Make It or Miss It Howie Style!

February 1, 2013

Howie has a little squeaky soccer ball that he is obsessed with. Last week when Miley was playing Make It or Miss It, Howie had a few turns with his soccer ball. Now, Howie is a little rounder than Miley, and not quite as quick or agile as his master agility champion older sister. But ...

Make It or Miss It!

January 24, 2013

Here’s a little game I like to play called Make It or Miss It. Miley loves to play with her frisbee in the backyard. She chases that thing like a maniac and more often than not, she can jump up and make the catch! She’s a pro! But she doesn’t get it every time… See ...

miley and howie boston terrier puppies-03

We’ve been having such lovely end-of-summer weather this week. It’s been cool, bright, and breezy. It feels like fall! I’m loving it. Although down here in Alabama we’ve got at least a couple more months before we’ll officially experience fall, and it’s likely to turn right back to 90 degrees and sweltering any day now. ...

Look Who’s Back!

November 29, 2011

It’s Louie! With his curly ears and floppy jowls… And wrinkly, pudgy paws. Did I mention his giant, floppy ears? Miley and Howie got to see their cousin Louie this weekend over Thanksgiving. He’s a little bit bigger since the last time they saw him. But try as he might, Louie still can’t keep up ...

Puppy in a Bucket

July 28, 2011

Oh my goodness, I have no idea what my crazy dog was thinking here! We were at the dog park. They had a bucket of water out for the dogs to get a drink. But not Howie. Howie thought it was a Boston terrier sized swimming pool just for him. I only wish I’d caught ...

Louie

Meet Louie! He’s a hound dog. Louie is Miley and Howie’s new cousin. This sweet little fella belongs to Kevin’s brother. We got to meet him last weekend and I fell in love. I vowed to puppy snatch Louie and bring him home with me. He’s got a heart-shaped spot on his shoulder. Melt. And ...

Return of the Swamp Monsters

March 28, 2011

This weekend, it rained. A lot. But by Saturday afternoon, a small break in the downpour arrived. Confined to the house for the better part of two days because of the storm, Miley and Howie jumped at the chance for a few minutes of outdoor freedom. To do this. And this. And this. Nothing thrills ...

Howie

March 22, 2011

Apples are another fruit I like to keep around the house to snack on. Someone else in the house really likes them too. This little stinker. Judging by the looks of those pudgy neck rolls, I think Howie could stand a few more fruits and veggies in his diet. Maybe a little more exercise. You ...

This will be the last of the MACH posts. Promise! At least until the next one. After earning a MACH, you get to take a bar off the course and keep it as a trophy. People usually decorate their MACH bars and set them out for their friends to sign, to commemorate the special accomplishment. ...

AKC Master Agility Champion Miley the Boston Terrier

At the end of 2008 Kevin started competing in AKC agility with Miley and Howie, our hyperactive, fun-loving, and perpetually malodorous Boston Terriers. He entered them in a weekly class after work as a way to get some exercise while teaching the dogs a few basic obedience commands. In these classes, Kevin learned to guide ...

What Miley & Howie Got for Christmas

January 12, 2011

So, after this Christmas, it became quite apparent that Miley and Howie have the coolest grandparents ever. Just check out what they gave them this year… It came in a box like this… And I literally gasped when I saw it! An entire box full of peanut butter! Individual, Miley-and-Howie-sized cups of peanut butter. Just ...

It’s a White Christmas! Miley and Howie style

January 3, 2011

On Christmas morning Miley and Howie woke up to more than presents under the Christmas tree… They also woke up to a white Christmas! It was quite a surprise to wake up in Alabama and find everything in sight completely covered in snow. At first they came sliding to a halt when they saw their ...
