A Boston Terrier Met a Gold Ornament Nose to Nose

AI imageboston terrierornamentchristmas

The gold ornament is practically touching his nose, and the Boston Terrier's wide dark eyes are looking up in a mixture of surprise and satisfaction. He stands under the lowest branch of the tree, with his big upright ears and white blaze catching the late sun. Behind him the room is cozy chaos, with a pile of blankets, a stuffed bunny, wooden blocks on the floor and a mug on the coffee table.

Boston Terriers are friendly, compact dogs with an expressive face and a clownish streak, and they tend to be devoted to their families. They also love attention, which can lead to a bit of mischief around holiday decorations. Glass ornaments can shatter into sharp pieces, so place breakable ones higher on the tree and keep the low branches for shatterproof ornaments. Short-nosed dogs can overheat easily and are sensitive to stress, so a calm holiday routine and plenty of rest are good for them. Your vet can give breed-specific advice.

Call him Boomer. He seems to have caught the ornament with his head rather than his teeth, and he's not entirely sure what happened next. The tree is still standing, the ornament is still shiny, and this very serious little dog is waiting for someone to explain. It's the kind of little holiday surprise that makes a house feel like a home.
