We actually have several other family members who have not been introduced yet. They all have 4 legs. We have 3 dogs - all Boston terriers, and 4 cats.
We've decided someone buried a "cat magnet" in our yard. Currently we have (in order of age): Oprah (donated by my step-sister Deb who moved to Ohio, 17 yrs old), Jinx (found in the parking lot at Marks' work, 6 yrs old), Oswald (nicknamed "The Assassin" for his hunting skills & historical significance, he showed up on the front porch one winter day, 4 yrs old) and the latest addition, Lola (who showed up on the back deck one spring day, 1 yr old). No one messes with Oprah. Oswald loves to torture Jinx, and Lola loves to torture Oswald. Lola is still quite the kitten and thinks she is one of the Bostons. We refer to her as "the 4th Boston" at times.
(The picture above shows L to R: Smoochy, Jingle and Lucy.) Our first and oldest Boston is Lucy, a rescue dog. She is about 6 now and has 2 new knees which cost us a pretty penny. But, she is worth it. She is the tiniest of the 3 dogs and the most shy and nervous because of what she lived through for 4 years. Next came Jingle, who is 3, and then Smoochy, who is 2 and has a big bull-head like a catfish. They all love to chase and wrestle with each other and tear all over the house. It's fun to watch them play. They are all intimidated by the cats (and Olivia). We got all of the Bostons from the same lady, Sylvia. She saved Lucy's life. After we adopted Lucy we kept in contact and let her know we wanted a companion for Lucy (who just sat around like a sack of potatos). She gave us Jingle and later Smoochy. All 3 dogs had know each other before and were very happy to be together again. They are great little dogs - even tho their flatulence can bring tears to our eyes. Literally! Ha! The breed is know for that. I guess it could be worse.... (Cough, choke...)
