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 completely transformed backyard…
But it didn’t take long for the curiosity to set in.
They took off running and tore through the snow in typical Boston Terrier-esque chaos!
We managed to find Howie’s favorite tennis ball and gave it a toss…
Keep your eye on the ball, Howie!
Whee! Here I come!
Making as little contact with the ground as possible, he bounced through the snow like a deranged Easter bunny.
The snow was still coming down like crazy! Howie got distracted and tried to attack a few snowflakes.
Heh. This stuff is cold. And wet. But I don’t care!
Hey Momma. Get outta my way.
Wait! I think I see it!
SHOOMP! Perhaps we should work on Howie’s aim.
Found it!
Next it was Miley’s turn.
She takes more of a direct approach.
And comes back successful!
Uh oh. Here comes Howie!
CHOMP! Have you ever seen two meaner faces??
He tries to steal..
But Miley gives him the cold shoulder.
Uh oh. Howie makes contact..
It’s slipping from Miley’s clenched grip!
And he takes it! Miley’s left with a mouth full of snow.
But not for long.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, Howie.
Oh, Miley. It may be more of a snowball now, but at least it’s yours.
Good thing Santa already came or these two might’ve ended up on the naughty list.
Oh my gosh. I came to your blog for the fonts (thank you!), I come back for the Bostons. I grew up with a Boston…(I got mine because Joey McIntyre from New Kids had one…geeez)….aren’t they the BEST dogs?? I miss mine and can’t wait to get one of my own again! For now I will enjoy the antics of Miley and Howie :)
All of these photos are fabulous! Love the contrast of the black fur with the snow, and they look like they’re having so much fun!
Now if only adults (humans, I mean) could remember how to have that much fun in the snow!
Haha, what cuties! Lovely photos too!
Could they be any cuter? GORGEOUS pictures!
Okay, I have to admit it, I woke my husband
up because I started laughing. Any person/family
that has more than one dog in the house, knows
exactly what your pictures show and the comments
were perfect. It was just too funny! Thank you
that made my day.
Adorable! Especially the photos where it’s all snow and part puppy! What is it about dogs in snow and their abundant joy that is so endearing – and just plain fun to watch!!! Thanks for sharing these precious photos.
I love these pictures! Awesomeness!!!
YOU HAVE TO ENTER YOUR PIX ON PIONEER WOMANS SITE IN THE PHOTO SECTION…#7, 12 & 15 ARE FANTASTIC :)
SHE RUNS CONTESTS ALL THE TIME AND I JUST THINK THESE ARE GREAT :)
Hahaaa, I loved the ones of Howie bouncing around!! Adorable doggies :)
I love these. my boston has been in doggie heaven for a year and a half. these pictures make me smile and think of my jagger :)
The more I see the pictures you take, the more I want to buy a SLR of my own! And, who needs a formal photography course when I have all your tutorials right here! ;) Thanks for sharing such adorable photos!
What amazing pictures!
I just love these pix Miley and Howie are so adorable. Great commentary also I was laughing, and ‘awwww’ing the whole time. And of course I subbed. Yayyy!!!
That was fun!
I needed this today :) so, thank you. xoxo
I was anxiously awaiting your post of Xmas from the BT’s point of view after seeing your other snow pics. You take wonderful pictures full of action and amazing shots.
Wishing your family a very Happy and Healthy New Year!!!!
Jane and Liza
Oh, I just LOVE the Miley and Howie posts! I’m so jealous of your white Christmas. I live in Denver, CO and it was about 50 degrees on Christmas and NO SNOW! Such a disappointment.
Love these action shots of your precious pups! Such a great post. Happy New Year!
These two are so cute, I love the commentary with the pictures! We have a Jack Russell and have been wanting to get him a friend for so long but haven’t found the right one yet.
Your puppies are so precious,but I really like the photography. Are you laying on the ground? thanks for sharing……
You have two great little Boston’s there! I bet they are a bunch of fun!
Those photos + your commentary = hilarious!!!
Now those dogs KNOW how to have fun!!! Love all the pics!
XO Nancy
I just happened upon your site today. I have a Boston Terrier I love more than life! We live in Michigan & have plenty of snow for Jazz to play in. What a treat for you & your dogs to have a white Christmas. I will be stalking your site from now on.
HAHAHAA These pups brought such a smile to my face! Happy New Year!!!
OM! You know I love love love your doggies! But they are especially cute in the snow :) I wish mine would like the snow :(
I am going to have to learn to take photos like this of my pups! your “kids” are so cute and playful!
Thanks for showing all of these, I loved them!
Love love love it. I’m so glad to see someone appreciates Boston’s as much as me. :)
Just had to take a minute to comment on the entertaining dog post. I’m a dog lover myself and so I really appreciated the extended time and space dedicated to the dogs’ playtime. How fun.
Those pups are fearless! So cute!
hey Amanda..
Please stop by my blog… I have an award for you :)

