I just don't know what to do with our little Boston Terrier eating machine. As I'm sure most of you know by now, Fergie has had bouts with diarrhea since we got her. We've tried four different kinds of food, contacted the breeder we got her from, have made several vet appointments, and have googled "diarrhea and 'Boston Terrier'" 'til our fingers bled. We've been assured that she'll grow out of it. And I'm sure she will but in the interim, it's obnoxious. Don't get me wrong -- I feel for my little schnarfey, but come on! The current batch comes after a three-week period of relative firmness. We think what set it off is THE CUP OF CAT FOOD THAT SHE ATE the other night. Needless to say, P fixed the broken dog gate immediately following.
Other recent developments with The Ferg include:
- She has taken to air humping her bed. No matter how much you try and stop her, she won't.
- She will stand in front of P (not me, just P) and bark at him for no apparent reason. This drives P bonkers.
- Originally we thought she didn't shed. We were wrong.
- She insists on eating sticks (which end up in her poop).
- She gets carsick. That should make for fun road trips during Thanksgiving and Christmas!
I didn't mean for this post to be anti-Fergie. I love her to death. Here she is doing her best to look completely uninterested in everything.

Fergie sounds normal. Copper did all those things and more (like eating my blackberry and other household electronics). She went through the stick eating phase, humping, random barking at people. They truly are like little toddlers. It's exasperating... I promise she will grow out of it. Thank the Baby j. Though as much as I'm thrilled Copper has moved past these annoying habits, I miss her puppyhood. It was so cute to watch her be so naively bold about things.
