I mean obsessed. Or possessed. I’m not sure. Have I ever told you about Howie’s obsession with water? This is the face Howie makes when he hears the hose come on…
He goes absolutely crazy when he sees it.
He wants to chase it.
He wants to eat it.
He wants to attack it.
*CHOMP*
Augh! I’ve been hit!!!
Oh nooooooes!
Gargle… Glug.. Blurp.
Oh no you didn’t! Nobody gets my booty!
Must. Regroup!
Attack!
*SNARF!*
Heh. Heh. Hee!
Shake it off, bud! You’ll get ’em next time!
Miley doesn’t get the commotion. She only bothers with the hose when she’s thirsty.
Howie does not like to share.
Usually she just beats ’em off anyway.
Miley carefully approaches, staring down the hose. It’s all about eye contact.
She tests the water…
And goes in for a gulp!
Sluuurp!
Howie hovers closely.
Everybody’s happy when the water’s out.
This is how you know it’s summer. That and it’s 90 degrees outside every day.
P.S. I took these with my trusty Canon 70-200mm f/4L Zoom Lens. Love this lens!
Thanks for looking! :)
They are adorable!! :D
I LOVED YOUR PHOTOS!,i HAVE A BOSTON NAMED CHLOE. THEY ARE AN INCREDIBLE BREED.

Brilliant! Our Max is exactly the same – he goes ballistic around the hose. His sister is afraid of water though. Go figure.
Your dog pictures make me so happy! In fact I almost want a boston terrier now!
Hi! I love this post! I love the way Howie enjoys the water. I think I fell in love with your dogs!
If you don’t mind I include in my blog the pics with your commentaries; obviously I put a link to your blog and the information required to understanding it is from your blog.
Congratulations about your blog and tutorials. They are very useful and pleasant.
Regards.
Oh my goodness! I LOL at these! ADORABLE!
Those are great action shots! I love boston terriers too
We have a pug ourselves and she goes nuts with the vaccuum. She thinks it’s an animal HA
I love flat nosed dogs :)
Here’s a few pics of her.

Amanda, you have no idea how hard I was laughing when I saw your pictures of the pups with the water. It was too hilarious. My chi, Zoey, was on my lap looking too. I was crying I was laughing so hard. They are too adorable and super cute..
Thank you for the fun pics you post. Jessica
My dogs are EXACTLY the same way! Thanks for showing me that I’m not the only one with a water crazy dog (or in my case, dogs).
This was so cute and the narration was simply hilarious! It’s so hot here in Memphis that I could use a little water time myself!
I love this!! Great pictures, great dogs!!
I just forwarded my husband the link for the lens. I really think I need that lens.
Hi Amanda and Kevin,
We have a Boston terrier named Mr. Higgins who is the LOVE of our lives and who doesn’t KNOW he’s a dog! Sleeps in our king sized bed every night with his own baby blankie on top of him…ah, the life!
I love your BOSTON pic and videos, what kind of camera are you using?
Keep up the great work and MORE pics please!!!!!!!
Awe, they are too cute!!!! :)
Those are the cutest photos!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
Miley and Howie are sooo adorable. The waterhose obssession must be a Terrier thing, cause my Jack Russell/Rat Terrier (Samson)is the same way. It is hilarious! Thanks for posting pics of your cutie pies!
From one PM (Puppy Mommy) to another these are WONDERFUL pics!!
Love, love and love the pic number 20!
Your pictures are amazing. I love the way the water is stopped.
Cutest post of the Summer!!! :)

Precious! I have 3 Bostons; Lucy, Sassy & Jack. I so wish they would play in the water!!! You made me (and my kids) SMILE :D
Awesome photos! You can really see their personalities shining through.
Wonderful pictures of wonderful moments with your dogs.
Thanks for sharing your posts on them.
Adore this post! I love the 70-200 also. And BTW, War Eagle!! :)
I just found your blog thanks to Clyde with a Y. Your Boston Terriers are adorable! Howie reminds me a little bit of my Boston (Hamlet).
This post had me laughing out loud (at work, no less). Your captions are hilarious. Thanks, I can’t wait to read more of your blog!

