Boston Terriers Go To Horse Shoe Falls

The latest Boston Terrier meet-up we went to was almost two hours away and at Horse Shoe Falls. It's a park that has... you guessed it.... water falls. We took the pups to play in the water (the rivers around the falls) and a good time was had by all! After Olivia's big swimming adventure at the dog park pool she seemed a little braver about the water at the falls but wasn't as enthusiastic as she was at the dog park. The water at the falls was quite cold though, and I wonder if that was a factor.

Q: What do you call a group of Bostons?
A: An army of gremlins!

Olivia's First Birthday Party

Saturday May 10th was Olivia's first Birthday Party! It was through the Boston Terrier club we are part of. Not too many pups showed up that day but we still had a good time! Olivia wore a really cute red t-shirt for part of her party but then she got hot so I took it off her.

I can't believe my baby girl is old enough to have a birthday party!

Columbia SC Boston Terrier Club- Meet-Up 3: Boston Terrier Takeover

This past Saturday was the third meet-up of the newly started Boston Terrier club we joined. This was the first themed one and it was to have your dog wear their favorite spring outfit. Problem is the dog park is really dusty so I brought Olivia's outfit and she wore it for a split second and then took it off again to go  play. The turn out was great and the dogs all had a blast! There were a bunch of new comers too. Olivia made a new friend, a Boston with one blue eye named Maeby.

One of the Boston Terrier moms was joking that the dog park was taken over by an army of gremlins and later said "this is a dog park not a piggy park!"

Update from the Weekend

This weekend was a busy one! We attended the second meet-up of the Columbia South Carolina Boston Terrier Club. It was in the 40's (temperature) so a bit chilly and I think that's what affected the turn-out. Olivia was one of six Bostons in attendance. Other local people brought their non-Boston terrier dogs. Olivia wore her red barn coat this time out which made it a lot easier to tell which of the black and white dogs was mine haha.

On Saturday I received the new Boston Terrier hairbow that I'd ordered off Etsy. The price was right and it was cute, and I sort of have an Etsy addiction- especially for buying Boston Terrier items.

Sunday we went to a local horse show, Olivia showed off her new Minnie Mouse bandana and her new Minnie mouse leash. She loves going and watching the horses, and the activity. Plus, we met up with my riding instructor and her three dogs, who are Olivia's best friends.

And then, of course, there is Olivia's new best friend "Woody" a hunk of wood she found in my yard and is now obsessed with. She even tries to bring Woody in the house and miraculously always remembers where she left Olivia on the lawn. Olivia is really good about finding more... natural... toys.

The Boston Terrier Take Over... AKA: We Found a Boston Terrier Club!

I had considered starting up one of my own, but through Facebook I learned that someone else had the same idea of starting up a local Boston Terrier Club! How excited was I! The first meet-up was Saturday 2/8 at a free dog park. I think maybe 20 Bostons showed up, and it was really fun to see all those little black and white snorters in one place. There was even a 12 week old puppy! The Bostons were in all shapes and sizes.

One of the funniest things was watching normal patrons of the park arrive and be completely in shock by the Boston Terrier Take Over.

"Is it Boston Terrier day? Was this planned?" They all asked. Yes, yes it was.

The next meet-up is March 1 and Olivia will definitely be there!

In the photos, Olivia is the one with the black mesh harness.
