A Boston Terrier Puppy Dressed as a Pumpkin Waited at the Door
Right on the doorstep, a black-and-white Boston Terrier puppy sits in a bright orange pumpkin costume with a green stem on top of his head. His ears peek out on both sides, and his dark, shiny eyes look right at you. Behind him, a real pumpkin, some boots, and a pair of work gloves tell the story of a busy fall porch. A cluster of bright mums sits near the step, and the autumn light makes the orange of his costume glow.
Boston Terriers are known as the American Gentleman for their tuxedo-like markings and friendly manners. They are affectionate and usually good with families, and they do well in smaller homes as long as they get daily walks and play. Their short noses mean they should avoid heavy exercise in the heat.
Costumes that fit snugly around the neck should be watched, since a puppy can overheat or feel restricted. Soft fabrics and a roomy fit work best, and the outfit should never cover his nose or mouth. A short photo session followed by a treat and a cuddle is a happy way to enjoy a costume.
We can call him Gourdie. With a pumpkin on his head and his front paws neatly together, he looks like the sweetest harvest treat anybody could find at the door. There may be real pumpkins nearby, but he is clearly the one everybody would pick first for the doorstep.
