Frost Sat by the Icy Window and Looked Up at Someone Special
Frost has painted lacy patterns on the windowpane, and a pinecone wreath with a ribbon hangs against the glass. Below it sits a brindle and white Boston Terrier puppy with a white blaze on his face and one ear sticking out sideways. He looks up toward the camera with dark, curious eyes. A rope toy, a plush reindeer, and a basket of blankets fill the corner behind him, and a soft gray throw lies underneath.
Boston Terriers are sometimes called the American Gentleman because the breed began in the United States, and they are known for being friendly, lively, and fond of people. They have short coats that need little grooming, but they also have little insulation, so a cold window or a snowy walk can chill them fast. Like other short-nosed dogs, they can overheat in warm weather, so moderate exercise and a cool resting spot are important.
A window spot like this is ideal for a puppy who likes to watch the world, as long as it is not too drafty. A cozy blanket makes a big difference. We will call this young gentleman Boston, since the name fits, or perhaps Frost, given the glass behind him. He is not looking at the cold at all, only at someone he expects to be interesting. The quiet room, the wreath, and the winter light all say it is a calm morning, and the puppy is in no hurry.
