I almost deleted this website but then I met someone at the dog show who mentioned she had read one of my articles and I thought, why not come back to the interwebs. What have I been up to? Well I added a third to our pack. Meet Bar None Mr. Higgins Swaggers With Panache!…
I’ve had three Boston Terriers. One has her angel wings, and the other two are young adult pups. And out of the three, two prefer sleeping under the covers. I always wondered why they do this.
