The Boston Terrier Duchess Arrived in a Hat With Pink Feathers
A tall black hat trimmed with jewels and a spray of dusty pink feathers sits proudly on this Boston Terrier's head, and below it big round eyes look out over a white pleated ruff. The brindle and white face has a white blaze, a short muzzle and perky ears that stick out from under the hat. Her gown is deep green velvet, embroidered in gold, with a stiff pointed bodice. A dark, quiet background lets the feathers be the star. Duchess Nutmeg is the kind of guest who arrives fashionably early and tells everyone about her hat.
Boston Terriers are friendly, bright and usually very good with families. They have short coats that need only weekly brushing, and they are often happy with moderate exercise, like walks and indoor games. Their flat faces mean they can have breathing difficulty in the heat, so keep them cool and avoid heavy exercise on warm days. Their large eyes can be prone to scratches, so avoid rough brush and check for redness. Many Bostons love attention and do not like being alone for long hours. Training with treats and praise tends to work well, and your vet can advise on care.
With a hat like that, she doesn't need to say anything. The feathers do the talking, and the face under them looks quite satisfied with the arrangement.
