We have a 6 year old female, Zoe and of course she's spoiled rotten!
She sleeps in bed with us and is SUCH a snuggler, she has to crawl under the covers and sleeps smashed right up next to me all night long!
She loves to go outside and do the "Boston run" around the yard -- when they run really really fast around in circles....does yours do that, too?
Oh, and if we say, "Zoe, let's go take a shower!" she freaks out, barking and growling and running in circles...all in play, of course....
What about yours? Share some cute or funny stories!! :)

I have a 2 year old male, Brady that is also spoiled rotten. He is my other child. He too also loves to sleep under the covers snuggling very closely to me. Also when he goes outside he goes wild and runs non-stop, but some times I have to walk him on a leash, well he walks me....great work out for me.
When I take a shower he sits right on top of the toilet seat waiting for me to get out and once I do he jumps in and out of the shower till all the water is gone. Loves to takes bath...you would think he was getting a spa treatment or something.lol
He also so smart I'll tell him to go get a certain toy or go find somebody in the house and he will start jumping and running in circles then he takes off running and gets his toy. If its a person I sent to seek out he will go find the person sit at their feet and bark (lightly) then run to me telling "common I found them" then run back to were the person is.
When he wants to be in my lap and get some loving he will sit right next to me and start huffing, sneezing, pawing at me, and making these nosies that aren't quit barking. I tell him come on he will get in my arms and lay like a baby. He is so sweet.
I have also noticed since I have had (8weeks old) that he doesn't care to much for other men to sit next to me. He will actually wedge himself between myself and the other person. I'm his momma and I think he is letting the guy know. My mom says I'll never get married because of him (jokingly) lol.
I love boston terriers they are the best companions to have that are very protective of their owners.

Oh yeah almost forgot....... when he is outside off the leash he likes to play catch me if you can. He'll run up to me letting me think he is ready to go in and I'll bend down to pick attach his leash then he'll run off then come back and do it again. But I have figured out how to get him.... all I have to do is open the car door and he bolts straight into the car into the passenger looking at me like are we going or what. Brady loves to ride in the car.....guess it was from all the driving between college and my hometown over the past two years.

I have a year and a half year old female. Her name is Roxy. She loves to grab her toys and run around the house. Always in circles! She'll be going full force at the couch and go to jump and hit the side, toy flying, twist around and catch the toy before hitting the ground. You'd think after hitting the couch a hundred times she'd figure out that how to miss it! Nope! I think she enjoys the bounce off and challenge of the catch! She's also really funny when it comes to cuddling. If she is sitting by one of us, and another person walks up to sit down next to them, she lets out this adorable little growl. Nothing vicious, we call her "mogwi" after the Gremlins movie, because that's what she sounds like. It's hilarious!

My family has seven Boston terriers total, and here are some interesting things some of our dogs do:Otis, our 6 year old male, is obsessed with playing ball, no matter the size of the ball--he's notorious for pushing soccer balls and giant playground balls around the yard, as well as chasing a tennis ball all over our house, until he's literally dehydrated and we make him stop to get a drink of water.
My sister's 9 year old female, Ruby, sounds like your Zoe, as she loves to get under the covers. She's also been known to confuse the words "pee" and "treat", as sometimes we are trying to get her to go outside to pee, and she's running to the kitchen instead.
Finally, my sister's other female, Pudgins, will lick the air and flop her tongue out of her mouth if you scratch her butt. This is probably one of the weirdest things I've seen a dog do!
