Friday we are driving 2 rescued Boston Terriers to their new forever home 200 miles from here


I'm going to KC this weekend for my granddaughters volleyball tournament. Our middle daughter belongs to a Boston Terrier rescue group. As soon as she asked if I would mind transporting these 2 I couldn't say yes fast enough. You know me and rescue stories.

The weather person says it might rain on the way down.



I won't be online this weekend.

They're awesome, loving and very intelligent animals. Been a Boston guardian for nearly 15 years.

Thanks for all you do, Steve.

ever get that tiny house I need so I can live alone I want to get at least one. They are beautiful dogs.

Greatest memory was dressing one of them in doll clothes and pushing her around in an old buggy. Such fun.

Just thank you. You put good back into this world, and for these dogs (and other animals) you are their saving grace.

puppy dogs. They enrich our lives so much.
Thanx for giving them the ride. I hope their new family gets much joy from them.

Thanks for helping these 2 get to their forever homes. 2 in the car? LOL you better hope its not raining. The dash in our SUV has teeth marks all along the edge. They know where those evil things hide.

They live in Parkville, MO which is just outside KC. She came from Wyoming and was transported to Omaha and they drove up and picked her up.

She is 8 years old and very cute. Found out she is almost deaf which nobody knew. She had an ear infection for who knows how long and now she hears very little. Not that we care. She is learning sign language.

Bostons are very cute little dogs.