I love seeing your dog pictures–they always brighten my day!
Hi Amanda! I’ve tried to download the PW Set for editing my pics but found it unable to download :( Is there any option? Thanks!
So cute and so funny!!! That made me laugh and smile. And your picures are amazing! You have fantastic dogs!
Oh My Goodness, I about peed my pants from laughter! Your dogs are precious! What amazing pictures, and I so want your camera! I love keeping up with your blog. Your blog is in part what inspired me to make my own. Really! I’d love it if you checked it out! http://imaprile.com

love the pics! so cute :)
Fabulous pics!! Love the blow by blow narration. I definitely will be following their adventures in the future. I have a CRAZY little Jack Russell (and I do mean CRAZY!!) Thanks for sharing!!!
looks like the dogs want to cool off too from this hot summer days. really cute, I enjoyed it. Peggy
I love your dogs!! They are so cute!! Great pictures!
Not to be a nervous Nellie/Debbie downer or whatever, but here’s a cautionary tale about dogs and water from the blog of a dear friend. I wouldn’t want anything to happen to Howie the water lover!

So scary! Thanks so much for letting me know. I’ll be super careful and watchful with Howie from now on.
Love it, Miley and Howie are adorable. We have 2 boston’s, Ebony and Baxter, but neither one likes the water that much. Maybe this summer once it warms up, they will get used to it, they are still puppies. What would we do without them. I see that yours give you as much pleasure as ours do. Keep posting pics of them, truly enjoy it.
CUUUTE :) Looks like a fun thing to do on a hot day!
Ha Ha Love the looks on Howies face, he really is enjoying himself.
Too funny!
These pics are too cute. I can’t believe how great your camera takes in all the details. Is it the camera or the photographer making these great pics happen ? :D
Amanda, I found your incredible site a couple of nights ago and I truly have enjoyed looking and reading. Your scrapbook room is everything I have been trying to get my honey-doer to imagine
I love your dogs they are so funny; I have a Jack Russel that attacks the vacuum cleaner just because I touch it. She had many fights with her training cage door also.Got her nose stuck a lot (nickname:knot nose). Don’t know what that was about :)
Have a great day and thanks for all your hard work.
Amanda,
Those are AWESOME pictures!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Great pictures! Love the story, too!
Those are great pics!! Too funny. I have that lense also, but my pics never turn out that good!
That is so funny! My golden retriever does similar things when the sprinklers come on… It is hilarious to watch. You know the sprinklers that make the ticking noises – they make him the most angry. Sooooo funny!!
HAHA! These pictures are fantastic!
I adore these pictures….thanks for the laugh.
I’m definitely going to have to share this with my daughter and one of my best friends. They both have Bostons and will really get a kick out of seeing yours.
So cute and so funny!!! That made me laugh and smile and I needed that today :) Thank you!!
These are great!! Great way to start off my morning, get me smiling : )
Those are amazing pictures!
These are hilarious. We’ve had dogs like that.
Love it! Totally reminds me of some similar photos I have of our dachshund Gabby who is ALSO obsessed with water! http://www.flickr.com/photos/emskyrooney/4571974679/in/set-72157606729404693/
There is nothing like dogs to make life AWESOME!!!!!! These are great pictures and they just make you smile!!!! Thank you so much for sharing them – made my day!!!!!
LOL that is adorable,Howie loves that water as we can tell. You always get the best photos of them. My cats will quit playing when they see the camera come out, not very camera friendly…lol
I have been reading your blog for awhile and must admit it is because i love the pics and commentary of the pups….thanks for not only a laugh out loud lunch, but one with tears!!! the pups are adorable!!!
Those pics are so adorable. Love your blog, very interesting site and the recipes are fabulous!
Love the pictures! Both dogs are so cute!
Oh my GOSH!
How adorable!
I totally want a dog now.
Your dogs are so cute and funny! Oh, and your photos are amazing.
Love, Love, Love those “kids” of yours! The pics are terrific! Makes me want to play in the sprinklers, too! How could you not join in the fun!
So cute! I wish Rupert would do that!! He runs from the hose! :( As always, fantastic pictures!!
Fun! Entertaining! A great distraction for a hectic day! Thanks for sharing!
LOVE this girl! Such cute dogs, your pictures are just priceless :) Talk soon!
