up significantly!

I feel your pain. We had to put our little boy down last week also from sezuires it just started and he had 6 in less than 24hrs. He was not the same. He was nearly 12. Im heart broken to say the least.

Sad to say that this little man had to be put to sleep on 23/4/16 because of seizures that just started over night. We are heart broken.
