Welcome to Life Down the Rabbit Hole

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 parks and she plays very well and everyone who meets her falls in love with her. She is a very sweet and loving girl. She's displays the Haggerty Spot atop her head. 

Vivi - a few months old with her Haggerty Spot

It reminds me of a Koi fish.

She's 19 lbs, very healthy, and frequently wears painted nails. She's black and white with some brindle. 

She is currently not spayed as I would like to breed her. Her "step-siblings" - Klaus, Egon, and Sookie - are all rescues and are fixed. I'm also a firm believe in microchipping (don't forget to register your microchip or it doesn't do any good). All of our dogs are microchipped and yes, they're registered. 

I welcome fellow BT owners to my blog, and those generally interested about BTs. They are a wonderful breed!

Labor Day was Play Day!

Trinity took Egon and Vivi out in the front yard to play. Vivi had a blast! I got some great action shots of her running, jumping, and then of her just being adorable. Trinity getting ready to throw the ball Vivi running after the tennis ball Chilling for a bit after a successful search & rescue of the ball What a jump Vivi! Egon is quite heavier than V. Egon is a rescue from NC. Just a second later from the shot above All in all, the dogs had a very playful day today. They appreciated the nice weather since we had a lot of rain from Hurricane Harvey which devastated Texas.  Until next time folks....snuggle a Boston :D

Vivi Had a Paw-dicure!

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. Up-close of V's paw - ignore my terrible pedicure - I just had surgery & have been unable to go to the salon