These pics are great! I love the stop motion of the water and the expressions on their faces!!! LOL!
Love it!! My first boston, Ziggy, had Howie’s approach to the water!! So much fun watching the “attack”!! Our boston, Scarlet, she’s all about Miley’s approach. Not a big fan of the water! ;) lol
Great pictures!! Makes me wanna go take some fun action shots!!
Oh I just love this! My little Boston would just love playing with yours. Thanks for putting a smile on my face in the morning!
LOL! Thanks for sharing these awesome pictures! They look like they were having a great time!!!
You’re pics ROCK! I need your skills. Cutie pie dogs too, sounds like fun.
Love Howie and Miley photos!!! They’re so stinkin CUTE!
Gorgeous photography!
Nothing makes my heart smile more than pictures of happy dogs – thanks!!!!
OMIGOSH! I love these photos!!! Your camera rocks, of course, along w/ your rediculously talented photography skills! I have pictures just like this of my two dogs running thru the sprinkler, getting sprayed w/ the hose, and jumping around in “their pool” (which is just one of those small pools you buy at Target). My photos are not even close to the beauty yours portray. Your shots are so clear, so crisp, so faaaaaabulous.
I need a new camera and some photography classes! sigh!
Hugs to you and your happy family!
Candi
What great pictures- they brought me a smile on a gloomy day
THANKS
First let me say that your photography is spectacular! Your commentary is hilarious, and your puppies are so adorable! Howie is crazy-possessed with that water, and Miley is such a fine lady!! Can’t wait to see more summertime puppy fun.
OMG! This is too funny that you posted this. My dog, Zona, does that exact same thing as Howie. But try to imagine it with an English Mastiff…..slobber flying EVERYWHERE!! lol
Life is Good! Darling dogs and awesome photographs! :)
Those are the cutest pictures ever!!! Thank you for sharing! :)
These are so cute. I’ve had a stressful AM at work and now I’m smiling. Thank you girl and thank you puppies for making me so happy! (I Love Boston Terriers)
Thanks for sharing those great photos of your two precious pups! Love the pics, love those dogs! Happy summer!
Oh, this is so hilarious :D I can’t stop smiling! Your dogs are just adorable :))
They look like they’re having a great time! Brings me back to when I was young and we used to play in the sprinkler! Do kids do that anymore? Or is there a sprinkler video game? ;)
Hah!
I so enjoyed looking at today’s website. It reminded me of my German Shephard, Max. He so enjoyed a water hose too. He did very similar things too, only in a bigger way!! :) Thanks again.
My favorite post of all time! Your dogs are so cute, I love all of the expressions you caught!
Too funny, your pics and story made me laugh and smile! Thanks!
I shared these hilarious pics of your sweet dogs with the girls at work and we laughed so hard! Thanks for sharing! Your dogs are adorable! I love reading about your family! :)
LOL! I needed this laugh as I take on my day. Those pups are too cute! I have my 3 chihuahua girls that avoid water at all costs so it’s fun to see “real dogs” out there getting wet, playing and having fun. Miley looks like he’s laughing, haha. Love that lens, too. :o) Have a great week!!
those pictures are amazing!
They are the cutest!!! Great pictures!!!
I LOVE the looks on their faces!
I think my boxer pup would love to play in the sprinkler, but we haven’t tried it yet. Your pictures are kind of inspiring me to try it! :)
They are too funny! What cuties! :-)
So, so, SOOOO CUTE!! :)
so cute!!!
So… cute…
Your dogs are adorable!
And your camera is amazing.
These are just too dang cute and funny! I LOVE puppies and yours are just precious! Thanks for sharing and enjoy the summer! :o)
We took Bella to the ocean last week and she was terrified. She doesn’t like water. She actually runs from the hose when I turn it on! I did buy her a lifejacket for the next time we take her to the beach though and I also purchased that tent from Amazon! She’s all set!
Great capture in your photos!
That was a-do-ra-ble! Love it!
Those are hilarious!!! Your commentary is the best and your pictures are just outstanding. Did you shoot these in manual mode? Did you do a lot of post editing work? I love the color and clarity!
I just laughed out loud at my desk! I LOVE these. I particularly enjoy Miley’s belly laugh in the last one. Soooo cute!
Howie is too cute!!!!!!
Thanks for making my morning a little brighter with these pictures!
Love the pics!!!
I’ve been following you and your fam (following…sounds like stalking…lol) since you first got Miley. I love them!! Howie reminds me of my guy, he LOVES water and doesn’t want to share!
