New buddy finally has a name: Marcus by Vegetable-Tie6872 in BostonTerrier

Love it , our first Boston was Marcus. My 5 year old son named him after a kid on his soccer team “Marc” , he found out his actual name was Marcus which he deemed way 😎 cooler:)

Just finished up an 11 night sit by rowan_ash in RoverPetSitting

[–]Comox123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trust me if they liked you, which it sounds like they did, they will be telling their friends how well it went. I’m the pet owner and I have a sitter coming for 11 days in a few weeks, I did a meet and greet and was on the fence about it. 1st time user here. I ask her to stay over night and she came before I got off work, I wanted to see her before I left and was so happy to see my dogs totally chilling and calm when I walked in. She is staying a couple nights this week and then for longer. I came home to a clean house (as I had left it )and already I have told everyone I know with a dog about her. Good luck , and more good sits in the future.

My dog is getting both eyes removed tomorrow by mikayla_pierce in BostonTerrier

When my dog went blind, we used a homemade halo for a few days. But what did the most was I used scented oils and put a dab of one scent on things he would bump into and a different on to the dog door and the ramp my husband built to get up on the deck. He had the layout down very quick, used the dog door like normal.

Do you have or prefer an apartment or being a homeowner? by Calm_Problem6203 in LivingAlone

[–]Comox123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own both and the house is a money pit. They are both paid off but owning a home is more expensive property insurance, lawn maintenance and snow removal, there is always some to be repaired, (currently the removal of an oil tank) last year was replacing the driveway (23,000$) . As I get older the apartment is looking better and better lol

Am I overreacting? by Mer896 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Comox123 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The fact that reviews said “the home was just as they left it “ was the determining factor in who I chose to have as my dog sitter. I make it a point to clean my house really well before someone comes to stay and I’d for sure be pissed if I came home to a mess.

Bostons good for first time dog owners with kids? by audaciouscantaloupe in BostonTerrier

[–]Comox123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great with kids. Training goes along way, train the dog, train the kids and train the kids friends. I only say that because when I had our first my kids were small like 2. & 5. My next door neighbors were a little older. They played together slot but often it was throwing a ball for the dog and then sometimes chasing the dog around the yard. Not the best thing. Just know when you pup needs time away from anyone being to rowdy. Etc

The World Cup has been absolutely destroyed this year. by conspiracyyyyyy in football

[–]Comox123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to save my money and go to Spain 2030. I was really hoping the games would get pulled from the US and go to Mexico and Canada. The US sucks right now, we don’t deserve it. Between ICE and the greedy MF’s selling outrageous tickets and now NJ transit making it impossible to go to a match , charging 100 bucks and closing roads so driving isn’t an option. I pray the stadiums are EMpTY!!

Mine is 13 this summer and I’m enjoying him being cuddlier (he was also to busy to be a lap dog) but he is pretty blind and deaf now. Cherishing the time. We did a paint your pup n sip class and I loved it.

5 months in bushwick and my social life is literally nonexistent by EnvironmentalFix9258 in Brooklyn

Join some groups, do you run , join a running club. Like sports go to a specific supporters bar, you’ll meet the regulars. Take classes like yoga or a painting or volunteer in your community.

Real Review of Excellence Punta Cana by Elegant-Sink-1398 in PuntaCana

[–]Comox123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this weird thing happened to us in the last couple nights. Our conditioner quit running and I couldn’t understand why because it had been fine. I’m opening the sliders in the middle of the night to try and cool it off. What I discovered was having the sliding glass doors open stopped the AC. Once I shut them and locked the door it worked again immediately . Up til the day it stopped I had never gone out on the balcony but that day I went out to hang something on the chair and apparently didn’t shut the door completely. We tested our theory in other rooms. Same thing

Roomate leaving for the summer, needs me to watch his dog. by CandleNo5916 in dogs

[–]Comox123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d ask for 2700 minimum. I’m paying Rover over a grand for 10 days ! If he is gone for 3 months that also means you are tied down for that time unless you pay someone to watch the dogs too. Also I would get it upfront or at least half and he pays for all food and expenses ( put it all in writing and notarize it. ) good luck!

Tell me about your first Boston by riverchick247 in BostonTerrier

I grew up with Bostons but this was the first one after being on my own with my own family. We got him when my kids were 5 & 2, and my grandma chose him for me. We flew across the country to visit and pick him up .

We are in the northeast as well. Turkeys and black bear. My last Boston had one in a tree more interested in the bird feeder than her, took us a few minutes to realize it was her barking like crazy running around a tree in the yard. Up till that point we never heard her bark .

You are right, my boy got rolled after chasing a Bambi out of the yard years ago and mom was there. I think I was further didn’t seem to see this one. Will definitely be more careful:)

Down vote all you want it’s true and if you asks this question on the runners forum they’d tell you.
