Yes, Senator Kennedy bred him and
the home where he was first could not keep him and Kennedy told the family he would find him a home.
I heard the pup was a gift from Senator Kennedy. nm

Senator Kennedy diagnosed with malignant brain tumor.
He has to have radiation and chemotherapy.  Hopefully he can recover from this.
Are you talking about the evangelist or US Senator? nm

President Kennedy hearse
How can someone bid on the Kennedy hearse? What a wonderful world do we live in!
Ted Kennedy back on Capitol Hill
returning to work 6 months after his brain cancer diagnosis. He looks and sounds great.  Good to see him back. He has his wife and dogs with him too. 
Katie, Kendall, Kara Ann, Kennedy. My name starts with sm
K and so does my husband and son, though I will not say what they are here...:) We are a K family, too!


Of course, being from the south, I LOVE double names like Katie Ann, Sara Grace, Grace Ann, etc. Love it! Too bad I only have boys
God will deal with Kennedy about Kopechne. In the meantime, I'm glad

What breed?
Ears can be a source of odor. They need to be dried thoroughly after a bath with a drying ear solution. Floppy ears can have more problems than prick ears since they hold moisture.

Dogs with facial folds get food caught in there. These have to be wiped out daily with a moist cloth. Oily coated breeds have more odor than others. Labs and some other water retrieving breeds have the oily coats. Teeth can cause odors. If using a doggy enzyme toothpaste once a week doesn't improve it, probably time for a dental cleaning. This is expensive because the vet needs to do labs before giving anesthesia, and the labs nearly double the cost in older animals because they check more levels (going from memory). The most surprising odor causer to me was my CJ seemed to have odor from stomach acid reflux. Daily Pepcid AC fixed it.
A food with corn can cause stinky feet ("Frito-feet").

Did you remember to wash his dog bed or blankets or Febreze his favorite chair? Odors could be transferring back to him. One loose dog I brought home from the park one time was stinky, so I bathed him before taking him to the SPCA. After he was dry I picked up his collar and it was horribly stinky. Yuck!

Just some possibilities.


?what breed of dog? some
breeds are known for hearing sensitivity (border collies and healers). does your dog seem to be bothered by sirens or train horns? you could try cotton balls in their ears, maybe. just a thought.
It is not the breed.
Yes, Bostons do have a lot of energy, but just like any breed, they can be properly trained. I have a Boston and she is the best little dog. She does like to jump around a lot and loves affection, but all I have to do is tell her to sit and she will. If I tell her to, she will even stay in that spot until I tell her she can get up.

If they didn't even know if their dog was in heat or not, they don't sound like the greatest pet owners, and my bet is that these dogs have never had an ounce of proper training.

Don't blame the breed. They can be great dogs. I would definitely get another one in the future.

Very true. Even if you like a certain breed, as I do (sm)
with my "Persian-habit", there are specific breed rescues out there for just about any breed you can imagine. I've adopted all my Persians as adult cats (who are often overlooked) from a local Persian rescue. Fancy bloodlines do not protect a cat from abuse, and sometimes I think it adds to the problem. Many of this rescues kitties come from kitten-mills that produce 'way too many kittens. Some grow up in squalid conditions (as my former Persian did... his breeder went to jail, and he was confiscated and sent to a rescue.) Sometimes even beautiful show-cats who have won in competition will end up dumped in the pound if they cannot be sold as pets afterward (again the problem with being an adult cat), or are no longer able to breed. How sad that a kitty can win a championship in the show ring, which certainly isn't any fun for them, with all the caging, baths and grooming, etc.)only to be dumped when the owner has no more use for them. My present kitty was purchased as a kitten by someone for (gasp- $3500 !! - oy VAY!)... and a year later she took her to a vet to be destroyed because she had a litter-box aversion problem. Can you believe that? Just thru chance, that vet had a client who worked for a rescue, and she came and saved the kitty, which is how I ended up with her. Granted, she was exasperating at first, as she would ONLY pee & poo on the FLOOR, not the litter box. But with lots of TLC, some time, (and crate-training like a dog), she is now a happy user of TWO litter boxes. (One for the pee, and one for the poo! haha).

