I always wanted a dog growing up, but I was never allowed. I had to prove to my parents that I was responsible enough for a dog; A.K.A. I had to be able to take care of myself before I could take care of a dog. So after many years of showing my parents how responsible I was, they agreed to get my sibling and I a puppy! The only catch was that I had to do research on what type of dog to get and how much money went into caring for a dog. Talk about summer homework…

So finally, after countless dog-breed books, phone calls to vets and talking to dog owners, my family and I decided that a Boston Terrier would be the best fit for our family (if only I were this passionate about doing my schoolwork). When I was 13 years old, we adopted our Boston Terrier puppy. We were all so happy to have a dog. It took a lot to get used to a puppy. He went from being timid and obedient to running the whole household "0-100 real quick." And let me tell you, they’re the worst types of dogs.

1. They’re too calm.

Their lack of energy puts me to sleep.

2. They’re antisocial.

They hate being with others. They would rather be alone in a dark room than playing with friends.

3. They hate to be scratched.

See how they reject it? I never touch my dog. Ever.

4. They aren’t very observant.

They just sit there with no curiosity.

5. They’re not smart.

Want to teach your Boston a trick? Good luck!

6. They’re terrible cuddlers.

Forewarning, they are NOT snugly lapdogs.

7. They’re not cute.

So ugly. Gross!

8. They’re not fun.

Talk about the most boring dogs ever.

9. They’re not active.

Again, BORING.

10. They’re not adventurous.

They don't want to do anything.

11. They’re not graceful.

Don't expect a "Best In Show."

12. They’re unloving.

Boston terriers are the coldest and meanest dogs ever.

Just kidding, they’re the best and I miss my dog so much. Can’t you tell? In all seriousness, Boston terriers are great dogs who all need good homes. If you would like one of these little doggies in tuxedos, visit Northeast Boston Terrier Rescue.