Loved to see Miley and Howie – Such a beautiful White Christmas – Your pics are divine!
Those are great!! Thanks for sharing!!
These pictures are great action shots! Looks like the dogs had a blast in the snow!
ok – i have been following your blog for awhile – not only are we Auburn graduates but also have a deep love for Boston terriers!
Wow these pictures are awesome! Your dogs are so pretty and they look like they have lots of energy!
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!
I just love these pics!!! Especially the ones where it looks like they are flying through the air!!! Great job!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
OMG. Love. I die. The biteyface is the cutest thing ever.
Great pics! Looks like they’re having a ball, no pun intended:) Happy New Year!
They looked like they were having a blast!! What a fun Christmas treat for them!
Awww very cute!
Hehehe. I always love your commentaries & pictures of your cute puppies! Thanks for sharing! LOVE your site! Happy New Year!!
Adorable pictures of the Bostons in the snow. What kind of camera do you have? It captures movement well and that is what I need since I take so many dog pictures myself and they are always on the go. Now when I take pictures of them by the time my camera flashes the dogs are gone. Just wondered.
I always adore those pictures of your doggies! Soo adorable and sooo funny!
Amanda, your pups are having waaayyyyy too much fun out there in the snow. Had I been there with them I would have been making snow angels :) XXOO
I love these pictures. We had our two dogs, Rocky and Pudgy for 9-12 years. They played just like your pups. I especially like the one where one of the dogs is playing by trying to bite the other. That is exactly how our dogs would play. I can almost hear it now!
Sadly, Rocky died in the Spring of 2009 and Pudgy just died this past October. It was a difficult time saying goodbye to them.
Thanks for sharing the adventures of Miley and Howie. (Love their names too!)
OMG this is a hoot. I am soooo glad you captured them in “Snow” motion.LOL. You are wonderful with the camera. So talented. Miley and Howie crack me up. They are having soooo much fun. Thanks for sharing these wonderful pics. I will look back on them again when I need a laugh or 2. Becky
Love these photos ~ made me smile!
I love these photos. Please share with us the kind of camera you use.
I just found your blog and I love these little guys already.
Happy New Year!

Hi Gloria! I have the Canon 7D and used the 70-200mm 4.0L lens. Love this set-up for action shots! :)
love the doggies.. thanks for sharing
Love the photos!
Amazing shots!
The one of Howie airborn should be submitted somewhere to win first place!
I just recently found your blog – and I love your photography…..
What an adorable set of pictures these are! Thanks so much for sharing.
Oh, my goodness!!! These pics were just what I needed this morning!! I just love seeing what Miley and Howie are up to, and I love seeing the pictures of them. As always, I’m impressed by your photography skills!!! And how fun to have a white Christmas! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I just found your blog, and it sure made me smile! My grandmother used to breed Bostons, and I grew up with them. I got one for myself when I “grew up”, but she suddenly died last year at the age of 2. Did you get yours from a breeder? They are gorgeous!
Oh my gosh… picture #7… those little paws running away! So dang cute!!
Thanks for sharing these great photos….so fun! I’m so jealous you got a white Christmas. We have had a rather warm winter in TX this year (Boo). What a lovely surprise to wake up to!
What awesome pics of the pups. If you scroll down quickly it’s almost like one of those flip picture books that tells a story. Thanks for sharing and great photography.
Those photos are amazing (as always!) I love M&H and they look so cute in the snow!
I enjoyed every second of this post. It was hilarious! Great pictures too!
Those doggie pictures are precious. Great photography too! :)
Wow! I love the stories you tell of your Boston Terriers. We have had three and our newest one Izzy turned 1 on Dec. 31. She is mostly white so when we came home to Va. Beach and had 14 inches of snow on Dec. 26th. she got lost in it. We also have a white boxer and they both had great fun in the snow that we rarely see her in Va. Beach. Thanks for sharing.
This is just too precious! thanks for sharing.
this is the cutest thing. you just totally made my day.
Ah, soooo cute. We had snow late Christmas evening and our Bostons had a grand time too! You need to post this to woofboard!
I love these pictures of Miley and Howie! what settings did you use on your camera to get these wonderful shots?
I want to know too! What lens did you use? I have a horrid time trying to get action shots of my Boston.

