Wounded Winnie

Winnie is super sensitive (she takes after me) and when she eats anything besides her raw meat diet, she get's all sorts of allergies. She'll scratch her ears so much, I'm forced to do this:

 

I always feel so horrible putting on the cone of shame, but I found one made of fabric, so it's not as terrible. She still doesn't love it, but it's a much better alternative.

After a few days, she's usually back to her regular old self, crawling around and chewing on bones, and being way too cute. 

Oh, Winnie.

Working Winnie

When I'm not writing novels in my living room or binge watching something on netflix, I'm freelancing somewhere in Los Angeles. The good thing is I work in advertising, so little Winnie usually comes with me. She's an excellent assistant!

This is her position most of the day - burrowed in her blankie:

She wakes up to the sound of bags opening - potential food:

She stares at me when she's bored:

Somehow she always ends up on my lap:

 

Working at the office is SO much more fun with Winnie by my side!

 

Wintertime Winnie vs. Springtime Winnie

I love this pic taken of Winnie on Christmas Eve in Denver. She's totally busting out of her jacket and not happy at all!

 VS.

This pic was taken a few days ago in Santa Monica, where it's already spring. Winnie's much happier in warmer weather!

You know you're obsessed when...

... your wedding attire matches your Boston Terrier.

 

winnie is thrilled

 

closing her eyes for the pic

 

just look at that little face

We love our little Winnie and though you can't tell, she's very happy for us!


Are you obsessed with your Boston?

Wiped out Winnie

This is Winnie's best friend, Kirby.

You might recognize him from previous photos and videos I've posted. We love Kirby. I might be slightly more obsessed with him than Winnie. She's more obsessed with stealing his bed.

This is usually how the end of the visit turns out.

The Wiles of Winnie

This happened. And then my gifted photographer friend, Grace, from the amazingly brilliant Shine Pet Photos made this picture.

Waggy Winnie!

Happy 5th Birthday to the little gal who saved my life:



This is her most favorite moment - post treat:



God blessed me with a little angel. I'm pretty sure Quincy and Sadie had a say in the matter. I will never walk this earth without a Boston Terrier by my side.

Thank you, Winnie for being such a gift in my life!

Wenchy Winnie

I don't know why I haven't posted a new update on Winnie's page. It's not like she isn't the cutest damn thing in the world. Where have I been? Oh, up my ass. I tend to get lost in there every now and then. But do not fear, I'm still completely and unabashedly co-dependent on my Winnie.

I found this picture of Winnie and her boyfriend Kirby (I'd like to note that Kirby is actually my boyfriend, but since humans dating dogs is socially unacceptable we pretend he's Winnie's boyfriend).

Look at Winnie taking over poor Kirby's bed.


Kirby looks like a typical dude thinking, "oh well, better let the bitch have it, or I'll have to hear about it all day long."

Wild eyed Winnie & Frankie

We were sad when Major moved to Colorado (without our permission), but the good news is Boston Terriers tend to multiply. Kinda like gremlins. Only a sweeter. And cuter.

Winnie and I met up with Taryn and her new rescue Frankie.

Look at these well-behaved these little girls (of course there were treats involved):

Piggie Winnie got a little too excited and almost climbed over Frankie to get that treat:

Then they refused to sit for a treat, because why should such cute little faces have to do anything for anyone:

Taryn and I took our pups for a lovely afternoon stroll around Concert Park. We got to catch up while Frankie and Winnie got to pee on almost every blade of grass.

I'm so happy that Taryn and Frankie found each other--look at both of those smiles! This is true love:

Bostons tend to have that affect on people.

Whirlpools of Winnie, Major and a little Hope

Before I share some photos and video clips of Winnie and her buddy, Major, I want to write a tribute to a special Boston named Hope.

The I Love Boston Terriers community on Facebook had to bid tiny Hope farewell (she was only 36 days old). Katrini's amazing Boston had a litter of 9 puppies, and little Hope was the runt of the litter. She found her way into our hearts and all of us fell in love with Hope. I cried, but last night I had a dream that she was running free and she was so happy! All of us could stand to hold a little Hope in our hands and hearts - thanks for teaching us:

Winnie and Major sufficiently wore me out. After Major left, Winnie has been passed out in her bed:

Andrea (Major's mom) posted this picture of a very tired Major:

Here are some pictures and videos from their visit together.

Major loves his tennis ball:

Winnie is too tired to argue:

Tons of blurry moments:

Standing above them looked a lot like a whirlpool:

Some tug of war live action (had to mute the clip because I was laughing so hard): But this my friends, is my favorite, and I could have spent the rest of the day watching Major jump: I love Boston Terriers.