You're right about the good dog vs bad dog & breeding comment, too. Look at pit bulls.... some of the nicest dogs I ever knew have been pits, but the type of person who usually is drawn to this breed often knows zip about socializing dogs, or else wants them as watchdogs, and of course, you read about what happens when things go wrong with these dogs every day. Where I live you now have to post a pretty hefty bond in order to be able to keep one within city limits, so of course in the poorer sections of town, that forces people to give them up. The pounds are OVERFLOWING with pits because they are now considered such a liability to own.

Too bad people don't have to attend some sort of a class, and pass a test, before being allowed to own an animal of ANY kind! And unless one has a license as a LEGIITIMATE breeder, I think spaying & neutering of ALL other pets should be mandatory.
I wish they would let the breed just phase out
that being the pit bull. There was an unprovoked attack on a man in our city a few weeks ago but 3 pits. He said glad not a child- could not have survived. He wound up in the hospital. I do not like them being put down per se, just wish each spayed and/or neutured and that would take care of everything. Too vicious to be around me, even the so called "sweet" ones.
Do any of you breed dogs?

My husband and I are debating this so I want the "real scoop"?  How much money do you make after you consider shots, care, etc.  How much work is it.  How much space do you need.  I want to know everything!


Maybe, but then you'll also breed mosquitoes.
We can't win!
They are so adorable! I love this breed so much, but I SM
know people who have one and she ran across the yard and got the neighbor by the foot after he got out of his car to go into his house!  They are feisty little dogs and cute as a button. I still love them. I used to live next door to a Chihuahua who would not let me out of my car, and when I got out it bit my foot. Our Chi is afraid of her own shadow and very sweet. The most she does at strangers is bark!  Just like people, I guess . . .  each one is different.
Ugh, I knew I butchered the breed name!
Kim, please accept my apologies for that.  My internet is saying connected for mere minutes at a time and I wanted to get her picture up as quickly as I could and with speed sometimes comes mistakes.  Forgive me! 
Again, it can happen with any breed. Look at pitbulls..
.
Should we destroy a whole breed based ...sm
on what a few do wrong? Look at the Dalmation attacks, Alaskan Malamutes, Pomeranians, etc. Should we destroy these breeds too?


I adore that breed, too. I was talking to breeders SM
at a dog show about them. I think they are just beautiful!
What an adorable breed picture. They will give you all s/m
the love you handle and then some. I wish every animal in the world was treated so beautifully. Good love this little angel's heart.
Lucky, you! I am sorry I got the spelling of this gorgeous breed SM

wrong. I study dog breeds, know every one in the dog shows, etc. and then made that fo-pa.  Not intentional, I assure you.  They had the Pembroke and Cardigan. You would have loved it.


 


Yes. You must make a point to see this next year. It is so adorable and a change of pace for those of us who don't watch the football game. They have them on what looks like a football field with lots of toys and they are all running around, and they play a sound track in the bakground that sounds like fans cherring in the crowd!

Years ago had a mixed breed (1/2 pit) and he was allergic to the carpet! sm
We tried everything and finally had to put in outside. My husband built this beautiful kennel for him. He actually thrived outside! I missed having him to snuggle with, but seeing how his health improved outside it was the best for him.
Because you breed out of wedlock then that makes you a responsible person?
Sorry, not where I come from. I am so glad I did not bring home (well years ago it just WAS NOT done) children. If a female got pregnant, sent away to an unwed mother home, most of the time the child given up for adoption. When I was growing up you did not pop out babies right and left without a husband. I have had more than my share of responsibility, been able to stand on my own 2 feet and provide really well for my family. I made the right decision for me and do not regret and have never looked back on my decisions.
Good for you! This one looks a little like the breed of dog, Brussels Griffon in the face!!! NM
