My husband lost his dearly beloved Boston last summer due to an accident, age 13. Smartest animal that ever lived. Our Mumpsy didn't shed. All the days of her life....she learned a new trick every other month. So amazingly smart and easily trained. Potty training took literally one day. We were unashamedly the biggest "show-offs" in every class we took her to. Agility, obedience, fly ball.
The last trick we taught her was, we'd say "Mumpsy, if your weight is good, you can have a treat". Then she would run to the scale and hop on with one back foot still on the floor (pretending to cheat). My husband still grieves everytime he sees a Boston. |