TV mode
Shutter speed: 1/500 sec
Exposure control: +1
Focusing: Single point selection
Hi-Speed continuous shooting (8 fps)
Love this set-up for action shots! :)

Thanks so much, Amanda! Can’t wait to try this out :)
OMG, too cute! These pics always remind me of my two Bostons playing bitey-face ;)
Loved the great picts. God did bless us greatly with our pets, huh???
Love the photos of the dogs in the snow. You got some wonderful action shots!
Too cute! Thanks for sharing the pics…wish I could have been there. :)
I have to admit – they are very cute, and they look like they are havin’ a blast. Good shots!!
Great photos! Glad they had fun in the snow!
What cuties they are! These are wonderful pictures. We have a two year old rat terrier named Fred who would love to play with Miley and Howie in the snow.
Too adorable! Those two are just too much! I have three precious fur babies and I’m really not sure who is smarter, me or them? Yesterday I was pretty sure it was them! I love your Bosties. Great pics, as always.
These pups make me smile everytime I see them! What great shots of your cutie pies! Love it!
We’re cat people here, but the photos of your two dogs make me want to run right out and rescue two of my own. They look like such fun!
You have two of the cutest fur babies in the world. I, of course, have two of the cutest as well. My two Bostons are named Sophie and Java Beans. They are so like Miley and Howie it’s ridiculous! We had snow on Christmas morning and while Java enjoyed playing in it, Sophie decided to stay under her blankie. Thank you for sharing this blog with us! We love to see what the other Boston Terriers of the world are up to!!
So after I posted this, we lost our sweet Java Beans today. She had a fun filled morning playing then all of a sudden passed. We think it was a heart attack or stroke. She was 13. She is now playing at rainbow bridge until she meets up with us again. :(
I’m so sorry about Java Beans, Erin. :( Give Sophie a hug for us.
That is super cute! I love yuor blog!
Too cute Amanda! Thanks for sharing!
Great pics – put a big smile on my face! Happy New Year from cold and snowy Norway :)
Priceless! :)
Miley & Howie are adorable and as always your photos are fantastic – bright, colorful and crisp!

commentary…i meant to say commentary, and even then i don’t know if i am spelling it right?! sorry!
they are too cute and i love the cometary that put with the pictures! so funny!
My wife reads your blog, makes a killer pork shoulder from a recipe of yours and I have had a good smile at some of your past photos of the dogs…but these were just great on a dreary Monday morning. Thanks for sharing and cheering me up.

Love the pictures, especially with the blue ball.
Love the pictures! I’ve been waiting to see them since you said you got snow. Love the one showing the pink bottoms of Howie’s “feet”!
Looks like those two were having GREAT fun and you and Kevin were having a blast watching them. A white Christmas in Alabama … a real treat! LOL
Wonderful pics. Wonderful subjects. Made me smile on my first morning back to first grade after two wonderful weeks of rest. Blessings:)
I absolutely love your gorgeous puppies.
You are very blessed and so are they.
Happy New Year from Oz.
Kind Regards
Lynne Bilby
Too cute. I love the play by play.
Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous! Your photos have really captured what was obviously a fun (and freezing) moment. Happy New Year Kevin and Amanda and you beautiful Boston terrors!
Shew. Makes me cold just looking at it! Awesome pictures!!
Those are AWESOME shots! I love to see what the doggies are up to! And you did a fabulous job with the play by play too! :) Looks like they had a blast! Hope y’all had a great holiday season!
Thanks for sharing!
They are so adorable!
Haha :D I love the ones where they are caught flat out in the air!
Thank you Amanda – I always love to see what the monsters are up to!!!!
I love your Boston babies! So adorable! If I was closer I’d ask for a playdate with your guys and my pug!
Those pictures make my heart smile, soooooooooo cute
