Boston Terriers of Allison Wonderland

I painted Vivi's nails today! I frequently paint her nails (just her front 2 paws primarily). I admit I woke her up from a nap so she's still sleepy. Her & the canine crew were next to my back door when I took the pictures. They were hoping I'd let them out but it had just rained so....nope, they're going to have to wait a bit. * as always, click on pictures to enlarge Vivi in mid-stretch - pretty nails Vivi with Sookie & Egon behind her. I painted Sookie's today too Sleepy Vivi glaring out the window The color - a darker turquoise. Do you guys paint your dog's nails? What do you use? I also put a good top coat on after the color to help maintain the polish, since the dogs run, dig, etc. A good top coat makes the polish last a lot longer.

Vivi is my 2nd Boston Terrier. Elsa, the one rescued from a puppy mill, came into my life when she was 2 years old. Already very skiddish, never been walked on a leash, and had a lot of what one might call PTSD in dogs. Sadly, Elsa became ill and 9 days later she died. I sent her body off for necropsy and the results were a cancerous brain tumor. I purchased Vivi 2 months later from a private breeder. It was love at first sight - isn't it always with BTs? I had the name Vivi chosen and picked the first name to pop into my head as her middle name. The "Jessica" came from my son. He's high-functioning autistic and ADHD and requested Jessica be put into her name - although primarly she's just Vivi Nadine. Here are some pictures of her over the 2 years I've had her. She has 3 "step-siblings" (as I like to call them) and those are rescues. Click on picture to enlarge Vivi in her holiday dress All four having a nap A little Vivi with...

Hello all! Welcome to my blog about one of my greatest passions - dogs...and especially Boston Terriers. I am the proud owner of Vivi Nadine. She's my 2nd BT and quite the little diva. She has inspired me to create this blog. My first BT Elsa, was rescued from a puppy mill and was extremely skiddish and despised grown men and strangers in general. I got her when she was 2 years of age and sadly only had her a year before she passed from a cancerous brain tumor. Within months I purchased Vivi. She was a perfect ball of BT goodness. Vivi - a few days after I got her and a couple weeks before Halloween 2015 Vivi's father Cash, had one blue eye so V carries the blue-eye gene. Of course this began as a random mutation, just like all blue eyes. Her birthday is August 25, 2015. She's coming up on her 2nd birthday. Her temperament is perfect! She's very social, loves people, plays excitedly with other dogs - she has 3 "step-siblings." We take her to dog par...
